In China, whole leaf green teas are traditionally scented with Jasmine flower petals layered within the tea leaves. The petals are harvested during the day and stored cool at night in order to bloom and unfold their full fragrance. According to the desired quality grades, the petals are sifted out after processing. For this reason, teas vary from light to stronger delicate floral flavors and tastes. The cup has a light, slightly yellow color and already spreads the intense aroma of jasmine.
