Brand and scenting tradition
Zhang Yi Yuan traces its history to 1900 and is closely associated with Beijing’s jasmine-tea tradition. Its supplied material illustrates green-tea leaves, fresh flowers and the scenting process. Beijing is the listed product origin; it does not mean the tea bushes grow in Beijing. Several source labels separately identify Ningde, Fujian, as the tea-leaf origin.
Brewing and storage
Use water around 90°C (194°F), adjusting the leaf amount to your cup and taste. The producer’s illustration suggests a 3–5 minute infusion; use shorter steeps in a gaiwan. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry, clean place away from sunlight and strong odors. Close the tin promptly after use. Teaware in the photographs is for styling.
