Lapsangstore Premium Jasmine Black Tea 50 g
Description
The black tea leaves are meticulously plucked as "one bud with two leaves" from high-quality ecological tea gardens in Wuyi Mountain. After undergoing traditional black tea processing steps—withering, rolling, and fermentation—the tea base is scented with mid-summer "Fu Hua" (peak-season jasmine blossoms) handpicked on sunny days in Hengxian County, Guangxi (China’s "Jasmine Capital"). Through four rounds of traditional scenting plus one final aroma-enhancing process (a recognized intangible cultural heritage technique), each scenting cycle lasts over 12 hours under controlled low-temperature conditions. This allows the black tea’s mellow honeyed notes to deeply intertwine with jasmine’s fresh floral essence, achieving a sensory profile that is "fragrant without being superficial, fresh without any muddiness".

What is Jasmine Black Tea?
This tea is a combination of Wuyi high mountain black tea and Guangxi jasmine flowers, hence the name "Jasmine Black Tea".
The tea raw materials come from high mountain tea trees in the core area of Wuyi Mountain National Reserve, the birthplace of black tea in the world and a world cultural and natural heritage site, and are made using the innovative process of Jun Mei black tea. It is made from jasmine flowers that bloom in Guangxi Province with a unique cellar technique that lets tea absorb the aroma of flowers.
Do you know Jasmine tea?
Traditional jasmine tea is crafted by scenting green tea with jasmine blossoms. Today, we've pioneered a bold experiment: merging the Junmei black tea technique with jasmine.
Creating jasmine-black tea presented extraordinary challenges. To perfect this fusion, our masters conducted relentless trials—fine-tuning tea-to-jasmine ratios and testing from one to eight scentings. Too few scentings muted the floral notes; too many overpowered the tea.
Through four meticulous scentings and one final drying, we achieved harmony: the tea’s refreshing sweetness elegantly embraces the flower’s fresh floral aroma.
What is the production process?
Tea embryo processing: In the past, jasmine tea was made using green tea as the base, but nowadays, white tea, black tea, and oolong tea are also very common but compared to green tea, other teas are more difficult to absorb the fragrance and more difficult to make.
This is mainly because of the limitations of both the tea and the process: black tea is not easy to absorb the fragrance and requires a larger amount of jasmine flowers and a longer manuring time when making. However, if the process is not well worked, black tea may become sour after a long time. The difficulty factor is 2-3 times that of jasmine green tea; in addition, the tea embryo of jasmine black tea must be light and sweet black tea, the traditional black tea is thick, red, and bitter, and the Jun Mei&nb
