Product Overview
Midnight Harvest marks the opening of the Soul phase within the Jasmine Odyssey collection, where the expression of jasmine moves beyond surface purity and elegance into a deeper, more introspective dimension. The overall profile becomes quieter and more concentrated, presenting a structure with greater depth and presence, and offering a more immersive and inward tea experience.
The name “Midnight Harvest” evokes the stillness and focus of late night, when the surroundings fall silent and fragrance gathers with greater clarity. Here, the jasmine aroma is no longer outward and airy, but gently drawn inward. It unfolds slowly and continuously, with a warm, settled character that lingers rather than disperses, creating a sense of calm continuity in the cup.
The leaf base is selected to a higher standard, with tightly shaped, uniform leaves that are clean and resilient in structure. Sourced from core jasmine tea regions in Fujian and Guangxi, the green tea is processed with greater precision to preserve clarity while achieving a noticeable increase in liquor body. This added thickness provides stronger support and extension, allowing the aroma to integrate more deeply and consistently.
Scenting follows a denser and more finely controlled process, with particular attention to timing and environmental conditions during the nocturnal blooming of jasmine flowers. Through multiple cycles, the fragrance is gradually guided into the leaf rather than resting on the surface, resulting in a profile that is more cohesive, rounded, and stable. After scenting, the blossoms are carefully removed, ensuring a clean and refined aromatic expression.
The dry leaves display a slightly deeper green tone with a subtle natural luster, reflecting their increased density. Once infused, the liquor is bright and clear, showing a soft golden-green hue. The aroma rises steadily, presenting a composed jasmine note that is understated yet persistent.
On the palate, Midnight Harvest reveals its defining strength. The liquor is smoother and fuller, with a clear increase in body and a more rounded structure. Natural sweetness is more pronounced, carrying a gentle, nectar-like softness that spreads evenly across the palate. The flavor unfolds in a steady, continuous manner without sharp edges, creating a calm yet layered experience. Compared to Twilight Glow, the tea shows greater depth and a more substantial mouthfeel, with a longer, more settled finish.
Within the Soul phase, Midnight Harvest represents a shift toward inner depth and integration. It emphasizes body, cohesion, and persistence, laying the groundwork for the higher expressions that follow. For those who appreciate a jasmine tea with quiet strength, increased thickness, and a more meditative presence, this tea offers a deeply satisfying and enduring cup.
