Changsha Jasmine Tea

Changsha Jasmine Tea

　　Changsha Maojian Jasmine Tea has a unique flavor, with tightly rolled leaves, rich and mellow tea taste, fresh and vibrant floral aroma that is pure and long-lasting. After brewing, the liquor is bright yellow-green, the leaves are tender and even, and it can withstand multiple infusions. It leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth, making it a standout among floral teas. Changsha has a long history of producing both tea and jasmine flowers. The Ming Dynasty's *Changsha Prefecture Records* from the Jiajing era noted "among miscellaneous goods, there is tea, (tribute) with sixty-two jin of tea buds submitted annually"; the Qing Dynasty's *Changsha County Records* from the Jiaqing era also recorded "jasmine blooms white in summer, delicate and fragrant." Changsha Tea Factory uses its own processed Maojian tea combined with pure white, plump jasmine blossoms, and employs traditional hand-scented processing techniques to produce the Monkey King brand Maojian Jasmine Tea. It was designated as a gift for outbound personnel from Hunan Province and as the tea served to foreign guests at Beijing’s Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. (Changsha)
