The Legend of the Night-Blooming Jasmine: A Story of Patience

Centuries ago in the Fujian province of China, tea masters discovered a magical synergy between the humble green tea leaf and the delicate jasmine flower. They observed that jasmine blooms only at night, releasing its most potent fragrance in the cool, still air. To capture this elusive scent, a meticulous process was born: traditional tea scenting, or “Xun Hua”.

Our Jasmine Yin Zhen King Tea follows this ancient ritual with reverence. The story begins in late summer, when the finest “Yin Zhen” (Silver Needle) green tea buds are harvested and gently processed to preserve their delicate form. Simultaneously, in nearby jasmine fields, buds are carefully picked just as they begin to swell, destined to bloom that very night. As dusk falls, the tea leaves are spread in cool, clean rooms. At the peak of their nocturnal fragrance, the jasmine blossoms are layered over the tea. Through the night, the warm tea leaves absorb the essential oils and soul of the cooling flowers. By dawn, the spent blossoms are removed. This process is not done once, but repeated over seven consecutive nights with fresh flowers each time. This legendary “Seven-Scenting” method is what gives our yin zhen mo li tea its unparalleled depth and lasting aroma—a fragrance earned through a week of nightly marriages between leaf and flower.

Why Our Yin Zhen King Reigns Supreme

1. The King of Aroma: The core of this scented green tea 250g offering is its phenomenal scent. The seven-scenting process ensures the fragrance is not merely surface-level but infused into the very fiber of the tea leaf. Upon brewing, the steam carries an intensely sweet, floral bouquet that fills your space with calm.

2. A Visual and Taste Masterpiece: The dry leaves are a work of art—neat, slender silver needles adorned with white jasmine petals. The liquor brews to a pale, luminous gold. The taste is smooth, sweet, and clean, with no astringency, allowing the pure jasmine flavor to shine without the bitterness found in lower-grade jasmine teas.

3. Remarkable Value & Durability: Packaged in a substantial 250g elegant canister, this tea offers exceptional value. The high-quality leaves can be reinfused multiple times (5-7 steeps is common), with each steep revealing a nuanced layer of the jasmine fragrance, making it a lasting treasure in your tea collection.

4. A Ritual of Calm: The act of preparing this tea is a mindfulness practice. From listening to the leaves fall into the pot, to inhaling the first burst of steam, brewing Jasmine Yin Zhen King Tea is a deliberate pause, a sensory retreat from the day’s rush.

The Art of Brewing Your Jasmine Silver Needle

To fully honor the craftsmanship in your Jasmine Yin Zhen King Tea, we recommend the Gongfu style for maximum aroma extraction, though a simple cup method also yields beautiful results.

Gongfu Method (Ideal):

1. Vessel: Use a gaiwan or small porcelain teapot (approx. 150ml).

2. Water: Pure, filtered water heated to 80-85°C (176-185°F). Never use boiling water, as it will scald the delicate leaves and flowers.

3. Leaf: Use 3-5 grams of tea (about a teaspoon).

4. Rinse (Optional): Quickly pour water over the leaves and discard immediately. This “awakens” the leaves and prepares them for brewing.

5. First Infusion: Steep for 20-30 seconds, then pour completely into a sharing pitcher or cup.

6. Subsequent Infusions: Gradually increase steeping time by 10-15 seconds for each next brew. Enjoy 5-7 flavorful infusions.

Western Cup Method (Simple):

1. Vessel: A large mug or cup.

2. Leaf: Use 2-3 grams of tea.

3. Steep: Add 80-85°C water and steep for 2-3 minutes. Remove the leaves to prevent over-steeping.

Iced Tea Method: This tea makes exceptional iced tea. Use double the amount of leaves in a pitcher with cold water and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Strain and serve over ice for a refreshing, fragrant summer drink.

Technical Details: The Yin Zhen King Process

• Scenting Flower: Jasminum sambac (Arabian jasmine), specifically the “Hua Long” variety known for its intense, sweet fragrance.

• Scenting Cycles: 7 traditional scenting cycles over 7 nights. This intensive labor is what defines a top-tier jasmine silver needle tea.
