In a nutshell: An organic Chun Hao jasmine green tea grand cru from China, scented with fresh flowers. Brew at 75°C, 2-3 min, 15g/L. Silky floral notes, soft and limpid finish.
Chun Hao is one of the finest jasmine-scented teas in the Chinese tradition. Its slender, velvety leaves are dusted with a silver down, the hallmark of young buds hand-picked at their peak. Tea lovers drawn to jasmine's gentle virtues often find their way back to this cru, as it embodies the perfect balance between an exceptional organic green tea and the natural freshness of the flower.
To scent this tea, the leaves are layered in alternation with freshly opened jasmine blossoms over several consecutive nights. The leaves slowly absorb the floral aroma without any added flavouring. A patient, generations-old craft, passed down across China.
On the first breath, the jasmine rises with delicacy: a fresh, almost creamy floral note that evokes white blossoms in full bloom. The scent is immediately enveloping, yet never overpowering.
At the heart, the Chinese green tea reveals its rounded, vegetal character. The texture in the mouth is silky and gently sweet, with a fine herbaceous thread that recalls young spring shoots. The balance between leaf and flower is truly remarkable here.
On the finish, the tea lingers long, soft and persistent. No bitterness disturbs the tasting when the infusion is well handled. To continue exploring the world of floral green teas, try our Japanese Flowers green tea, a complementary creation in the same family.
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 will lose its freshness.
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: the pale yellow liquor should be limpid and clear, the fragrance already fully open.
The leaves will hold for a second infusion, steeped a little longer, which brings out other facets of the tea. Our guide to green tea will help you refine your brewing ritual.
Keep this organic green tea in its original tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Packed in our workshop, it will retain its floral freshness for several months. Avoid the refrigerator, which can dull the jasmine's scent.
