ToCoToCo’s signature organic jasmine green tea is a unique blend that stands out for its meticulous crafting process, where fresh jasmine flowers are carefully layered with organic green tea leaves using a traditional marination method. This approach preserves the natural fragrance of jasmine, known for its sweet, floral scent and soothing properties, creating a harmonious and refreshing tea experience.

“Jasmine flowers are prized for their captivating aroma and calming properties,” Ms. Van Le, Chief Marketing Officer at ToCoToCo, explained. “Combined with the earthiness of green tea, they create a harmonious blend that soothes the soul.”

According to Ms. Van, crafting jasmine green tea requires dedication and meticulous attention, from selecting the raw materials to the marination process. Fresh green tea leaves are handpicked, choosing only the youngest and greenest. These leaves are then withered, dried, and naturally marinated.

“We have selected two quintessential ingredients to create drinks that resonate with young people, blending them into a delicate symphony for a wonderful experience,” Ms. Van said. Each sip of tea transports you to the cool green valleys of Moc Chau, with the gentle scent of jasmine petals, evoking relaxation and comfort. The tea’s elegant and delicate flavor offers a soothing, nature-infused experience.

Meticulousness of marinating scents

Jasmine flowers are only picked during two time slots, 9-11 am and 2-5 pm, except on rainy days.

At that time, their buds are still closed, which helps retain the scent. The flowers are kept cool until nightfall.

The process of marinating usually begins after dark. Artisans will pour a layer of tea and then a layer of flowers into a bamboo pot. The marination takes a long time, at 8 to 12 hours.

During that period, ToCoToCo’s artisans turn the tea and jasmine flowers every two hours.
When the tea has absorbed the first flower scent, it is sieved to remove the old flowers, and a new layer of flowers is added.

They repeat this about four times, totaling 40 hours, for the tea to have the best scent.
Tea also absorbs moisture from fresh jasmine flowers. Finally, tea with enough flower flavor is put into drying.

After the elaborate marinating process, ToCoToCo offers a special drink in which tea is fermented and blended with jasmine.

Numerous health benefits

“Green organic jasmine tea is not only appealing to the senses but also contains many healthy nutrients, making it ideal for those who love tea and want to enjoy the great benefits of a natural, organic product,” Ms. Van added. “Green organic jasmine tea has the delicate, gentle flavor of green tea leaves along with the passionate, sweet scent of jasmine flowers.”

Jasmine green tea offers an excellent flavor with the sweetness of jasmine and the bitterness of tea, creating a refreshing and relaxing experience for drinkers. Its L-theanine works on nerve cell receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid, glutamate, and other neurotransmitters, providing calming effects. It helps increase dopamine and the production of alpha waves in the brain, which create a pleasant, relaxed state.

In clinical research, L-theanine has been found to help boost attention, mood, cognition, and even quality of sleep while not diminishing alertness. Green tea’s caffeine works well with L-theanine to enhance brain function, including mood, vigilance, reaction time, and memory.

According to information published in the National Library of Medicine at the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the combination of caffeine and L-theanine improves brain function by strengthening working memory and attention while reducing anxiety.
With these numerous benefits, savoring a cup of jasmine tea has the potential to provide the strength needed to get through a bustling day, contributing to a holistic sense of wellness and cognitive balance.
