Jasmine Green Tea (茉香绿茶)

Jasmine tea, also known as "Jasmine Fragrance Tea" or "Mo Li Xiang Pian," falls under the category of flower tea. Its tea base is green tea, and the finished product is created by infusing green tea with the aroma of jasmine flowers. With a history of over a thousand years, this tea originates from Fuzhou, Fujian Province, which is considered the world's birthplace of jasmine tea. The harmonious blend of tea and jasmine fragrance has earned it the reputation of being "the best tea with the scent of jasmine" and is a major product in the realm of flower teas, with a vast production area, high yield, and diverse varieties. It was even presented as a tribute during the Qing Dynasty, with a history spanning more than 150 years. The inception of Fuzhou jasmine tea can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, with innovations in traditional Chinese medicine contributing to its development. During the Song Dynasty, the medical school recognized the aromatic and health benefits of tea, sparking a trend in fragrant teas and leading to the creation of dozens of aromatic tea varieties. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fuzhou jasmine tea has been a prominent choice for diplomatic gifts. It involves a meticulous process of blending and scenting tea leaves with fresh jasmine flowers, resulting in tea that absorbs the floral aroma, creating the distinctive jasmine tea we know today.
