Story of Jasmine Flower Tea

How was Jasmine tea invented?

 

It is a touching story behind.

 

It is alleged that Jasmine flower tea relates to a tea merchant Gu Qiu Chen, who was a kind man.

 

One winter day, Chen invited a master to taste tea, discussing what tea does North people prefer. At this moment, Chen erupted to think that a girl in south china once send him a packet of tea.

 

Poured hot water into it, firstly came the fragrant smell, then mist coming out with an image of a beautiful girl holing a boutique of jasmine flowers, very soon the image became a mass of hot air.

 

Chen puzzled and consulted the tea guru who answered: “Brother Chen, you must do good things in the past. This is 'gratitude cents' which is the highest grade of tea. This was a legend in the tea history but I never saw with my eyes. Today, it broadened my vision. Who sent you this tea?”  

 

“Three years ago, I met a poor girl in South China whose father died and she did not have money to bury him. I was very sad, gave her some money and helped her to find her relatives.

This year, I visited her hometown again and met grandpa who was asked to send this packet of tea by that little girl.”

 

Guru nodded his head, and said: “to create this quality of tea will exhaust people’s energy. I am afraid you will never meet her again.” These two men lamented.

 

Then the master suddenly said: "Why did she only hold jasmine?"

They repeated brewing again, and that holding Jasmine girl came again. Guru enlightened: "In my opinion, this is the tea cents imply, Jasmine can be made as the tea."

The following year they put Jasmine added to the tea, and ​​a fragrance seductive jasmine tea, deeply is favorite by northerners.  From then on, it came as jasmine tea.

Purple clay is increasingly rare, because most remaining quarries are almost completely empty. Some Yixing potters admit they will have to close down in a few years, while others are holding out hope that an additional source will be found.

Legend has it that a god once visited the town of Yixing. Annoyed by the unpleasant taste of tea brewed with pots made of the common mud and amazed by the generosity of the sip le peasants there, he decided to give the town a mountain of purple clay to help the people and improve the quality of their tea. Since then, Yixing potters have held a monopoly on this resource and have made some of the most fantastic teapots in all of China.

But one thing all purple clay artisans have in common is the level of care and skill they put into every piece of pottery.

You've never seen such a cool design. The lid of the teapot, handles, and inner walls are made of green clay, and the outer surfaces are black with green cuts piercing the dark surface. Green clay and black clay are the rarest varieties of Yixing purple clay.

Notice its sandy surface, which indicates it is genuine purple clay. Touch the pieces, and it feels like touching the finest of sand.

Local Anecdote: Chinese legend says there was once a fairy who came down to earth and fell in love with a man. This violated the laws of heaven, so the man became very ill and was going to die. To save him, the fairy risked her life to return to heaven and steal a special Lingzhi. Some ancient Chinese believed a Lingzhi could bring the dying back to life.

But it doesn’t stop there, because this set is the perfect combination of beauty and function.

The absorbent walls of each piece retain some of the fragrance, flavor, and color of your tea. So the tea nourishes your items, and the more you use them, the more beautiful and lustrous they become. Tea stored inside also adds to every infusion, giving you a stronger taste each time.

As you enjoy that flavor, look at spout, button, and handle of your tea pot: they line up perfectly straight. This guarantees your tea pours smoothly out of the pot. And the tall, V-shaped lip on the uncovered recipient is very difficult to craft; only master potters can make it.

Delicate Chinese Teapot: Yixing Butterfly and Flower

[gallery172]

It is Chinese Yixing clay tea pot handmade in Yixing with the price of 172 US Dollars.

 

While marveling at the distinct beauty this tea pot has, one can smell directly the scrumptious scent of the tea getting more and more astringent and appeals to the senses. Once sipped, the taste is even more delicious than the usual. One may wonder why that happened.

 

No, it is not the additives and definitely not just the imagination. It is not because of the tea, or maybe the tea has something to do with it because from the very start it is the tea’s flavor and aroma that are heightened right. Anyway, to make the record straight, the secret lies in the very material where the tea stands on, the clay that is molded into a beautiful tea pot like this one.

The clay is more commonly known as Yixing purple clay. This clay has a

unique characteristic of having pores in it. The pores have a tremendous effect on the tea leaves, extracting the natural goodness of the tea and retaining some of it inside, so infusion after infusion brings out a whole, new and more delicious blend of tea.

 

This teapot is also excellent for holding in more warmth than the usual and keeps the drink fresh all day long, thanks to it jacket like effect on newly-brewed teas. So the next time one brews a pot of tea and forgets about it, worry not for the taste and aroma all 200 milliliters of it will still be as good as if it was taken right off the heating process.

The artist who made this pot took him/her months to complete. Skills and years of experience are two main ingredients to make this one. Each pot is hand made so even if the same potter makes another one of this kind, the result is a whole, new pot but with the same quality and beauty like this.

 

The artists use rare purple clay that can only be found in Yixing, China. Due to its functional marvel as a teapot, the clay has been mined and used for almost two millennia now. What is the result? Well, the result is an almost-exhausted source of clay. Historians say that once, the clay was limited for Imperial use only but it later became available for almost anyone.

 

So if an artist gets his/her hands on this clay, he/she does everything

to make it worthwhile, beautiful and functional. Only a master potter’s hands can transform a doughy material into a piece of art like this. Look and one will see closely that the handle, button and spout are aligned. Functionally, this makes pouring easier and drinking even better. No worries on the heat of the infusion though, it is contained by the dual covering of the pot. That is style and function all in one pot.

 

Who can not notice the wonderful hand painting of a flower and a butterfly on the belly of the pot? Depicting beauty ala nature at its very best captured in one unique teapot. In Chinese legends, a flower and a butterfly represent vitality, purity and beauty amidst the not-so enticing surroundings.

 

Having this teapot shows one’s love for beauty and quality without compromising one another. Be wary though for your friends may get envious of your possession and on your brand new realization with the Chinese culture.

And the lid itself fits perfectly onto the mouth of your wide-bodied pot. Because the lid sits flush on top, all the steam, aroma, and flavor of your tea is trapped inside for a perfect brew.

Also notice the large handle. It feels soft in your hand, and the broad curve makes a perfect ring, so it is very easy to grip.


From the handle, run your fingers across the top of the pot and down to the spout. See how the spout, duck’s head and handle are perfectly aligned with one another? This guarantees a straight, smooth pour every time.

Cultural note: Once two mandarin ducks fall in love, they will stay together for life. The Chinese see them as a symbol of devoted love. Some say Yixing clay is also a symbol of true love. Laymen and emperors alike have cherished teapots made of Yixing purple clay for centuries. Emperor Qianlong had quite the collection, and carved his calligraphy on them to express his admiration.

You must have noticed the appealing luster of this pot. This shows it is made of pure Yixing purple clay, which has been celebrated as one of the best materials for making teapots.


This clay is porous, so your tea gets absorbed and nourishes your teapot every time. The wonderful clay can even take in oils from your hands as you touch it, so the outer surface becomes even more beautiful and lustrous.


But this precious clay is in danger of running out nowadays, so much so that the Chinese government has taken steps to protect it.


Get the most out of your tea, and share your knowledge of an ancient Chinese tradition with friends!

Antique-Looked Chinese Tea Set: Dragon Totem

[gallery179]

 

A unique purple clay teapot is from Yixing, China and now it is only 193 US Dollars.

 

The very first tea set produced in the world originated from the very place where tea infusion was born. In the Yixing region of China (the only source of this unique material), purple clay, red clay or “zisha” was the main component in the aptly called Yixing tea sets.  Pot making began to rise during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279) but it flourished even further during the reign of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

However, before purple clay became a staple in tea pottery, tea was used to drink directly from drinking bowls after being brewed. The said clay was used in making jars, bowls and the like until it was later discovered as an ideal element in tea set making.

 

The Chinese tea set contains one tea pot and two teacups. The teapot can hold water up to 200 millimeters, equivalent to one drinking cup. On the other hand, the tea cups can accommodate 70 millimeters of water. The reason for the cups’ low water-holding capacity is to allow the drinkers to savor the hot brewed tea used in ceremonies and social gathering in ancient Chinese tradition.

The tea’s design is inspired by the ancient Chinese dragon cane. On the wares, the relief map of this antique cane was intricately pictured. The dragon symbolizes the masculine energy and fertility of an emperor and the emperor himself. In line with the tea session’s reputation as a form of a royalty event; the legendary creature encrypted in a king’s cane is the perfect design.

 

What are the distinct properties of this purple clay that it has captured the hearts of almost all tea potters in China and even influenced the porcelain-dominated tea ware in the West?

 

Apparently, the color of the clay commands immediate attraction and beauty. The double layering of the ware is designed effectively to not burn the delicate hand handling the set.The glazed outside part of the set enhances more the ware’s color. However, the inside is left uncoated so that the natural pores of the clay are not blocked and the flavor, aroma, smell and warmth of the tea being brewed remains.

Gradually, the teapots and cups become seasoned and the distinct flavor of the tea is absorbed for a long time. This unique property suggests that a set should be used for a certain type of tea so that there will be no mixing of the blends. Some of the teas that are best used with this set are black tea, flower tea, pu er tea, fruit tea, and so on.

 

The ingenuity of Chinese people and the help of Taiwanese technicians, the product is made to meet the above standards required by the European Union, American Food and drug Administration and the Switzerland SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) which are three of the world’s most organized teams in product inspection.

 

Literally, the set means “to go as you wish” or “all wishes come true”. There is some truth behind it. From just being a local product, it has spread now to the rest of the world not in its primitive form but in a 280-by-180-by-120 box with a design that tells a story of culture, history and quality. The manufacturers get more than what they wished for.
