The finest of jasmine teas is Yin Hao. It comes from the counties surrounding Foochow in Fukien province, an outstanding tea-producing area. Plucked from early April to late May, the best leaf is then stored until the jasmine flowers come into bloom in August and September. It is then scented with fresh jasmine flowers up to seven times in its month of processing, and yields a sweet and perfumy cup. Bring 6 ounces spring water to a temperature of 80° to 90° C. (180° to 195° F.), pouring over 3g tea leaves (about one rounded teaspoon) for multiple short steepings.
