Mr. Gao of Lin Cang, Yunnan, harvested this local big leaf type cultivar, cured it for 3 months, and baked it with jasmine petals after the jasmine harvest in August/September. Gao has done an impeccable job of “Chu Hua”, where the tea is separated from the petals after baking. This jasmine is a great example of a properly scented tea where the terroir of the tea leaves are allowed to shine through.
