Why Is There No Jasmine in Jasmine Tea?

茉莉花1

Maybe you will feel confused about why sometimes you can't see jasmine in traditional Chinese jasmine tea. Even if there is, only a few dried jasmine petals will be used for decoration.
Actually, the kind of "jasmine tea" without tea leaves is jasmine herbal tea, not jasmine tea.

Accordingly, you might have following questions:

1. Why does jasmine tea still have a strong jasmine fragrance when you can't see jasmine flowers?

: This comes down to one of the production processes of jasmine tea - scenting, which is the process of the jasmine flowers exhale the fragrance, the tea leaves absorb the fragrance, and the tea leaves finally blend with the flower fragrance. This process takes 12 to 14 hours. Traditional jasmine tea needs to go through several "scenting" processes. That's why jasmine tea have a strong jasmine fragrance even if you can’t see jasmine flowers.

2. Why does jasmine tea still have a strong jasmine fragrance when you can't see jasmine flowers?

: Because the tea has a strong adsorption capability, the tea leaves have fully absorbed the fragrance of jasmine. Besides, the residual yellowing petals will also affect the taste of the tea if they are not separated out.

 

3. Is Jasmine tea with flowers worse than those without flowers?

: Not necessarily. Some high-end jasmine teas will select some high-quality jasmine flowers and dry them into the finished product. Such a small amount of dried jasmine flowers that have not been scented will not affect the taste of the tea and are more aesthetically pleasing to add to the tea.
