THE CRAFT: 6-TIMES SCENTING "六次窨制“

True jasmine tea is not flavored; it is scented. The tea leaves naturally "breathe in" the floral essence brought by freshly-picked jasmine flowers, replacing the moisture with pure fragrance.

The jasmine tea "Scenting" techniques date back to the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127 AD), and is now a part of China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

• The Scenting Process: From daylight Bloom to midnight Blend 

  • Picking: Only picked after consecutive sunny days, these jasmine buds have lower moisture content and a more intense fragrance. 

  • Blend:  Once being picked in the afternoon while still in bud, the ready-to-blossom flowers are blended with the tea base as night falls. 

  • Slow-Baked: As dawn breaks, the tea is gently parted from the blossoms before being slow-baked to seal in the jasmines' essence.

• The Art of Scenting: Why 6 Rounds Matter

  • 1–2 Rounds: Superficial Fragrance The aroma clings only to the surface; while the dry tea smells pleasant, the flavor in the cup remains thin.

  • 3–4 Rounds: Flavor Infusion The floral essence begins to penetrate the heart of the leaf, achieving "Fragrance in the Water". Laboratory data shows a 20-30% increase in aroma concentration compared to lower rounds.

  • 5–6 Rounds: The Gold Standard of Fusion This is where the soul of the flower and the character of the tea merge into a deep, multidimensional experience with unparalleled persistence. 6-time scenting process (applied in this product) delivers a level of aromatic complexity and integration that lower-tier products simply cannot reach.
