Product Overview
Summer Breeze Jasmine Green Tea is celebrated for its exceptional balance of quality, flavor, and affordability. As a mid-range jasmine tea, it represents the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, offering tea enthusiasts a delightful blend of fresh green tea and aromatic jasmine flowers.
The origins of this tea can be traced to China's rich tea culture, particularly in regions such as Fujian, Guangxi, and Yunnan. These provinces are renowned for their high-quality green teas and jasmine flowers, making them ideal for producing premium jasmine teas. The name "Summer Breeze" reflects its essence: Jasmine green tea is renowned for its delicate floral aroma, reminiscent of a gentle summer breeze carrying the scent of blooming jasmine flowers. This natural fragrance evokes the freshness and tranquility of a summer day. The cooling, refreshing nature of the green tea pairs well with the image of a summer breeze, which provides relief and comfort on warm days. Drinking Summer Breeze jasmine green tea feels like a soothing pause, much like stepping into the coolness of shade under a summer sky.
The uniqueness of Summer Breeze lies in its meticulous production process, which combines green tea crafting techniques with jasmine flower scenting. After harvesting, the leaves undergo traditional green tea processing, including:
Withering: To reduce moisture content.
Fixing: High-temperature heating to preserve the tea's green color and prevent oxidation.
Rolling and Drying: To shape the tea into its characteristic appearance.
Scenting: The essence of Summer Breeze lies in its scenting process. Fresh jasmine flowers are layered with green tea leaves in a carefully controlled environment. Over several hours, the tea absorbs the flower's fragrance. The flowers are then removed, and the process is repeated multiple times.
Final Drying: After the scenting process, the tea is gently dried to lock in the flavor and aroma, resulting in the finished product.
The tea is characterized by slender, needle-like leaves. The leaves are evenly shaped and boast a vibrant green hue, reflecting their high quality.
The jasmine scent is natural, fresh, and elegant. Unlike lower-grade jasmine teas with artificial or overpowering fragrances, Summer Breeze offers a balanced and lingering floral aroma that complements the green tea. The tea produces a bright, clear liquor with a subtle yellow-green tint. The flavor is smooth, sweet, and refreshing, with the floral jasmine notes harmonizing perfectly with the fresh, grassy undertones of the green tea. The aftertaste is long-lasting and slightly sweet.
The tea is light and silky on the palate, making it a delightful experience for both casual drinkers and connoisseurs. The tea offers a peaceful experience for the senses, much like the soft wind of summer calms the mind and stirs feelings of joy and relaxation. The meticulous production process, combining traditional green tea techniques and jasmine-scenting artistry, ensures consistent quality. This attention to detail distinguishes Summer Breeze from other mid-range jasmine teas.
Brewing Guide: Use 3 grams of tea leaves per cup (about 200 ml of water). Brew with water at 80–85°C (176–185°F) to avoid bitterness. Steep for 30 seconds to 1 minute for the first infusion. Gradually increase steeping time for subsequent infusions.
