Jasmine Black Tea

About Jasmine Black Tea

This Chinese loose leaf black tea from Fujian has rich notes of malt and vanilla, uplifted with an intense natural fragrance and flavour of pure jasmine flowers. To achieve scenting this thorough, the tea leaves must be laid alongside carpets of jasmine flowers which bloom in the darkness of night, imparting their sensual aroma. A beautiful tea to begin the day, or whenever you need a reflective moment or two. Pair with fruity desserts, or even toast with butter and strawberry jam.

About Jasmine tea

The process of scenting with jasmine can be repeated for anywhere between three and five nights to ensure an unforgettable strength, using a fresh bed of flowers each time. Teas for scenting are picked across China before being sent for fragrancing in the height of the jasmine season in Guangxi in the summer.

Effects

The combination of black tea and jasmine offers an uplifting feeling from the caffeine in the tea, and a romantic sentiment from the natural floral fragrance. While black tea is regarded for its high antioxidant properties that help support overall health, jasmine has been researched for heart health, relaxation, and even as an aphrodisiac.

How to Enjoy

A rousing way to start the morning with a light breakfast, or as a treat in the afternoon to restore the senses and a feeling of focus. Pairs particularly well with strawberries, cherries, and other juicy red fruits like watermelon.
