Verdant loose green tea leaves scented with blossoms of dusk-blooming jasmine.

  • Full Description

    We've sourced our signature Jasmine loose green tea from remote tea gardens in the south of China. The leaves are harvested and processed in the spring, then kept fresh until the summer jasmine season, when the young jasmine buds are picked and layered over the tea to release their essential oils. The result is richly fragrance yet pleasingly light delicious enjoyed at dusk, or as an after-dinner palate cleanser.

Origin: China

The origins of tea lie in China: legend has it that it was discovered when a few leaves fell into the mythical emperor Shennong's cup of hot water. Today China produces thousands of different varieties ranging from black and green tea to more unusual teas, like puerh or yellow tea.

Jasmine Tea

During the scenting process, the green tea leaves are layered up to six times with fresh jasmine once the buds start to open at dusk, then carefully turned to release the flower’s essential oils. It takes months of labour and no less than 400 jasmine flowers to make just 100g of naturally scented jasmine tea, but we think the effort’s worth it.
