Xiuqiu Jasmine Tea

Xiuqiu Jasmine Tea is made from delicate, young green tea leaves that are then rolled into small pearls. Then, it is combined with fresh jasmine flowers so that each pearl has a wonderful jasmine aroma. After a few moments of steeping, the pearls begin to open, like long thin green fingers opening from a fist and the tea becomes a light golden yellow color. A strong, sweet floral aroma hints at the strong, smooth floral flavor and the faintly sweet aftertaste.

The water used to steep this tea should be about 175°F or 80°C. As a general guideline, use about 1.5 tablespoons (2 grams) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 milliliters) of water. A steeping time of about 3 minutes is recommended with more or less time depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the higher the temperature of the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. The leaves may be steeped multiple times.
