This tea is light, delicate, slightly sweet and every cup comes with a distinctive fresh jasmine fragrance. Jasmine tea is readily available in Chinese markets, and it can often be obtained from big grocery stores or specialty tea shops as well. Many people may be familiar with jasmine tea because it is a frequent offering at Chinese restaurants.</p> <p>The jasmine flowers are harvested during the day and stored in a cool place until night. During the night, the flowers bloom with full fragrance. The flowers are layered over the tea leaves during the scenting process. The quality of jasmine tea is determined by the quality of green tea used as its base and the effectiveness of the scenting.</p> <p>Zui Chun Hao Jasmine Tea is one of product lines by Xiamen Sumgo Tea Co.

An agency of the Chinese is setting up standards for Chinese tea, but I think these standards will not be very meaningful to the average consumer. There are books in Chinese that discuss the characteristics of the better known teas, but these books are pretty thick. Some teas, Longjing for example, could take up 10 or 15 pages. There are over 50,000 producers in China. There is an old Chinese saying that says, 'you can study tea for a lifetime and not learn all of the names. Different teas have completely different criteria for quality, and even still, there may be disputes between tea masters. Even the grading system for black tea, even though there is one, is not an honest indicator of what you are buying. Tea is a very subjective substance and has resisted tenaciously being turned into a commodity.<br /> Austin </p> http://www.sevencups.com/forum/topic/10#post-29 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 04:56:19 +0000 andrew 29@http://www.sevencups.com/forum/ <p>What qualities should a good tea exhibit? What distinguishes one grade tea from another? Many black tea producers utilize India’s “alphabet soup” nomenclature as a uniform grading system for their products; is there a similar grading system in Chinese tea production? </p>
