A fresh, floral loose leaf jasmine green tea with a garden-sweet bouquet, silky body and a clean, cooling finish.
The flavour
Pale-gold in the cup with a soft, velvety mouthfeel. Jasmine blossom opens first—honeysuckle, white peach, sweet pea—settling over a gentle green tea backbone that’s crisp and refreshing. As it cools, the florals round out and a light sweetness lingers.
Why you’ll love it
• Naturally scented: real jasmine blossoms, not artificial flavouring.
• Balanced, never perfumey: bright florals over a clean green base.
• Calming ritual: aromatic, soothing and easy to drink any time.
• Hot or iced: beautiful warm; exceptionally clean as a cold brew.
Origin & craft
• Region: Fujian Province, China.
• Style: Traditional jasmine-scented green tea.
• Harvest & bloom: High-grade spring green tea (mid-March to May), scented with Grade 1 jasmine blossoms that peak in May for a more intense aroma.
• Method: Fresh jasmine flowers are layered with finished green tea overnight, allowing the leaf to absorb natural fragrance; petals are partially retained for a pretty cup.
