So whether you're already a fan or just curious about this fragrant beverage, read on to find out everything you need to know about it!

 

Types of Jasmine Tea

It is one of the most fragrant and subtle teas available. It's made by blending green tea with jasmine flowers, resulting in a beverage that's both floral and refreshing. And while it might seem like there's only one type of jasmine tea, there are actually several different varieties to choose from. Here's a quick guide to all the different types of jasmine tea and why you should try them all.

 

Chinese Jasmine Tea

Also known as yun router tea, Chinese jasmine tea is the most common type of jasmine tea. It's made with green tea leaves that have been scented with jasmine blossoms. The result is a slightly sweet and incredibly fragrant tea that's perfect for sipping on a hot summer day. If you're new to jasmine tea, it is a great place to start.

 

Japanese Jasmine Tea

It is made with sencha, a type of green tea that has a grassier flavor than other varieties. The sencha leaves are scented with jasmine blossoms and then rolled into balls or pellets. Japanese jasmine tea has a more complex flavor than Chinese jasmine tea and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

 

Jin Xuan Jasmine Tea

It is made with leaves from the Jin Xuan cultivar of camellia sinensis, a plant native to Taiwan. The leaves are lightly scented with jasmine blossoms, resulting in a sweet and delicate flavor. Jin Xuan jasmine tea is also sometimes referred to as "milk oolong" because of its creamy taste.

 

How jasmine tea is made

To make it, the first step is to pick the jasmine flowers. This step is usually done by hand to ensure that only the best blossoms are selected. Once the flowers have been picked, they're set aside to bloom. At night, when the blossoms are fully open, they're mixed with green tea leaves.

The leaves absorb the jasmine's aroma overnight, and in the morning, they're removed and the process is repeated with fresh blossoms. This can be done up to seven times to create a very strong flavor. Finally, the tea leaves are dried and rolled into pellets. When you steep a cup of jasmine tea, those pellets will unfurl and release their flavor into the water.
