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.

GREEN JASMINE BY AN SHIM TEA
ORIGIN
Hà Giang is a mountainous province in northern Vietnam, located at the country’s northernmost border with China. Known for its dramatic landscapes and ancient tea forests, it is one of Vietnam’s most pristine and culturally rich regions. The province is defined by rugged limestone mountains, deep valleys, and winding rivers that shape its unique, untouched character. Tea gardens and wild Shan Tuyết trees grow at altitudes between 1,200 and 2,000 meters, surrounded by dense forests and cool mountain air. The climate is mild and misty, with frequent fog and high humidity that nourish the tea trees and enhance the natural sweetness of their leaves.
The soil in Hà Giang is rich in minerals, giving local teas a distinct clarity and depth of flavor. The region’s remote location and limited industrial activity help preserve the purity of its environment, making it one of the cleanest and most ecologically balanced tea-growing areas in Vietnam. Beyond its natural beauty, Hà Giang is home to several ethnic minority groups, including the H’Mông, Dao, and Tày, whose traditional lifestyles remain closely connected to the land. Together, the region’s geography, climate, and culture create a rare and authentic mountain terroir that defines the unique identity of Hà Giang and its celebrated teas.
ORIGIN
Green Jasmine is our signature interpretation of the world-renowned jasmine green tea — crafted with care, authenticity, and respect for tradition. The base of this tea comes from early spring leaves harvested from old, wild tea trees growing high in the mountains of Hà Giang Province, northern Vietnam. These ancient trees, thriving in pure natural conditions, produce leaves of exceptional richness and vitality, forming the foundation of this refined creation. Following traditional processing methods, the freshly harvested leaves are carefully withered, pan-fired, and dried to preserve their natural sweetness and vibrant freshness. The finished tea is then naturally scented with organic jasmine blossoms by a trusted local tea master, using a time-honored technique where layers of fresh flowers and tea leaves are gently combined. This process allows the tea to absorb the delicate fragrance of jasmine without losing its pure green tea character.
Green Jasmine by AN SHIM TEA represents our vision of what a classic jasmine green tea should be - elegant, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. It unites Vietnamese wild mountain tea with the artistry of natural scenting, offering a cup that is both familiar and new. We take pride in this creation, made exclusively for those who value authenticity, purity, and the timeless harmony of tea and flower.
ORGANOLEPTIC
The dry leaf of Green Jasmine presents elegantly twisted leaves in shades of dark green and silver, carrying a soft natural sheen. The aroma is gentle yet expressive, combining fresh jasmine blossoms with notes of wild herbs, young bamboo, and sweet mountain air. When placed in a preheated teapot, the fragrance deepens - warm floral tones unfold alongside subtle hints of honey and green fruit, creating a calm and graceful bouquet.
The infusion is clear, light golden-green, and bright. Its aroma is delicate and balanced - the natural jasmine fragrance merges harmoniously with the freshness of wild green tea. In taste, Green Jasmine is smooth, clean, and round. The flavor reveals soft floral sweetness, mild vegetal depth, and a hint of mountain honey. The jasmine is natural and refined, enhancing rather than dominating the tea’s essence. The aftertaste is long, pure, and cooling, leaving a gentle floral sweetness and lingering freshness on the palate.
GASTRONOMY
Green Jasmine, with its refined floral aroma and smooth, natural sweetness, pairs beautifully with light and delicate cuisine. Its clean and elegant character makes it a versatile tea for both savory and sweet pairings. It complements white fish, steamed seafood, and light Asian dishes, where the gentle jasmine fragrance enhances freshness and balances subtle umami flavors. The tea also pairs gracefully with rice dishes, fresh vegetables, and mild cheeses, adding aromatic depth and a refreshing finish. For desserts, Green Jasmine harmonizes perfectly with citrus pastries, coconut sweets, almond cookies, or light fruit tarts, where its floral aroma and gentle sweetness bring refinement and balance. Served slightly cooled, it also works wonderfully as a refreshing companion to summer meals — pure, fragrant, and uplifting.
