Due to the special cultivars, climate, and quality of the tea leaves, this type of tea is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and microelements. The highest quality green teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally processed to prevent oxidation and to keep the tea leaf in its original chemical composition. Green tea regulates body temperature and is very good in the summertime.
During the research over the past few decades, it has been discovered that green tea reduces the risk of heart disease, cleans the circulatory system, strengthens blood vessels, reduces blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, prevents the development of cancer cells, and relieves nervous tension.

Tea absorbs surrounding aromas and moisture. This type of tea oxidizes when it comes into contact with oxygen and loses its properties, including taste and aroma. Store it in a dry and cool place in airtight packaging. Avoid direct exposure to the sun and high temperatures.

ABOUT
GREEN JASMINE is an AN SHIM TEA production, crafted at our own factory in Hà Giang, in northern Vietnam. It is made from early spring green tea harvested from ancient tea trees, selected for their density, clarity, and aromatic potential. This raw material provides a stable and expressive foundation for natural scenting.
The production follows a traditional green tea approach, where the leaves are carefully processed to preserve freshness and structural integrity. Afterward, the tea is naturally scented with organically grown jasmine flowers, allowing the aroma to integrate gradually into the leaf without artificial additives. This method requires precision and time, ensuring that the floral character remains balanced and does not overpower the base tea.
Within AN SHIM TEA PRODUCTION, we also create variations of this tea using other flowers, including gardenia and chloranthus. Due to the limited scale of these productions, this page serves to present the core concept and base tea, which remains consistent across all versions. The only element that changes between them is the type of flower used for natural scenting.
TERROIR
The base tea for GREEN JASMINE is cultivated in the mountainous regions of Hà Giang, in northern Vietnam. This area is defined by high elevations, often above 1,000 meters, with a humid mountain climate, frequent mist, and strong day–night temperature variation. These conditions slow leaf development, allowing for the accumulation of aromatic compounds while preserving clarity and balance in the raw material.
The tea is sourced from ancient tea trees growing in semi-wild forest environments. These trees develop deep root systems that access a wide spectrum of minerals, while the surrounding biodiversity maintains a stable ecological balance. The soils are typically well-drained, slightly acidic, and rich in organic matter, contributing to both the density and structure of the leaves. Microclimate plays a defining role, with diffused sunlight, high humidity, and constant air movement regulating plant metabolism. This results in a balanced composition of amino acids and polyphenols, supporting both softness and gentle structure. The early spring harvest further enhances this effect, producing tender leaves with a refined and stable profile.
Another important aspect is the integration of terroir with the scenting process. The clarity and purity of the highland green tea provide an ideal base for natural flower scenting, allowing the jasmine aroma to bind harmoniously with the leaf. This ensures that the final tea reflects both the mountain origin of Hà Giang and the precision of traditional scenting techniques.
ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry leaf consists of slender, gently twisted green tea leaves with a fresh green to deep olive tone, lightly interspersed with traces of dried jasmine petals. The aroma of the dry leaf is clean and expressive, with a natural jasmine fragrance layered over fresh vegetal notes and a soft sweet nuance. In a preheated teapot, the leaves release an elegant aromatic profile from the first infusion, where the floral intensity of jasmine is balanced by fresh green tones and a subtle creamy softness. As the infusion develops, the aroma becomes more integrated, combining floral brightness with a calm, rounded depth.
The aroma of the liquor is refined and harmonious, with a clear jasmine presence supported by gentle vegetal and lightly sweet undertones. The taste is smooth and balanced, with a light to medium body and a clean, slightly silky texture. A natural sweetness forms the core of the profile, while fresh green notes provide structure and a mild, well-integrated astringency. The jasmine aroma remains elegant and not overpowering, enhancing the overall clarity of the tea. The aftertaste is clean and moderately long, with a returning floral sweetness and a soft, refreshing finish. In the empty cup after drinking, a delicate jasmine fragrance lingers, leaving a calm and refined final impression.
