A special Jasmine tea, fragrant and mild. Hand-dried in a wok, the flat leaf is very distinctive, and enhanced with young, white downy buds. Known in
China as ‘Xuelong’, this tea is grown in
Taishun County, an ideal tea growing region near the
Fujian border. An elegant, multi-layered, sweet, nut-like bouquet.
Fujian province in south-eastern China lies across the sea from Taiwan (in fact some parts of Fujian are administered by Taiwan, and Taiwan used to be a part of Fujian) and is home to 35 million people. Fujian is a mountainous province, which has made Fujian isolated throughout its history, particularly bordered by the Wuyi mountains to the north (Mount Wuyi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Fujian has a subtropical climate, with an average annual temperature of 18 degrees. [GSO162]
