Green Jasmine

Green Jasmine (茉莉茶) is a green tea scented with the aroma of jasmine flower. The resulting flavour of jasmine tea is subtly sweet and highly fragrant. It is the most famous scented tea in China, with the best reputed from Fuzhou where we produced our Green Jasmine.

Fuzhou, the capital city of Fujian, is the most important city in producing jasmine tea in China. Here, jasmine tea is the local tea beverage, while jasmine flowers are the municipal flower. Between 960 and 1127 AD (during the Song dynasty), Fuzhou gained the name of “The City of Jasmine in China”, and is regarded as the origin of the jasmine tea production process, and so far it is the only city to contain the complete production process. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recognized the “Fuzhou jasmine tea and tea culture system” as a “Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System”.
