China Jasmine With Blossoms – The Goddess’ Tea
The word jasmine, derived from Persian, means a gift from God.
We deeply respect Persian culture, but at Piag, we can’t help ourselves—we love to twist things, stir things up, and add a touch of mischief. 😉 Here at Piag, we honor matriarchy, so we like to think of jasmine not as a “gift from God,” but as a “gift from the Goddess.”
In China, the goddess of tea was Guanyin. In Slavic mythology, we have our own: Mokosh and Dziewanna—both symbols of nature’s power and creativity.So when you sip China Jasmine With Blossoms, think of one of them. With each sip, give thanks to Mother Nature for her gifts—gifts that human creativity and dedication transform into wonders like this tea.

The Making of Jasmine Green Tea
There are several methods of producing jasmine green tea, but the most traditional and highly regarded method includes the following steps:
Tea cultivation:
The green tea used for jasmine tea is typically grown in the high mountain regions of China, where the cool climate and high humidity create ideal conditions. The leaves are hand-picked several times a year, most valued being the early spring harvest, when the leaves are young and tender.
Harvesting jasmine flowers:
The blossoms are hand-picked at night, when they are in full bloom and release their most intense fragrance. Depending on the jasmine variety, the harvest takes place several times a year.
The scenting process:
· Layering method: Tea leaves and jasmine blossoms are layered alternately in special containers. The flowers release their fragrance, which permeates the tea. This process is repeated several times until the desired level of aroma is achieved.
· Drying method: The jasmine blossoms are dried and later blended with tea leaves.
· Extraction method: Essential oil is extracted from jasmine flowers and added to the tea.
Drying the tea:
Once scented, the tea leaves are dried in special ovens. Drying halts fermentation and helps preserve the freshness and fragrance of the tea.
Packaging and storage:
Finally, the tea is sealed in airtight containers to protect it from air and moisture. Jasmine tea should always be stored in a cool, dark place.
Traditional jasmine green tea production is time-consuming and labor-intensive—but it results in a tea of extraordinary taste and aroma.

The Legend of the Moon Blossom Tea
In the times of ancient Chinese emperors, in the misty land of Longjing, lived a young woman named Mei. She was renowned for her beauty—delicate as a cherry blossom—and her kindness, pure as a mountain stream.
One moonlit night, while strolling through the imperial gardens, Mei discovered a radiant bush glittering with stars—it was a jasmine plant, blooming only under the light of the moon. The fragrance was so intoxicating that Mei longed to share it with the emperor. But how could she capture something so fleeting? In despair, she fell asleep beneath the jasmine bush. In her dream, the Moon Goddess appeared and whispered:
“Gather the petals at dawn, when they are still wet with moonlit dew. Combine them with tender tea leaves, and you will create a drink so divine it will enchant even the emperor.”
Upon waking, Mei did exactly as the goddess instructed. She brewed the tea for the emperor, and with the very first sip, his face lit up with delight. The sweet aroma of jasmine intertwined with the gentle bitterness of green tea, creating perfect harmony. The emperor named it “Moon Blossom Tea” and appointed Mei the chief tea mistress of his court. From that moment, the “Moon Blossom Tea”—known today as China Jasmine With Blossoms—became a symbol of imperial elegance and sensuality. Legend says that each sip carries the drinker back to that magical night under the moonlit jasmine, where peace and harmony can be found.
