Jasmine Jade Butterfly which is also know as Jasmine Butterfly in Love. This is a lovely green tea from southern China. It gets its name from its delicate butterfly shape, made from tea leaves woven together in two bows. The leaves that go into Jasmine Butterfly in Love come from the very top of the plant. Just the leaf bud and very young leaves are picked, and are then processed to make green tea. Jasmine Butterfly in Love looks as delightful as it sounds: a beautiful golden liquor with a transparent shimmer on the surface. And it tastes absolutely sublime, with a heady, floral aroma and character that floats just above the refreshing green tea base. Processing of Jasmine Jade Butterfly The leaves that go into Jasmine Jade Butterfly come from the very top of the plant. Just the leaf bud and very young leaves are picked, and are then processed to make green tea. Green teas are made from leaves that have not been allowed to oxidise - when the enzymes in them react with oxygen, causing them to turn brown and become black teas. To make green tea, fresh tea leaves must be heated, either in a large wok or by steaming, to kill the enzymes that cause oxidation. This keeps them green in colour. Jasmine Jade Butterfly is made from steamed leaves, but it's the next stage that's really tricky. While the leaves are still supple, the tea producer makes them into a delicate bow. Then another little jasmine leaf bow is wrapped around the middle to form a butterfly. This lovely shape isn't just for appearance, but creates a beautiful tea, skilfully handcrafted to combine the best green tea leaves with a gentle infusion of jasmine. Brewing of Jasmine Jade Butterfly Add around 3-4 balls to strainer in hot water, or directly into cup, steep for 3-4 minutes with the cup covered, balls will uncurl over time. The strength is directly related to the length that they're left in hot water. It can be quite strong, so be careful not to leave them in there too long. Reuse up to three times.Jade Butterfly #1
