In addition to that, the better the jasmine tea is rather the less jasmine dried flowers. This is one of the manifestations of the highest level of craftsmanship. All the flower flavor has been absorbed by the green tea. To summarize
1. The best jasmine tea is loose leaf tea.
2. The best jasmine tea is the one with the higher number of Scenting.
3. The best jasmine tea is the one without dried jasmine flowers.
What is Scenting in the making of Jasmine Tea?

The higher the scenting level, the longer the crafting time, resulting in a premium-quality tea. The 9-session scenting, in particular, produces an exceptionally rich and nuanced bouquet, making it a superior choice.
The Chinese Jasmine Tea Sampler we offer is a very good illustration of the difference between the different Jasmine Teas that Scenting counts. If you are new to tea, don't miss out on this great product for getting started!
