In a nutshell: An organic Jasmine Chun Hao green tea grand cru from China, scented with fresh blossoms. Brew at 75°C, 2-3 min, 15g/L. Silky floral notes, a smooth and clear finish.
Chun Hao is one of the finest jasmine-scented teas in the Chinese tradition. Its delicate, velvety leaves are dusted with a silvery down, the hallmark of young buds hand-picked at their peak. Tea lovers seeking the true benefits of jasmine tea often find their way to this cru, as it embodies the perfect balance between a truly exceptional organic green tea and the natural freshness of the flower.
To scent this cru, the leaves are layered in alternation with freshly opened jasmine blossoms over several consecutive nights. The leaves absorb the floral aroma naturally, with no added flavourings. A patient, generations-old craft, passed down through the tea-growing regions of China.
On the nose, the jasmine opens with quiet grace: a fresh, almost creamy floral note that conjures white blossoms in full bloom. The scent is immediately enveloping, yet never overpowering.
At the heart, the Chinese green tea reveals its vegetal roundness. The texture in the mouth is silky, gently sweet, with a fine herbaceous thread reminiscent of young spring shoots. The balance between leaf and flower is truly remarkable here.
On the finish, the aftertaste lingers long and soft. No bitterness disturbs the cup when the infusion is handled with care. To explore more of the floral green tea family, take a look at our Japan Flowers green tea, a natural companion to this cru.
Preparation makes all the difference. A Chinese green tea this refined calls for low-mineral water, heated to 75°C (167°F). Water that is too hot will scorch the leaves, and the flower's freshness will be lost.
Use 15 g per litre, roughly a heaped teaspoon per cup. Pour the water over the leaves and steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Taste from 2 minutes onward: the pale yellow liquor should be clear, the aroma already fully open.
The leaves hold up well to a second infusion, steeped a little longer, which reveals new facets of the tea. Our green tea guide will help you refine your brewing ritual.
Keep this organic green tea in its original caddy, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Packed in our workshop, it retains its floral freshness for several months. Avoid the refrigerator, as the cold can dull the jasmine's scent.
