Grading Jasmine Tea: A Guide to Choosing the Best
Summary:
Jasmine tea is the world's most popular flavored tea, originally created in China using green tea. Nowadays, jasmine flowers are used to enhance teas worldwide, including black, white, green, and oolong varieties. The unique combination of high-quality loose tea leaves and jasmine petals gives jasmine tea its aromatic fragrance and slightly sweet flavor.
The Art of Jasmine Scenting
For over 700 years, jasmine tea has been a staple in China. Traditionally, jasmine flowers are picked just as they begin to open in the morning and combined with tea leaves in the evening to maximize their fragrance. Modern methods are more automated, but premium jasmine teas still rely on high-quality leaves and the right amount of jasmine blossoms.
Choosing Quality Jasmine Tea
With various options available, selecting a high-quality jasmine tea can be challenging due to different grading systems across countries and tea types.
Black Tea Grading
Black tea is primarily graded on its processing method, which indicates the percentage of whole leaves and the plucking season. In the US, top-tier black teas are known as Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. It's best to avoid teas labeled as "dust," as they represent the lowest quality.
Green Tea Grading
In China, green tea is graded by leaf shape. Other regions may have different naming conventions for similar shapes. Within these shapes, further grading helps determine quality.
Oolong Tea Grading
Chinese oolong tea uses straightforward grading terms: "Fanciest" or "Extra Fancy" for the best, and "Common" for the lowest. If sourced elsewhere, grading systems may differ.
White Tea Grading
White teas are simpler to grade since all are from the first plucking of the season. In China, high-quality white jasmine teas include Silver Needles or White Peony. A white Ceylon or Darjeeling jasmine tea will have its unique grading system.
Selecting Your Jasmine Tea
Start by deciding whether you prefer white, green, black, or oolong jasmine tea. If you're new to jasmine tea, try a Chinese green jasmine tea for a classic experience. After choosing the variety and origin, purchase from a reputable tea purveyor to ensure quality. If your preferred combination is unavailable, keep searching for the best fit.
Jasmine tea's soothing scent and subtle sweetness make it a beloved choice worldwide. With so many varieties, enjoy the journey of discovering which jasmine tea you love best!
