Representative products and their features
| Product or collection | What distinguishes it |
|---|---|
| Longhao jasmine tea · 龙毫 | A signature product. The brand’s October 2025 official post describes pre-Qingming green tea and eight rounds of jasmine scenting. This statement refers to that named product. |
| Gold and Silver collections · 金银系列 | The flagship store groups these products into bagged and canned formats, making packaging and pack size useful comparison points. |
| Yanjing Four Seasons · 燕京四季 | A jasmine-tea gift collection presented by the brand around the changing seasons of Beijing. |
| Lianhua Xiangxue · 莲花香雪 | The official brand account highlights both jasmine aroma and visible flower form in this product. |

For a first purchase, choose the tea style you actually enjoy, then compare the individual product’s specification, pack size and price. A brand’s broad catalogue can contain quite different teas; the product label is the best place to check the exact ingredients and origin.
How jasmine scenting shapes the tea
Jasmine tea is made by bringing tea and fresh jasmine flowers together so that the leaves absorb the floral aroma. The national intangible-cultural-heritage record describes Zhang Yi Yuan’s traditional method using spring, baked green tea from Fujian. Its listed tea-base preparation includes withering, fixation, rolling and baking, followed by the scenting work.
The craft is recorded in the national heritage list as “Jasmine Tea Production Techniques of Zhang Yi Yuan,” announced in the second batch in 2008. Beijing Zhang Yi Yuan Tea Co., Ltd. is named as its protection organization. This recognition concerns a production tradition; individual products still have their own ingredients and specifications.
From a Beijing tea shop to a modern company
The Ministry of Commerce’s brand museum traces the business to founder Zhang Changyi and its first shop in 1900. The modern company history is separate: the flagship store’s introduction records a company established in 1992 and restructured in 1999. It also identifies a Fujian production base established in 1994.
How to choose a Zhang Yi Yuan jasmine tea
Choose the specific tea and pack size before comparing brand names or gift boxes. A collection name alone does not tell you the ingredients, quantity or suitability for your needs.
- Read the ingredients. Check the actual product label. Sandao’s Longhao 100g listing records baked green tea, jasmine flowers and white magnolia flowers; other products may have different ingredients.
- Compare equivalent quantities. Check both the total price and cost per 100g. Distinguish tea weight from tins and gift packaging.
- Check freshness and storage. Read the production date and storage instructions. Keep opened tea sealed, dry and away from strong odors.
- Match the pack to the occasion. For home use, prioritize the tea and a quantity you can finish. For a gift, also check the presentation, number of tins and delivery arrangements.
Zhang Yi Yuan: common questions
Is Zhang Yi Yuan only a jasmine-tea brand?
Jasmine tea is its best-known specialty, but its catalogue also includes other Chinese teas. Check each product’s category and ingredients.
Is its jasmine tea caffeine-free?
The Longhao tea linked above has a green-tea base and contains caffeine. Floral aroma does not make tea caffeine-free.
Are the tea leaves grown in Beijing?
The company address and tea-growing origin are different. The national craft record describes Fujian spring green tea as the base for the traditional method; check each product’s label for its own origin details.
