Instructions
1
Picking and Storage
Pick fresh jasmine flowers in the morning and store them in a low-temperature environment during the day.
2
Scenting
When the jasmine flowers open in the evening, layer them with the tea leaves in a precise ratio and allow the tea to absorb the fragrance for about 4 hours.
3
Repeated Scenting
For standard-grade tea, repeat the layering and fragrance-absorbing process 2-3 times; for premium tea, repeat 7 times. The entire process takes about 1 month.
4
Roasting and Finishing
Re-roast the tea to remove excess moisture. The jasmine flowers can be removed or blended back into the tea to enhance visual appeal.
