JASMINE TEA
Jasmine tea is an aromatic infusion that is believed to have been created in the Song Dynasty in China, around the year 1000. The reality is that history is not clear about it, the only thing we can assure is that it is about a very popular scented tea in the eastern country and with more and more followers in the West.
The jasmine plant, Jasminum officinale , is actually a shrub of Asian origin that grows mainly in the mountains of India and China. Its flower has become famous for its pleasant aroma and also as a seasoning for various dishes, such as Pad Thai or jasmine rice.
It is an extremely soft and delicate tea, without any trace of astringency. It is sweet and perfumed, with a subtle but elaborate taste that will delight the most demanding palates.
Preparation: Serve one or two teaspoons in the filter. Being a green tea, it is recommended to let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes with water at 80 to 85º, otherwise the tea will oxidize and end up with a bitter taste.
To take it according to tradition, sugar should not be added, but tastes have changed since then and you can sweeten it with honey, sweetener and other sweeteners to taste.
