JASMINE BAI HAO | SCENTED GREEN

JASMINE BAI HAO is an early spring-plucked, “bai hao” style green tea scented with Heng county jasmine blossoms. Produced with biodynamic large varietal leaves and rolled into semi-pearls. Layered with floral and wine grape qualities. Our 2024 JASMINE BAI HAO hails from Guangxi province, China, a tea growing region known for heicha ("dark tea"). The province is also home to Heng county, famed for its jasmine flower production. Our project tea producer at Long Kou tea farm (an unusually skilled green tea maker) leverages the fertile soils of north-central Liuzhou and the high fragrance flowers from neighboring Heng in his annual production of our house jasmine. The base tea is harvested in early spring (pre-Qing Ming) at a loose 1:4 (1 bud : 4 leaves) plucking standard, fixed, machine-disrupted into semi-pearls, and after the summer jasmine harvest, scented in 6 rounds. Our take on this Fujian classic is produced in small lots with the intention of selling out by next harvest. Mingfu, t
