Jasmine Loose Tea
Many people consider the Yunnan Province of Southeast China to be the birthplace of tea. Many of today's top Chinese brews get their names from the regions in which they're grown. The most popular growing regions include Gansu, Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian. According to the Chinese Tea Culture Research Center, the 10 most famous teas are:
- Dragon Well (green)
- Green Snail Spring (green)
- Fur Peak (green)
- Monkey King (green)
- Melon Seed (green)
- Fur Tip (green)
- Keemun (black)
- Silver Needle (white)
- Wuyi Rock (Oolong)
- Iron Goddess of Mercy (Oolong)
Blends from China include green, black, white, Oolong, compressed and floral. These blends are known for helping to aid in appetite suppression. The leaves contain tannins, which work to reduce inflammation and detoxify the blood. Many people who have tried to quit smoking turn to Chinese brews to flush the nicotine out of the system.
Sample a Floral Chinese Tea
If you're looking for an affordable Chinese blend with a hint of floral flavor, the Jasmine Dragon Pearl is a popular green choice. The loose leaves are hand rolled and formed into pellets. These pellets unroll during the steeping process, releasing a fragrant aroma. Since it's made from green tea, Dragon Pearl is known for its potent antioxidants, which boost the immune system, improve circulation and prevent tooth decay. Jasmine has long been used in aromatherapy to reduce stress and sedate stressed out individuals.
