Avantcha Jasmine Mao Jian
The jasmine flowers are placed on the tea overnight and when they open, the tea develops a fragrant flavour. This ancient process is repeated up to 6 times, infusing the tea leaves with the finest flavours. The green Mao Jian with jasmine is characterised by a fresh, delicate and subtly tart flavour. This tea variety is also known as Mao Jian or "Downy Tip" due to the small hairs on the young leaves, which are a sign of the highest quality. Our Jasmine Mao Jian green tea is a masterly delicacy.
Mao Jian means "hair tips" - Like all Chinese green teas, the tea leaves for Mao Jian are harvested in the first days of April. To achieve its special fineness, only the first and second leaves of a young shoot are picked by hand for this green tea. In China, tea has always been flavoured with fragrances and this is a very popular method. In addition to freshly picked jasmine blossoms, magnolia, rose or lotus blossoms are also used. The classic production method involves hand-picking and withering the leaves. As green tea is usually harvested in spring and the jasmine flowers only bloom in summer, the partially dried tea must be stored in a cool, dark place for several weeks. As soon as the jasmine flowers are available, the flower buds are collected and blended with the tea leaves.
This type of tea was developed in Henan province at the beginning of the 20th century. The tea masters from Henan travelled to Hangzhou and learned the production methods for green tea from the masters at Westlake. In contrast to Long Jing tea, Mao Jian is not pressed after pan heating but briefly rolled. However, the raw material for both varieties is of a similarly high quality.
Green tea has a revitalising and positive effect. The health benefits of tea have been known for a long time: The tannins it contains soothe the stomach and intestines, the antibacterial effect of green tea helps prevent tooth decay, and it regulates blood pressure.
