Recently, the promotional video of Fuzhou city of Fujian Province, titled "What 
You Did Not Know about Fuzhou -- Jasmine Tea", was released through overseas 
social media accounts including "Oriental.Paris", "Discover Fujian" and 
"Discover Fuzhou", inviting overseas friends to taste the history and customs 
of Fuzhou through a cup of Chinese tea, according to the Publicity Department 
of the CPC Fuzhou Municipal Committee. 

In the promo video, scented tea with fresh fragrance is made out of a jasmine 
flower through ingenious craftsmanship and numerous processes. These 
traditional techniques have been passed down for thousands of years in Fuzhou. 
It not only contains the unique romance of "A jasmine flower, a lifelong 
attachment", it has shaped the character of Fuzhou people and instilled a great 
sense of family and country into them. Today, jasmine tea has gradually become 
a characteristic name card of this coastal modern city to go global, present 
its new look and build friendship.

In December 2022, "Chinese traditional tea making techniques and related 
customs" passed the review and was included in the Representative List of the 
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the United Nations Educational, 
Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The jasmine tea scenting 
process of Fuzhou, a national intangible cultural heritage of China, is one of 
the representative programs of the application list.

Fuzhou's jasmine tea is a millennia-old flower messenger of China. As an 
important node city of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, Fuzhou is taking 
tea as a matchmaker to scale up international connections, drill down regional 
cooperations, and spread out fragrance, friendship, and peace to the world.
