Tea: Story of the Leaf | ep19

Making a cup of exquisite jasmine tea requires repeatedly a nine-time process of scenting.
The scenting process commences with the meticulous blending of the tea leaves and fresh jasmine in precise proportions so that each tea leaf can fully absorb the essence of the flowers. The process usually lasts all night, during which time tea makers turn the flower-leaf mixture at regular intervals so that the tea leaves can evenly absorb the moisture and aroma of the jasmine. As the jasmine flowers gradually lose their moisture and begin to wilt, they would be separated from the tea leaves with a fine mesh sieve. Finally, the tea would be dried, marking the successful completion of a one-time scenting cycle.
The craftsmanship not only shows the wisdom and skills of tea makers but also gives jasmine tea a unique and captivating flavor.
