Jasmine Mao Jian Tin

A tea caddy tin of our loose leaf Jasmine Mao Jian. Fresh jasmine flowers give the fragrance to this famous Chinese jasmine green tea. The jasmine blooms are layered on top of tea over night and as the flowers open, the tea is beautifully scented. This ancient process is repeated up to 5 times infusing the tea leaves with the most delicate flavours. The type of green tea is called Mao Jian or “Downy Tip”. The nickname comes from the little hairs on the young leaves and that’s a sign of exquisite quality. Our Jasmine “Mao Jian” is a masterly crafted delicacy.
