Jasmine Romance offers green tea lovers a truly sophisticated cuppa. Infusing specially selected Chinese green tea with pure jasmine blossoms, this fragrant botanical brew soothes and transports with its exotic charms.
To create this blend, our Tea Masters start with a base of fine green teas from China’s Jiangxi, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces. Known as the ‘Golden Triangle’, this area is renowned for the quality of its green tea production. To transform the blend, the tea is layered with freshly-picked jasmine flower buds and left overnight. As the buds open, they infuse the tea with their uniquely sweet and floral aroma. This process is repeated over several nights to get just the right balance, resulting in a rounded green tea singing with fragrant jasmine aromas.
This blend’s light character makes it a perfect brew to enjoy with, or after, a meal, or try it as a refreshing pick-me-up throughout the day.
