Cultivation and uses of jasmine:

Jasmines are broadly cultivated for their flowers, enjoyed in the garden, as house plants, and as cut flowers.. Some claim that the daily consumption of Jasmine tea is effective in preventing certain cancers. Many species also yield an supreme which is used in the production of perfumes and incense.
Jasminum sambac flowers are also used to make tea, which classically has a base of green tea, but sometimes an Oolong base is used. Between six and eight in the evening, as the hotness cools, the petals begin to open. Flowers and tea are "mated" in machines that control warmth and humidity. It takes four hours or so for the tea to absorb the fragrance and flavour of the Jasmine blossoms, and for the highest grades, this process may be repeated as many as several times. Because the tea has absorbed moisture from the flowers, it must be refired to prevent spoilage. The spent flowers may or may not be removed from the final product, as the flowers are completely dry and contain no aroma. They simply add visual appeal and are no indication of the quality of the tea.
