Biosia Jasmine-scented Green Tea
Ban Lien, Bac Ha, Lao Cai
One of the easiest green tea to drink, primarily because of the jasmine, of course. Yet, not many know of the labor intensity with which goes into every kilogram for Ban Lien jasmine-scented tea.
The base tea is organic Ban Lien dried green, but even the flowers have to be organic or near organic as well so as to prevent contamination. Jasmine has to be picked in the early morning, or the middle of the day, while the flowers are still buds. Tea and jasmine is then put into layers by hand, allowing dried tea to naturally absorb the scent and oils released by the blooming flowers.
The tea is then separated from the flower, and might need more rounds of scenting. A long process for a cup of jasmine tea.
