Jasmine YinYa Green Tea is a high-end premium scented green tea, widely cherished for its exquisite appearance, pure floral aroma and delicate taste. It originates from China’s major tea-producing regions and adopts traditional jasmine scenting craftsmanship, ranking among the finest jasmine teas.
Raw Materials & Production
This tea is exclusively made of single tender tea buds picked in early spring. The buds are plump, full and covered with dense silvery white down, which gives the tea its name “Yin Ya”. After meticulous withering, fixation and rolling, the base tea is ready for scenting.
We use fresh natural jasmine blossoms and conduct multiple rounds of layered scenting. The tea fully absorbs the floral essence overnight, and the spent flowers are sifted out afterwards. The whole process uses no artificial essences, pigments or additives, retaining the original pure fragrance of jasmine and fresh tea notes.
