How Is Jasmine Tea Produced?
Jasmine tea is classified as a flavored tea. Green tea leaves are scented using fresh jasmine blossoms or jasmine oil. The green tea leaves are harvested in late spring when the leaves are the freshest. The leaves are then dried immediately using sunlight, steam, or roasting methods.
Drying
Green tea leaves that are dried in sunlight tend to have the most delicate flavor. Steaming is the most popular method for Japanese green teas, while Chinese green teas are typically roasted. Steamed green teas develop more vegetal and sweet flavors. Roasted green teas are stronger and feature smoky or toasted notes.
Scenting
After drying, the leaves are stored until the jasmine flowers are ready for harvesting in mid-June. The flower buds are plucked at mid-day when the buds are closed against the sunlight.
They are then transferred to cool warehouses for scenting the green tea leaves. As the jasmine flowers are subjected to cooler temperatures, they reopen and begin to scent the tea leaves.
Tea leaves are highly absorbent and start to take on a sweet fragrance when they come into contact with the jasmine flower. Once the jasmine blossoms begin to dry, they are replace with new, fresh buds. The scenting process may be repeated up to 10 times depending on the tea master. The leaves and flowers are subjected to drying one final time to seal in flavor and remove moisture.
Packaging
The jasmine flowers are then either removed completely or packaged with the green tea leaves for sale. Jasmine tea is available in several different forms include tea bags, loose leaf teas, powders, and jasmine pearls-hand rolled balls that slowly unfurl when infused in water.
Methods of Scenting Jasmine Tea
Natural Scenting
The natural scenting process uses fresh jasmine flowers, plucked during the daytime when the buds are closed. Tea leaves from the spring harvest are steamed or dried to halt oxidation, and then carefully stored for maximum freshness until the most fragrant jasmine blossoms emerge in late summer. When the jasmine flowers are harvested, the dry leaves are laid out, with fresh jasmine flower blossoms separating layers of tea leaves. The layered leaves and flowers are left overnight, while the blossoms begin to open and the dry tea leaves absorb aromatic oils and moisture from the flowers. In the morning, the flowers are sorted away, the leaves are dried, and the process is repeated. More repetitions make for stronger jasmine flavor, as the leaves absorb more fragrant oils.
Blending
Natural scenting is a labor intensive method that produces a relatively small amount of tea, for the amount of work put in. Repeated rounds of scenting will multiply the cost of any tea. So to bring jasmine tea to the common people, shortcuts had to be taken.
Blended jasmine teas, or tea leaves with dried jasmine flowers, do not have very much jasmine flavor. The fragrant jasmine oils are absent from the dried flower, leaving very little recognizable jasmine flavor. Instead, the dried flowers are mostly tasteless, with a hint of bitterness. This is one of the primary reasons why herbal jasmine teas (without Camellia sinensis tea leaves) never caught on.
Artificial Fragrance
In our modern world, artificial flavors and colors are ubiquitous, so it should come as no surprise that they are also used to make jasmine teas. Unfortunately, the artificial nature of these created fragrances leaves them lacking, when compared with the natural version.
As with blended jasmine teas, cost is a motivating factor, so artificial scents are most often used on low quality teas. Mass-market bagged teas, for instance, are usually filled with 'tea dust', particles of tea leaf so fine that the process of natural scenting would be impossible. Artificial flavoring not only makes the process easier, it is also more stable for long term storage.
Step 1: Choose Your Jasmine Tea
Selecting the right jasmine tea will depend heavily on your tastes and how much you want to spend. Higher quality and purer jasmine teas are like fine wine in that they are more time-intensive to cultivate and thus more expensive. You'll also want to keep in mind which jasmine tea type you want, loose-leaf or pearls. For loose-leaf teas, use 1 heaping teaspoon for every 8 ounces of water.
Step 2: Prepare Your Water
When it comes to brewing any tea, water is the essential foundation for a delicious cup. Avoid using distilled water as it does not allow flavors to develop. Instead, you should use spring water as a first choice and filtered water as the second best option. Spring water is free from chemicals and compounds that can alter flavors. Using tap water can result in a more bitter tea due to the presence of treating chemicals such as chlorine.
Step 3: Heat the Water
Since jasmine tea is delicate, it is more sensitive to water temperatures and you should not brew using boiling water as you would a regular true tea. Instead, aim to heat your water between 160 and 180 F.
The best way to ensure proper temperature is to invest in a thermometer or tea kettle with temperature settings. If you don't have either of these on hand, simply use the Chinese tea brewing method of watching for bubbles. Bubbles that are the size of fish eyes and haven't breached the surface of the water generally indicate temperatures of 160 to 180 F.
Step 4: Steep
Jasmine scented tea should steep for 2 to 4 minutes depending on desired strength. If you find that your jasmine tea is too bitter, try using fewer leaves or brewing for a shorter amount of time. We recommend steeping for 2 minutes initially and testing the flavor every 30 seconds to suit your taste preferences.
Storage Tips For Jasmine Tea
Jasmine tea must be kept free from oxygen
Jasmine tea continue to oxidize over time with exposure to oxygen. Even when stored in an airtight vessel, some air remains in between the leaves and at the top of the vessel; airtight does not mean air-free.
Jasmine tea must be kept free from heat
Low-level heat speeds up oxidation, while high levels of heat prevent oxidation. Some delicate green and yellow jasmine tea are best if stored in the freezer or refrigerator; the cold temperatures dramatically slow down oxidation reactions. However, this must be done properly to avoid condensation on the leaves.
Jasmine tea must be kept away from light
Much of what is written on the effects that light has on dry jasmine tea is based on anecdotal evidence; this topic hasn't been studied in depth. We do know that light-induced damage gives tea a metallic flavor.
Jasmine tea must be kept away from strong odors
Jasmine tea will absorb the scents of their surroundings. This is beneficial in the production of scented teas, such as jasmine; the leaves are stored in close proximity to jasmine blossoms, resulting in a jasmine scented tea. However, this same quality of tea can be detrimental should your tea leaves come in contact with unpleasant odors.
Jasmine tea must be kept away from moisture
It's no secret that jasmine tea release their flavor when exposed to moisture. Because of this, you really don't want your tea to "steep" until you steep it for drinking. Keeping your tea storage free of moisture isn't as simple as keeping the leaves away from visible liquids. Tea is hygroscopic, meaning that it will absorb moisture from the air. An airtight storage container is the simplest way to block out moisture.
Jasmine tea is best when stored in bulk
This is basically a combination of the first and fourth rules above, but it is worth mentioning. A near empty airtight vessel with a tiny bit of jasmine tea in the bottom will deteriorate faster than an airtight vessel completely full of tea. To keep your tea the freshest, fill your storage vessel as much as possible, shake it to let the tea settle, and then fill it some more. The more tea you can keep in an enclosed space, the less oxygen there will be in that space.
