China Jasmin Congou is one of the most popular flavored green teas from China – and has been for many centuries.

Its harmonious interplay of high-quality green tea and naturally fragrant jasmine blossoms makes it an extraordinary taste experience that delights both tea connoisseurs and beginners. Its aroma is intense yet elegant, its color delicate, clear, and fresh. This combination is precisely what gives China Jasmin Congou a special place in Chinese tea culture and makes it appreciated worldwide for its fragrant lightness.

The basis of this tea is carefully processed green leaf tea, traditionally produced to retain its natural, slightly vegetal character. During drying, the tea is repeatedly infused with fresh jasmine blossoms, which release their fragrance into the leaves. This process is complex, requires a lot of experience, and makes Jasmin Congou one of the finest representatives of its category. The result is a tea that combines gentle sweetness, floral elegance, and a fine, fresh clarity.

Origin & Traditional Production

Jasmin Congou originates from regions where jasmine tea has a centuries-old tradition. The provinces of Fujian and Guangxi are particularly famous, having been centers of jasmine cultivation since the Song Dynasty. Here, the blossoms are picked early in the morning when they are still closed. Only in the evening, when they open, does the fragrance release begin – the moment they are mixed with the tea. This process can be repeated several times, allowing the tea to gradually acquire its intense, unmistakable jasmine aroma.

The special quality of Jasmin Congou comes from the traditional scenting method, where the tea is not artificially flavored but scented exclusively with real blossoms. This keeps the taste clear, soft, and natural, without artificial harshness or bitterness. The tea impresses with a fine balance between floral fragrance and gentle green tea freshness, which makes it particularly harmonious.

Preparation of China Jasmin Congou

For the ideal cup of Jasmin Congou, we recommend the traditional preparation:

Steep 11 grams of tea with one liter of water that has been brought to a rolling boil and then allowed to cool for four minutes (approx. 80°C). Let the infusion steep for 2 minutes. The cup color should appear delicate green and clear.

Green tea develops its aroma particularly well at a moderate temperature – which is why it's important to let the water cool briefly. Jasmin Congou is perfect for multiple infusions. Even the second and third infusions show a fine, gentle variation of the jasmine aroma.

Special Characteristics

China Jasmin Congou stands out from simple flavored teas due to its natural scenting process. Its quality is evident not only in the taste but also in the smell of the dry leaves, which possess a warm, floral bouquet. The brilliant delicate green color, the harmonious combination of green tea and jasmine, and its pure, natural production make it an ideal tea for moments of peace, relaxation, and mindfulness.

Usage Ideas & Moments of Pleasure

The tea is versatile and excellent for:

– Tea ceremonies & mindful breaks
– Meditation & wellness mindful rituals
– Afternoon moments of enjoyment
– Iced tea with a jasmine note in summer
– Culinary experiments (e.g., flavored cream, tea jellies)
– Accompaniment to mild dishes, rice dishes, or sushi

Jasmin Congou is particularly popular as a gentle accompaniment to Asian dishes. The delicate jasmine blossom supports light flavors without dominating. In summer, it can be wonderfully prepared as a cold brew – with a naturally sweet jasmine note that requires no sugar.
