🌿 Green Tea🌼 Jasmine Scented☕ Light Caffeine🌿 Loose Leaf
The classic Chinese floral cup — green tea scented overnight with fresh jasmine blossoms.
Real jasmine tea isn’t flavoured — it’s scented. The traditional method, still used in China’s Fujian Province, layers freshly picked jasmine blossoms with green tea leaves overnight. The leaves absorb the floral aroma; the spent flowers are removed before packing. The process is repeated several times for the higher grades.
The result is a cup where the jasmine seems to come from inside the tea rather than sitting on top of it. Soft, slightly sweet, deeply floral without going perfumed. One of the most-enjoyed teas in the world for a reason.

Tasting Notes
🌼
Living Jasmine
Aroma
The aroma feels alive — the smell of jasmine in a courtyard at dusk rather than the smell of jasmine essence. Deep but never heavy.
🌿
Soft Green Body
Body
The base is a soft Chinese green leaf — round, slightly sweet, no grassy edge. It carries the jasmine without competing with it.
✨
Long Floral Finish
Aftertaste
The jasmine lingers in the mouth several breaths after the cup is empty. That long finish is the mark of properly scented tea rather than flavoured.
How to Brew
01
Measure
One level teaspoon (about 2g) per 8oz cup.
02
Heat the Water
80–85°C / 175–185°F. Boiling water on jasmine green tea pulls bitterness from the leaf and dulls the floral aromatics.
03
Steep 2–3 Minutes
Two minutes for a lighter, more floral cup. Three for a fuller body. Strain cleanly — over-steeping mutes the jasmine.
Water
80–85°C
Time
2–3 min
Per Cup
1 tsp
Properly scented jasmine tea rewards multiple infusions: re-steep the same leaves two or three times, adding 30 seconds each round. The second pour is often the most balanced — the jasmine and green tea fall into proper register.
About the Tea
🌿
Chinese Green Tea
The Base
A soft, lightly fired green leaf from Fujian — chosen for the round, slightly sweet character that lets the jasmine sit forward without fighting it.
🌼
Jasmine Blossoms
The Scenting
Fresh jasmine flowers picked at dusk and layered with the leaves overnight. They release their oils slowly into the leaf as they wilt; in the morning the spent flowers are sieved out and the process is repeated for higher grades.
✨
Two Ingredients
The Honesty
No flavour oils, no synthetic jasmine essence, no « natural flavour » shortcut. The aroma in the cup is the aroma the leaf absorbed from the flowers — slower to make, longer in the mouth.
In the tin
Green tea, jasmine flowers.
