Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine green tea is a traditional Chinese tea produced by scenting high-quality green tea leaves with fresh jasmine blossoms (Jasminum sambac) during the night, when the flowers are most fragrant. The result is a delicate, layered tea that balances the grassy, vegetal character of green tea with the hauntingly sweet floral aroma of jasmine — one of the most beloved tea blends in the world for over 1,000 years.

• Base: Green tea (Camellia sinensis)
• Scenting: Fresh jasmine blossoms (Jasminum sambac)

• Aroma: Intensely jasmine-forward with subtle green tea earthiness

Brewing Guide

• Water temperature: 75–85°C (165–185°F) — do not use boiling water; it will make green tea bitter

• Amount: 1 teaspoon per 8oz water
• Re-steeping: High-quality jasmine green tea can be steeped 3–4 times with evolving flavor profiles
• Iced: Brew double-strength and pour over ice; excellent as a cold brew (steep in cold water for 6–8 hours)
• Pairing: Thai cuisine, sushi, light desserts, or enjoyed throughout the day as a gentle pick-me-up

Health Benefits of Green Tea

• Antioxidant: Rich in EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), one of the most studied antioxidant compounds
• Focus & calm: The combination of caffeine and L-theanine produces alert, focused calm without the jitteriness of coffee
• Metabolism: Green tea catechins have documented thermogenic and fat-oxidizing effects
• Cardiovascular: Regular green tea consumption associated with reduced LDL cholesterol and improved endothelial function

Storage

Store in an airtight container away from light, heat, moisture, and strong odors (green tea absorbs aromas readily). Shelf life: 12–18 months when stored correctly. Sold loose — not in individual teabags.
