May Birth Tea
Birth Tea
Jasmine Tea
Jasmine tea is a representative floral tea with over a thousand years of history in China. The production method, believed to have begun during the Song Dynasty, involves layering freshly picked jasmine flowers with tea leaves during nighttime when the leaves most efficiently absorb the floral fragrance. This process, called 'scenting,' is repeated seven or more times for premium grades. Selected as May's birth tea, jasmine tea is perfectly suited for the month of family. During this time when Mother's Day and Children's Day converge, jasmine's elegant and embracing aroma deepens family bonds and promotes intergenerational exchanges of love. The jasmine flower's nature of blooming at night symbolizes the gathering time when families come together at day's end, its fragrance gently healing weary hearts.
