Home-made Jasmine Tea:

Some people plant jasmine at home. If you do, you can use them for home-made jasmine teas.

First, put some loose green teas (generally the good quality ones) in the oven and slowly heat them up till the tea leaves are hot on the surface (be mindful about the temperature, otherwise they can be over-cooked).

Pick some full-bloom jasmine flowers (with a ratio of 50g (1.6 oz) of tea leaves to 10 to 20 flowers) to mix evenly with the tea leaves in a jar. Settle them for a day without a cover.

After 24 hours, put them in the overn for a short period and let them cool down. After they are coo, the home-made jasmine teas are done! (This step can be repeated multiple times to achieve stronger flavors).

Newly Processed Tea:

The newly picked and the newly processed tea is strong on the stomach. This is because new tea hasn’t been stored and allowed to settle long enough, which contains the un-oxidized natural ingredients of phenols and aldehydes. These substances have no impact on healthy people, however, people that have poor gastrointestinal functions, in particularly those gastrointestinal inflammation patients, may feel harsh on their digestive systems. Ideally, the new teas should be consumed at least 2 weeks after processing has finished.

In addition, the new teas contain more caffeine, so people with sleeping issues should try to avoid drinking it during the evening.
