Features: The climate in southern China is warm, especially in the South China region, where the geographical environment is very suitable for open-ground cultivation of jasmine and magnolia flowers. Jasmine has characteristics such as fast growth, early flowering, long blooming period, high yield, strong fragrance, ability to overwinter outdoors, low cost, and high economic benefits. It is the raw material for making scented tea and extracting natural jasmine essential oil. Jasmine tea is not only a fragrant, mellow, and refreshing beverage but also has certain pharmacological effects. The economic benefits of jasmine and magnolia cultivation, as well as scented tea processing, depend on science and technology. Therefore, popularizing the science and technology of high-yield cultivation and scented tea processing can promote production development, increase product yield and quality, and enhance economic benefits. This is not only an urgent demand for but also a lofty responsibility for us as scientists and technicians. In line with this aspiration, the author has summarized the experience in jasmine and magnolia cultivation, scented tea production, as well as their own insights from years of research and practice, and written this technical booklet for reference by and those engaged in the scented tea industry and related personnel.
