Green Tea with Jasmine

An exquisite marriage of high-grown Indian green tea and the charmingly intoxicating essence of Indian White Jasmine (Jasmine Sambac, also referred to as Arabian Jasmine or Mogra). Our Green Tea with Jasmine undergoes a traditional scenting process where fresh blossoms are layered with the leaves to impart their soul. Enhanced with a touch of natural jasmine extract to ensure a consistent, ethereal bouquet, this blend represents an harmonious balance between the terroir of India’s lush gardens and the delicate art of floral infusion.

Why we Love it!

We have blended an Indian jasmine tea, as it offers a distinct, creamier floral profile compared to other East Asian jasmine teas.

A Rare Narrative in Floral Tea

While the world often looks to the Far East for jasmine-scented teas, the lush landscapes of India offer a hidden gem for the true connoisseur. Our Green Tea with Jasmine represents a unique departure from the traditional Chinese profile, providing a dialogue between two of the subcontinent’s most prized exports.

In India, Jasmine (Mogra) is more than a flower; it is a cultural cornerstone of purity and celebration. When married to high-grown Indian green tea, the result is a cup that feels grounded and creamy.

Indian Jasmine is Distinct

The Terroir of the Base

Unlike the lighter, often more astringent green teas used as bases in other regions, Indian high-grown green teas (sourced from the Nilgiri region and the Himalayan foothills) possess a naturally rounded, buttery character. This provides a robust canvas that holds the floral notes without being overshadowed by them.

The Heady Profile of the Bloom

The Jasminum sambac native to India is renowned for its deep, voluptuous fragrance. While Chinese jasmine is often described as "bright" and "ethereal," Indian jasmine is warm and honeyed.  It offers a distinctively rich and resonant floral experience that lingers beautifully on the palate.

A Boutique Alternative

Choosing an Indian-origin jasmine tea is a statement of sophisticated taste. It signals an appreciation for small-batch craftsmanship and a bold desire to explore the evolving landscape of premium teas outside of traditional borders.

It is a tea for those who have mastered the classics and are now ready to discover the New World of floral infusions.

My Compatibili-TEA

This scented blend is artisanally crafted and paired for the tea enthusiast who seeks a moment of contemplative calm, one that reminisces the golden age of literary romanticism. It is the perfect companion for those who gravitate toward floral elegance and a clean, refreshing finish. Whether served as a sophisticated afternoon ritual or a light digestif, it appeals to those who appreciate the finer nuances of scented rather than flavoured tea.

Character

Radiant, poised, and uplifting. The character is defined by a gentle energy; it possesses the crispness of a high-altitude green tea, softened by the romantic, heady influence of jasmine. It is a poetic elixir of intellectual grace and romanticism.

Appearance & Colour of the liquor

In the cup, the tea reveals a luminous, pale straw-gold hue with visible fine particles of natural jasmine extract. The liquor appears light and bright, reflecting the purity of the processing methods used.

Aroma & Flavour

Aroma: An immediate, enchanting perfume of fresh jasmine blossoms dominates the top notes, followed by a subtle, underlying scent of steamed greens and wildflower honey.

Flavour: The initial sip offers a velvety floral sweetness that feels remarkably natural. This is supported by the base tea’s crisp, vegetal notes without any overwhelming bitterness, reminiscent of spring meadows.

Body & Mouthfeel

The tea possesses a light-to-medium body with a sophisticated, silky mouthfeel. It glides across the palate with a clean, watery texture, leaving no heavy residue, only a sensation of refreshed hydration.

Aromatic Persistence (The Finish)

The finish is where this tea truly shines. It boasts a remarkable longevity, leaving a lingering whisper of jasmine fragrance and a faint, sweet maltiness at the back of the throat. The after-aroma remains pleasant and clean long after the cup is finished.

The Alchemy of Calm & Clarity and the Health & Wellness Benefits

Aromatic Stress Relief

The natural linalool found in jasmine blossoms is clinically recognized to soothe the autonomic nervous system. Simply inhaling the steam can lower the heart rate and promote a state of wakeful relaxation.

Cognitive Synergy

The combination of L-theanine (an amino acid that promotes calm) and a modest amount of caffeine provides a gentle, sustained energy boost without the jitters often associated with other caffeinated stimulants.

The Power of Antioxidants

Cellular Protection

The combination of green tea and jasmine is packed with Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent catechin that helps neutralize free radicals, supporting long-term cellular health and potentially reducing the risk of chronic inflammation.

Metabolic Support

Green tea is a natural thermogenic. Regular yet judicious  consumption may assist in healthy weight management by slightly increasing the body’s metabolic rate and fat oxidation.

Skin & Radiance

Dermatological Defence

The polyphenols and anti-inflammatory properties of both the tea and the jasmine extract help protect the skin from environmental stressors, such as  UV and pollution,  contributing to a more radiant, youthful complexion from the inside out.

The Romantic & Aphrodisiac Allure

Jasmine is chemically unique. Its essential oils contain indole, a compound that, in trace amounts, provides a deep, musky undertone to its floral sweetness. This complexity is believed to mirror human pheromones, subtly stirring the senses and creating an ambiance of attraction and intimacy.

Emotional Liberation & Confidence

In Ayurvedic traditions, Jasmine is prized for its ability to "soothe the heart". By significantly reducing cortisol (the stress hormone) and easing anxiety, the green tea helps dissolve the mental chatter and inhibitions that can get in the way of connection. It promotes a state of euphoric relaxation where you are present, calm, and emotionally open.

The Chemistry of Desire

The scent of jasmine has been shown to stimulate the release of serotonin (the feel-good hormone), in the brain. This uplift in mood, combined with the gentle circulatory boost from the green tea’s catechins, creates a subtle emotional glow and a heightened sensitivity to touch and surroundings.

The Midnight Bloom, a Ritual for Two

Dedicated face-to-face time, sharing a teapot of Indian Jasmine tea with your special someone is an inherently deep and meaningful romantic act. The visual beauty of the luminous golden liquor, gazing into the shared haze of interlacing steam, and the lingering sensual fragrance create a sensory bubble just for the two of you. The perfect post-dinner transition from the busyness of the day to the intimacy of the evening.

Our Green Tea with Jasmine whispers when the world goes quiet. Experience the bewitching grace of Indian Jasmine—a bloom that saves its best secrets for the dark.
