A little more about Jasmine beads
First a song
A lyric from the popular Chinese folk song, surprisingly titled 'Jasmine Flower', dating back to the Qianlong Emperor (1735-1796) during the Qing Dynasty when jasmine tea became widespread throughout China. However, its availability or popularity took its time to grow as it is believed that the jasmine plant was introduced to China from South Asia via India during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), especially the city of Fuzhou, which is famous. for its cultivation of jasmine and tea.
The "where are the jasmine flowers" method
There are two main methods for scented tea with jasmine. One method, the tea and flowers are placed in alternating layers after the flowers are removed. The other, the tea is mixed with the flowers and left to absorb for around four hours before being removed, leaving only their scent behind. This process can be repeated up to seven times! Once the jasmine scent is absorbed, the tea becomes moist and needs to be dried again.
