Loose Jasmine green tea origin

The best Chinese jasmine green teas are produced in the province of Fujian. The jasmine flowers are grown at high elevations in the mountains in the east and north part of the province. When making the Imperial Jasmine green tea, the leaves is carefully layered with fresh blooms, which will open and release their scents to the tea. In the morning, the flowers are removed and the process is repeated again that evening. This happens several nights in a row, until the tea master has the aroma balanced just right.
