Delicadas e tenras folhas de chá verde da província de Fujian, na China, são colhidas em maio e processadas para preservar o seu sabor — depois, são colocadas entre botões de jasmim acabados de colher, que se abrem lentamente para partilhar a sua fragrância. Muitos consideram esta a união perfeita.
The jasmine aroma is so gentle and natural, like the buds are still slowly opening in the cup. I brewed a small pot this afternoon and the leaves stayed tender through three infusions without any bitterness.
The May-picked leaves stay incredibly tender, and the jasmine buds unfold gradually over several steeps instead of hitting you all at once. I brewed a second cup from the same leaves and it was still fragrant and sweet, which surprised me for such a delicate tea.
The jasmine buds in this batch are so fresh that the floral scent unfolds gradually with each steep, instead of hitting all at once. I've been brewing it lightly at cooler water and the leaves stay tender through three infusions, which feels like getting real value from the May harvest.
