00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Savor Prediction of iHeartRadio. I'm Annie

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Ree and I'm.

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Lauren Vocal bumb and today we have an episode for

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: you about jasmine tea.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Yes we do, Yeah, we do. Was there any particular

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: reason this was on your mind? Lauren?

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: Uh, it was on the list, and I U it

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 2: was time in my cycle of topic genres to do

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: another drink related topic, and it seemed interesting.

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: And it is interesting.

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh, and jasmine tea is delightful.

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I is it the one? Do they normally serve

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: jasmine tea? Dim sum? Oh? And my friend always says

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: jasmine tea, But now that I think about it, I'm

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: not sure she actually knew that. For fact, it's a

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: green tea of sometimes.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: Usually a green tea. I don't strongly remember it being

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: a jasmine under normal circumstances, but it might very dim

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: sum to dim sum place.

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, Well, as listeners know, I can't generally

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: drink tea anymore, but I do make an exception for

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: when I go to dim sum. And so I've been

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: living under perhaps a delusion of from my friend that

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: I have been having jasmine tea and it is very lovely.

25
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Whatever that tea was, it was, it's very nice, and

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: I suspect that even if it wasn't jasmine tea, I

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: would really enjoy jasmin tea.

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, jasmine is one of my absolute favorite sense.

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: It's just oh, it's just really gorgeous. It just makes

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: me feel happy.

31
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a good it's a good sense. Mm. Well.

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: For past episodes, you can see the one we did

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: of broadly on tea chi Earl, gray tea bags, bubble tea.

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: Also other flowers, violets, rose water. We haven't done roses directly,

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: but here we are marigold, lavender. Sure.

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that brings us to our question. Sure

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: jasmine tea, what is it? Well, Jasmine tea is a

40
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: type of beverage made from tea leaves that have been

41
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: infused with the scent of jasmine flowers. To make the beverage,

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: you steep these scented tea leaves in water, usually very

43
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: hot water, but you can also do a cold brew

44
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: if you'd like. The type of bass tea leaves used

45
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: can vary. I mean, you can use any type that

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: you want, really, but green tea is the most common

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: and the steep will bring out flavor and color compounds

48
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: into the water, resulting in a beverage that's pale to

49
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: rich gold to golden brown in color, with a strong

50
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: scent and taste that's kind of floral, fruity, sweet and green.

51
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: It can be served hot or cold, often just plain,

52
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: though you can add sweetener, and especially if you're icing it,

53
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: you could do like a whole like tea cocktail kind

54
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: of thing. You can you can make it into a

55
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: milk tea, or add herbs or some kind of fruit

56
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: something like that. Jaine jasmine is really heady and green

57
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: teas tend to be a stringent and sort of woody,

58
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: and the combination is just like a spa in a cup,

59
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: like sharp and soft at the same time. It's like

60
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: it's like walking into a steam room, like a little

61
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: bit overwhelming, but in this enveloping, comforting, clarifying way, sounds

62
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: so lovely.

63
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I've been busy the past couple days.

64
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: I have not even checked if I have jasmine tea

65
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: in the house, but I need some immediately.

66
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Also because it's it's chilli.

67
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, no, I am in my tea

68
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: and soup phase. I for When I was meal planning

69
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: last week for this week, I suddenly was like, I

70
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: have planned for nothing but soups.

71
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Yes, as is appropriate?

72
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, but yes so as we have discussed before,

73
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: tea comes from this type of evergreen shrub and or

74
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: small tree botanical name Camillia senensis. There are a couple

75
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: botanical varieties of this species, and like hundreds of cultivars

76
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: with various properties, but all types of tea come from

77
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: this one species of plant. The differences between white, green, black,

78
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: and other teas are in how the leaves are treated

79
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: after they're picked. Very basically, tea leaves all start out

80
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: looking a little bit like rose leaves, bright green, pointed

81
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: ovals with kind of serrated edges. You pick the leaves

82
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 2: either by hand for better quality, or more cheaply, by machine,

83
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: and then wither them by letting them dry down for

84
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: about half a day or so. As fresh tea leaves

85
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: are handled, and as they dry out, they'll begin oxidizing.

86
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: That is, molecules of oxygen in the air will start

87
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: mucking about with enzymes in the leaves, producing different flavors

88
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: and deeper colors. If you're making black tea, you want

89
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: that to happen in a controlled way, but for green tea,

90
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: you like really don't. So you destroy those enzymes right

91
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: off with either steam or dry heat, and this lets

92
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: the leaves retain their green color and their grassier and

93
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: fruitier and more or bitter, but overall more delicate flavor compounds.

94
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: Okay.

95
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: You then roll and twist the leaves into little needles

96
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: or pearls if you're doing it by hand, or into

97
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: if you're doing it by machine, into smaller gravel type granules.

98
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: And yeah, green tea is usually what's going to go

99
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: into making jasmine tea, but you can use white or

100
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: black or ulung or.

101
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: Whatever you like.

102
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: Generally, tea is harvested and processed in the spring, and

103
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: any base teas that are earmarked for turning into jasmine

104
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: tea will be stored until the jasmine being used comes

105
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: into its best season, which is usually more summer ish,

106
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: but it can really vary on the region and the

107
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: exact production process. But let's talk about jasmine all right.

108
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: So jasmine is a genus of plants called jazz minum. Yeah, sure,

109
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: let's go with that. It's in the olive family. They

110
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: grow as shrubs or vines and across the like two

111
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: hundred sum species in the genus. They can look and

112
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: behave fairly differently, but they tend to bloom with these

113
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: like small star shaped flowers that are very fragrant. Different

114
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: varieties bloom at different times of the year. Many are

115
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: night blooming, which I always think is fun and gothy. Yeah,

116
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: and the flowers only have their full scent when they're

117
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: mid bloom, Like when a blossom dies and dries down.

118
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: It's pretty neutral scented, which makes the tea production process

119
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: a little bit of a thing. Jasmine is a culturally

120
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: significant flower in China, where jasmine tea is originally from.

121
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: Jasmine is the subject of folk music there. It's connected

122
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: to Buddhism. It's part of traditional Chinese medicine practices. So yeah,

123
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: but okay, to make jasmine tea, the flowers will be

124
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: picked in like the morning to afternoon when they are

125
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: large and just about ready to bloom. In some areas,

126
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: individual farmers like bring their daily harvests to markets for

127
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: teamakers to purchase to go and make that night. Because okay,

128
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: to scent your base tea, you take your flowers and

129
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: spread them out on racks or screens for a few

130
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: hours until they open up in the evening, and when

131
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: they're about it ninety percent full bloom, they'll be layered

132
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: or mixed in with the base tea leaves to allow

133
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: the leaves to absorb the scent, and producers use really

134
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: specific like blend ratios and temperatures, humidity, air circulation, manual

135
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: mixing over the course of the next few hours and

136
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: time frames how many hours this all goes on for,

137
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 2: but after whatever period of time, the flowers and the

138
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 2: leaves are separated again these days with a sorting machine.

139
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: And yeah, this process can be done a number of times,

140
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: just once or twice for inexpensive teas, but like six

141
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: to seven rounds for higher quality teas, sometimes using like

142
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: a one to one ratio of fresh flowers to tea

143
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: leaves each time. At the end of the scenting process, though,

144
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 2: the leaves are separated out again and dried down and packaged.

145
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes jasmine petals are added back into the finished tea,

146
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: but usually just for like visual aesthetics, because again it's

147
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: not really gonna do anything for you there, but of

148
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: course this is the traditional method. Based teas can also

149
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: be flavored with jasmine extracts, either natural or synthesized. And yeah,

150
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: one note, one science y note. If you're brewing jasmine

151
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: tea at home, don't pour like rapidly boiling water over

152
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: your jasmine tea leaves or bag or what have you like.

153
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: Let it cool off of boiling, just tad before steeping

154
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: to preserve those those delicate flavors.

155
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, good note goodness. Yeah wow. What about the nutrition?

156
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: Okay, there is a lot of buzz about jasmine tea

157
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: being good for you, especially green tea based jasmine, and

158
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: generally speaking, green tea does have a higher amount of

159
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: polyphenols than black tea due to those lower oxidation levels

160
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: during processing, and polyphenols can act as antioxidants in your body,

161
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: which can have various protective and or preventative benefits. Lots

162
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: of research is being done, but like basically, you know

163
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 2: save or motto. Nutrition is complicated, Our bodies are complicated.

164
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: More research is necessary before ingesting a medicinal amount of anything.

165
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: You should consult a healthcare provider who is not us.

166
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: We are not that thing.

167
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: But you know, like if you have like a cup

168
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 2: a day or a cup of week because you enjoy it, great,

169
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: that sounds nice with the idea that also, caffeine is

170
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: a drug, and drugs can be fun, but you know,

171
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: use them responsibly.

172
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, responsible listeners. That's we all know. Yeah, that's

173
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: who you are.

174
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: Yes, oh my goodness, yes.

175
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: Yes, we do have some numbers for you. Yes, okay. So,

176
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: jasmine and green tea individually contain hundreds of volatile compounds,

177
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: each volatile compounds being smelly stuff essentially, and the production

178
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: process of jasmine tea develops more other different volatile compounds.

179
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: In scientific studies, eight hundred and eighty seven volatile compounds

180
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: have been identified in jasmine tea, including ones that smell

181
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: and or tape specifically like orchids, snap dragons, rows, grapes,

182
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: green apples, wood, and roastiness.

183
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: Roastiness yep, okay.

184
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: Yep, and that is such a short list yea. As

185
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty, China alone was producing over one hundred

186
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: thousand metric tons of jasmine tea per year, worth some

187
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: three point seven billion dollars I read I read it

188
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: was up to four billion dollars as of twenty twenty four,

189
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: and a good quality jasmine tea can go for around

190
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: like twenty to thirty bucks per ounce, an ounce being

191
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: about thirty grams or so, and jasmine itself is a

192
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: real big business in parts of China. As of this

193
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: year twenty twenty five, over three hundred and forty thousand

194
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: people in the Greater Hungzhou City area were involved in

195
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: jasmine production, which is a lot of people, but the

196
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: area does produced, to be fair, some eighty percent of

197
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: China's jasmine and some sixty percent of the world's supply.

198
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: So wow, okay, yep, yeah, oh well, uh it's a

199
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 4: big deal, yeah, i'd say, and it has for a

200
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 4: long while been a big deal.

201
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And we are going to get into that

202
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: history as soon as we get back from a quick

203
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: break for a word from our.

204
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 3: Sponsors, and we're back.

205
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: Thank you sponsor, Yes, thank you, so as men in

206
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: previous Tea episodes, tea is thousands of years old. Archaeological

207
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: evidence suggest flavored teas were being brewed in China as

208
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: far back as two thousand years ago, though they probably

209
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: weren't what we think of today when we think of tea.

210
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: While it was, tea was first considered largely medicinal. By

211
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: the six hundreds to eight hundred CE, people were drinking

212
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: tea for pleasure in China. This is also when merchants

213
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: started oxidizing green tea leaves to make black tea, which

214
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: held up better to travel and helped spread tea around

215
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: the world. And on top of that, this is when

216
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: more and more flavorings and scents got added into the mix.

217
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: The history of tea is such a big thing that

218
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to pin down specific dates, but yeah, yeah,

219
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: thereabouts thereabouts. Meanwhile, jasmine, which is going to have to

220
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: be its own separate thing, but briefly, jasmine originated in

221
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: Persia and was first introduced to China somewhere between two

222
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: hundred BCE and two hundred CE wide range where cultivation

223
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: really took off in the province of Fujian and its

224
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: capital Fujo because of the climate there.

225
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fujian is a mountainous region with areas that are

226
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: also in addition to being good for growing jasmine, it's

227
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: got different areas that are good for growing tea.

228
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: So right, so now we've got our tea in our jasmine.

229
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: So when it comes to jasmine, green tea, sources suggest

230
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: that it traces back around one thousand years in China,

231
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: around the same time that tea scenting was first coming

232
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: onto the scene.

233
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: And Fujian is said to be the birthplace. And it

234
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: certainly makes sense that, you know, an area that had

235
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: both products would think to combine them. They say that

236
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: to this day. From a mountaintop in the region, any

237
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: given mountaintop, like you can see everything from the farms,

238
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: to the production facilities, to the merchants that make the

239
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: jasmine tea industry work.

240
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and as Lauren mentioned in terms of teas, this

241
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: was a bit of a fussier tea at the time

242
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: and could only be made about four months of the

243
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: year when local jasmine was blooming. The merchants would harvest

244
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: thousands of the blossoms in really labor intensive and skillful

245
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: processes because you didn't want to break the flowers. It

246
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: was just a very careful process.

247
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you have to know when they're ready to bloom.

248
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

249
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: Yes, it was a whole thing. And then the blossoms

250
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: were placed in alternating layers of tea leaves to scent

251
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: the tea depending on the quality. Sometimes this process was

252
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: replicated over seven times, and because of the work and

253
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: skill involved in the early days of its inception, it

254
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: was often reserved for royalty and the rich, and served

255
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: at special occasions. Chinese diplomats sometimes presented it as a gift.

256
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: Those kinds of things.

257
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

258
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: During the Qing dynasty, which was the mid sixteen hundreds

259
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: to early nineteen hundreds, some producers introduced machinery to their

260
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: methods of scenting tea. With the expansion of trade routes

261
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: and new technology, jasmine tea spread throughout Asia and the

262
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: Middle East. When tea from China was introduced to the

263
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: UK via trade in the sixteen sixties, the export of

264
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: jasmine tea to the West expanded exponentially.

265
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: Jasmine tea and jasmine flowers in general were a favorite

266
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: of the dowager Empress Shichi in the late eighteen hundreds,

267
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: which worked to elevate their status and popularity.

268
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and towards the end of the nineteenth century, Taiwan

269
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: started growing jasmine forte.

270
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: The industry in Hangzhou, meanwhile, really got going in the

271
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies. Like I've read that jasmine had been growing

272
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: there for centuries, back to the fifteen hundreds at least,

273
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: but it wasn't really being cultivated until more recently.

274
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: Jasmin green tea grew in popularity outside of China in

275
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: the early twentieth century, and in twenty fourteen, the planting

276
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: and process of Fujo jasmine tea and the culture around

277
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: it was nominated for the UN's Food and Agriculture's Globally

278
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: Important Agricultural Heritage System. Yeah quite a name, it is.

279
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: It is, but yeah, yeah, it's on their list of

280
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: cool stuff that people do.

281
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think they just celebrated, they had a

282
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: kind of anniversary celebration for it.

283
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

284
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one of those things that, again, we

285
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: run into this sometimes. It's perhaps because a lot of

286
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: the sources are in Mandarin, are Cantonese, but also because

287
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: it's maybe so ubiquitous. I don't know, but it was

288
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: hard to find some like solid sources. But yeah, yeah,

289
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: clearly it's had a huge impact that oh yeah this happened.

290
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: I mean, and it's also kind of mixed up, like

291
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 2: I mean, like, we do absolutely need to do an

292
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: episode about jasmine, but because I was kind of going like,

293
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: is this more related to a different thing that we're

294
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: not really talking about today? But yeah, you know, and

295
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: these days, certainly people are taking this tradition of jasmine tea,

296
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 2: which I think for a little while right around the

297
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: turn of the twenty first century, I think for a

298
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: little while there it was considered a little bit old fashioned,

299
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: but people are kind of coming back to it now

300
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: with these new like like with milk tea or bubble

301
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: tea or something like that, incorporating it into other different

302
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: drinks and having fun.

303
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it's just nice. As you said, it's

304
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: just nice, and I'm yeah, I'm sure a lot of

305
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: you listeners have some thoughts, opinions memory. Yeah, yes, we

306
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: would love to hear from you, but I think that's

307
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: what we have to say about Jasmine t for now.

308
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 2: I think it is. We do already have some listener

309
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 2: mail for you, though, and we're going to get into

310
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: that as soon as we get back from one more

311
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 2: quick break for a word from our sponsors, and we're

312
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: back Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you, and we're back

00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: It is chillily, turn on my radiator. You know what

315
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: it takes for me.

Speaker 2: To turn Yeah, I mean, and this is so okay.

317
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: So Annie is one of the coldest running people I

318
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: think I've ever met in my life, but also very thrifty,

319
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: stubborn and determined. I was going to say, but stubborn

320
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: is a way of putting it.

321
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: Yes, it's loud.

322
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: Also, Oh, I see you, I see you. Yeah, I

323
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: know my heat, My my heat's been on for like

324
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. Now, yeah, I broke, I broke yesterday,

325
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 2: I wrote yesterday.

326
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: But anyway, yes, then warm cup of something would be

327
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,440

328
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but.

329
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: We're wonderful to get Diana wrote, last weekend, a friend

330
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: and I went to Vegas for a concert and we

331
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: had zero meals planned. I remembered that you did a

332
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: couple of episodes on Vegas, and we decided to head

333
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: to Hugo Cellar aka the Steak Basement. It was delightfully

334
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: old fashioned and exactly what we were looking for. I

335
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: never would have found that place if it weren't for

336
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: your episode.

337
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: Oh yay, so good.

338
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: I hope you had a wonderful time concert and steak

339
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: Basement all of the package.

340
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Oh that's so fun. Yeah, I oh, I love

341
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 2: that place.

342
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: It's such a fun you like, go into a basement,

343
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: it's like got a castle dungeon vibe.

344
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: Well, because the place that it's under is like royalty themed. Yes,

345
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: kind of so yeah, and they give you a rose

346
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: and yeah.

347
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: And the food portions are huge ridiculous. Lauren and I

348
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 1: split a prime rib which I still think about, and

349
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: it was.

350
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: It was way too big for either of us to

351
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: finish halo of because it was like a twenty eight

352
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: out steak or something.

353
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm convinced they gave us too full, too full servings.

354
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: Me too.

355
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: I think that they were trying to do us a

356
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: favor and I'm like, no, actually, I will, I will

357
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: have it in the hotel. Only eat about four ounces

358
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: of protein at any time.

359
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: But it is definitely like a place that is it's

360
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: an old Vegas. It's fun when you know where it's

361
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: where it is because you're just wandering about in a

362
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: very brightly lit hotel and if you know where to go, oh.

363
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you could otherwise totally miss it.

364
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Such a gym. That's such a gym.

365
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: Well, God, you enjoys.

366
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: Gosh, I love him. Mary wrote, we had a wonderful

367
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: time in Atlanta. On our way to Mary max tea room,

368
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: we passed the spoken of Krispy Kream and could see

369
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 2: how you almost got into an accident because it almost

370
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: happened to us as we went by. I pointed it

371
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: out to the Krispy Kreme lover who was navigating, but

372
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 2: we didn't need to pull a very questionable turn because

373
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: the light wasn't on. We just continued to Mary Max

374
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: for amazing fried chicken, collared greens and drinks. We rolled

375
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: out of there. I feel like Atlanta needs a warning

376
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: about how every day at four pm and June it

377
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: will be a torrential downpour. We got rained out of

378
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: an evening tour of Oakland Cemetery. We came back for

379
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: a tour during the day, only to watch the tour

380
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: guide be attacked by fire ants who knew something so

381
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: small could hurt so much. We did get to see

382
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: both whale sharks before one passed over the summer. Thank

383
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: you for all of your recommendations. Attached is pet tax

384
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: of Dante the Fluffy One and Lynn the Calico. They

385
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: are currently trying to get along, but Lynn thinks Dante

386
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: is annoying and tells him all about it. And attached

387
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: is a photograph of oh my gosh, look at these

388
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: fluffy buddies of one very fluffy like longish hair tabby

389
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: with a little white belly and white paws and a

390
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: little white bib and then a very comfy calico with

391
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: also a little white belly and pause, and I just

392
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: love it. I love that they've got their fall socks on.

393
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 2: I love that you've got a Halloween tree set up.

394
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: Yes, this is all wonderful. Listen. We just discussed in

395
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: a previous lister male from Japan about the Halloween Halloween tree,

396
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to think, yeah, you yeah, where have

397
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: I been? Like?

398
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: This is very you codd Yeah, I don't think I

399
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: could do this because my cats would not be as

400
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: chill as your cats are being in front of this tree,

401
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: or my older cat would be.

402
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: But the kitten I've seen this kitten calls chaos listeners,

403
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: and I agree.

404
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: Oh she's a danger cat. But but no, it's really cool.

405
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I like that's cute that they're annoyed at

406
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: each other. That's funny.

407
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: At least one of them is. That's usually the way.

408
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: One of them is like, don't you want to be

409
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 2: my friend? And the other one is like, no.

410
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: Leave me alone. So I'm glad that you had a

411
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: good time in Atlanta. Yeah, we always love to share

412
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: our city with people and if listeners don't remember. The

413
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: story that Mary is referencing is the story I told about.

414
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: There's a Krispy Kream on a popular road near me,

415
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: a busy road, and it's near like an intersection, and

416
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: it's just people see that hot sign and they make

417
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: the wildest turns.

418
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

419
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, but I'm sad and glad at the same

420
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: time that the light was not on.

421
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: So I think back when we recorded that it was

422
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: always on. But it recently, it's been subject to several fires.

423
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, they've had to like rebuild it, yeah,

424
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: parts of it. So I don't know. Maybe it's not

425
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: always on anymore, but I remember at one point it

426
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: was always on, and that was kind of the joke. Yeah,

427
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: it was like, you don't need to make this stuff special.

428
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is special anytime you go. But

429
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: it's not you know, it's not right.

430
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: You can just turn around. It's not going to go off.

431
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay, you will get your hot donuts.

432
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: But I'll say, yeah, Mary Max. Mary Max is celebrating

433
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: like they're celebrating some kind of anniversary. They've been around

434
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: for a long time.

435
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I want to say, it's many multiple decades. Yes, definitely,

436
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 2: something like a hundred years. But yeah, they are always delightful. Oh,

437
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that you had a hard time at Oakland though,

438
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: I love I love the cemetery so much. And for

439
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: sure Atlanta has started doing the Florida thing. We're at

Speaker 3: Yeah.

444
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. But and the fire ants. The fire ants thing, though,

445
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: that's just a that I couldn't have predicted that. I've

446
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: been going there a long time and I've never witnessed

447
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: that kind of thing.

448
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: No, but fire ants don't miss around, they do not.

449
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: They swarm and they hurt. Yeah no, and nope.

450
