Jasmine flower tea, one of the popular scented tea in China, is largely consumed in northern parts of China. Jasmine tea was invented in South Song Dynasty, which is about over 1000 years old till now.

The process to produce jasmine tea is less complicated than any other teas. Normally the green tea will be scented together with the jasmine to make the jamine green tea, but sometimes, black tea, Oolog tea or white tea will be used to make jasmine tea as well. Now in China, the best jasmine flower is from Heng County, Guangxi province. For producing high quality jasmine tea, basically at least 5 batches of fresh jasmine flowers are needed, so that the teas can completely absord the jasmine aroma,  and its infusability is longer than the low quality ones. Again, for high quality jasmine tea, you will find no jasmine pedals or just few in the teas.
