Jasmine Huang Shan Ya Tea - 125g

JASMINE HUANG SHAN YA TEA

Jasmine Huang Shan Ya Tea is a treasured gem in Chinese tea culture, admired for its elegant harmony of floral aroma and full-bodied flavour. Grown in the breathtaking Huang Shan region, this tea is carefully hand-processed to preserve its exceptional quality and traditional character.

The leaves are delicately scented with fresh jasmine blossoms, creating a gentle, soothing fragrance that complements the tea’s naturally rich and slightly earthy profile. The result is a refined, refreshing infusion that offers a beautifully layered tasting experience.
Its origins reflect centuries of tea craftsmanship. Green tea has been enjoyed since the Tang Dynasty, while floral-scented teas rose in popularity during the Song Dynasty. The use of jasmine became widespread in the Ming Dynasty. Today, this blend stands as a graceful expression of tradition, innovation, and China’s enduring tea heritage.

Jasmine green tea is a potent, antioxidant-rich beverage that boosts heart health, aids in weight loss, and improves oral hygiene. Packed with catechin polyphenols, it protects cells against free radicals, while its calming scent can reduce stress and enhance mental alertness.

How to Prepare Jasmine Huang Shan Ya Tea

Brewing Jasmine Huang Shan Ya Tea is simple and rewarding, requiring just a few easy steps.
Heat the Water: Warm fresh water to around 80–85°C. Avoid higher temperatures, as they can diminish the tea’s delicate floral character.
Add the Leaves: Measure approximately 4–5 grams (about a teaspoon) of tea leaves and place them into a teapot or infuser.
Brew the Tea: Pour the hot water over the leaves, ensuring they are fully submerged. Allow the tea to steep for 2–3 minutes before pouring.
In under five minutes, you’ll have a beautifully fragrant cup with a well-balanced, full flavour.
Tasting Notes: Each sip reveals a gentle floral aroma, followed by a smooth, layered taste with soft herbal tones and a hint of natural sweetness from the jasmine.
Caffeine Content: Containing around 25mg of caffeine per cup, it offers a lighter alternative to black tea, ideal for a calm and enjoyable experience.
