Amsterdam Tea Room - Jasmine Golden Dragon

This green tea is made with particularly good organic jasmine – hence the moniker Gold Dragon, (gold means wealth, prosperity, money and dragon means long life and strength).  The jasmine tree comes into bloom only during May and June.  The blossom only lasts for about 12 hours and only comes out at night after the sun goes down.  About half way through the night, the fragrance is at it’s peak and it is at this time the blossoms need to be picked and layer into the tea. By the morning most of the fragrance has disappeared from the blossom, but if the tea maker has done his job correctly, this heavenly scent has been transferred to the tea and captured in time.  This process is carried out on 5 successive evenings to impart the superior flavour of specially selected tea and jasmine flowers.
