Learn about Jasmine Tea
Jasmine tea is usually prepared by placing the leaf directly in to a
covered porcelain cup or other kinds of cup/mug with a lid in order to
keep its aroma. Most jasmine teas can be infused multiple times making
them very convenient and cost effective. When enjoying jasmine tea, one
can smell not only the fragrance of the tea liquor, but also the
fragrance on the lid.
Known all over the world for its fragrant scent, common jasmine has been
cultivated for at least 2000 years. Originating somewhere in Asia,
jasmine was most likely one of the first plants to be cultivated
specifically for its perfume. The flower was popular in India, China and Persia (modern-day Iran),
slowly becoming popular in Europe in the 15th and 16th century.
Today, jasmine is still a popular ingredient in perfumes, soaps and other
cosmetics for its soothing and pleasing scent.
Jasmine tea, served whether cold or hot, is a refreshing and aromatic
drink that can be enjoyed in any season. There are many ways to enjoy
it- You can drink it plain with a few spoons of sugar or, what I prefer,
mixed with a dense matcha foam on top.
