The province is also home to Heng county, famed for its jasmine flower production. Hugo's project tea producer at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hugotea.com\/pages\/guangxi-long-kou-farm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLong Kou tea\u003c\/a\u003e farm (an unusually skilled green tea maker) leverages the fertile soils of north-central Liuzhou and the high fragrance flowers from neighboring Heng in his annual production of our house jasmine. The base tea is harvested in early spring (pre-Qing Ming) at a loose 1:4 (1 bud : 4 leaves) plucking standard, fixed, machine-disrupted into semi-pearls, and after the summer jasmine harvest, scented in 6 rounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo Tea's take on this Fujian classic is produced in small lots with the intention of selling out by next harvest. Mingfu, the producer and Hugo's on-site liaison, takes his jasmine production very seriously—he's as much a connoisseur of fine wine as tea, and understands the value of a well-rounded bouquet that elevates the base tea (rather than masks it). Unusual in scented tea, this lot is rich with cha qi—Mingfu's low-intervention, middle-aged, da ye cultivar trees pack a punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve a thorough but balanced scenting, hundreds of hand-plucked jasmine flowers mingle with the base tea overnight, are sorted and removed by hand, and the process repeated 6 times before being packed at origin. Pour water on and off immediately through the first half of a small format session, and keep large format steeps between 1-2 minutes—for both, use cooler water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo Tea sources their green teas fresh each year at harvest. But like all green teas, this lot will begin to \"stale\" after 1 year. This process is greatly stunted by proper storage (their bulk bags are ziptop) and refrigeration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e white flowers | riesling grapes | soft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage —\u003c\/strong\u003e spring '25\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle —\u003c\/strong\u003e rolled and scented bai hao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar(s) —\u003c\/strong\u003e da ye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion —\u003c\/strong\u003e liuzhou, guangxi, china\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocale —\u003c\/strong\u003e long kou (龙口—\"dragon mouth\") tea farm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation —\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 meters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer —\u003c\/strong\u003e mingfu lei\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNomenclature — \u003c\/strong\u003ejasmine (茉莉花) | bai hao (白毫) \"white tip\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugo Tea","offers":[{"title":"100ct Sachet","offer_id":52434196234553,"sku":"B-GJBG","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Loose 300g","offer_id":52434196267321,"sku":"B-GJB-300","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/jasminedrycropped.jpg?v=1776716315","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/w-jasmine-bai-hao-scented-green","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
