The most well-known to the West is jasmine tea. Scented with aromatic jasmine flowers, this tea is fragrant, refreshing, and an absolute delight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot all jasmine teas are created equal. Top grade jasmine tea undergoes ten rounds of scenting, which requires multiple processing steps and one month of processing time. Commercial grade jasmine tea in tea bags or those served at restaurants are likely created by spraying jasmine extract on low grade tea leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe best jasmine tea comes from Fuding of Fujian Province in China. The tender buds from this area are considered the best base material for jasmine tea because they are less astringent and more tippy, making them more conducive to scenting. During my trip to Fuding this spring, I was able to source a top grade jasmine tea that is made from the best leaves and processed according to the time-honed traditional method.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dragon Buds Jasmine is only made once a year so supply is extremely limited.

It is a tea loved both at home and abroad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production of authentic premium Jasmine tea is very labor intensive. Premium tea leaves are picked and processed in early spring. The finished tea is then stored away to be used as the base tea with the jasmine flowers that bloom later in the summer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh-grade Jasmine tea like the Silver Needle Jasmine is made in August of each year when the jasmine flowers are most fragrant.  The base tea is brought out from storage to be scented by the fragrant jasmine buds. Each round of scenting takes 12 hours, plus more time for the shifting and drying of the leaves following each round of scenting. The Silver Needle Jasmine undergoes eight rounds of scenting over a span of a few weeks. As a result, the fragrance of this jasmine tea is intense (yet subtle), natural and long lasting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bana Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471422603316,"sku":"08-SILVER-001","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/1825\/6948\/files\/bana_silverneedlejasmine_overhead.jpg?v=1780030064"}],"url":"https:\/\/banateacompany.us\/collections\/green-tea.oembed","provider":"Bana Tea Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
