Real jasmine tea isn’t flavoured — it’s scented. The traditional method, still used in China’s Fujian Province, layers freshly picked jasmine blossoms with green tea leaves overnight. The leaves absorb the floral aroma; the spent flowers are removed before packing. The process is repeated several times for the higher grades. The result is a cup where the jasmine seems to come from inside the tea rather than sitting on top of it. Soft, slightly sweet, deeply floral without going perfumed. One of the most-enjoyed teas in the world for a reason. 🌼 Scented, Not Flavoured Layered with fresh jasmine overnight, traditional method 🌿 Chinese Green Base Soft, slightly sweet leaf chosen to carry the jasmine ✨ Multiple Scentings Higher-grade leaf passes through the process more than once ✨ **The Sampson Promise** We only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t. Type Green Tea, Scented Caffeine Light Origin Fujian, China Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 2–3 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) ## Tasting Notes 🌼 Living Jasmine Aroma The aroma feels alive — the smell of jasmine in a courtyard at dusk rather than the smell of jasmine essence. Deep but never heavy. 🌿 Soft Green Body Body The base is a soft Chinese green leaf — round, slightly sweet, no grassy edge. It carries the jasmine without competing with it. ✨ Long Floral Finish Aftertaste The jasmine lingers in the mouth several breaths after the cup is empty. That long finish is the mark of properly scented tea rather than flavoured. ## How to Brew 01 Measure One level teaspoon (about 2g) per 8oz cup. 02 Heat the Water 80–85°C / 175–185°F. Boiling water on jasmine green tea pulls bitterness from the leaf and dulls the floral aromatics. 03 Steep 2–3 Minutes Two minutes for a lighter, more floral cup. Three for a fuller body. Strain cleanly — over-steeping mutes the jasmine. Water 80–85°C Time 2–3 min Per Cup 1 tsp Properly scented jasmine tea rewards multiple infusions: re-steep the same leaves two or three times, adding 30 seconds each round. The second pour is often the most balanced — the jasmine and green tea fall into proper register. ## About the Tea 🌿 Chinese Green Tea The Base A soft, lightly fired green leaf from Fujian — chosen for the round, slightly sweet character that lets the jasmine sit forward without fighting it. 🌼 Jasmine Blossoms The Scenting Fresh jasmine flowers picked at dusk and layered with the leaves overnight. They release their oils slowly into the leaf as they wilt; in the morning the spent flowers are sieved out and the process is repeated for higher grades. ✨ Two Ingredients The Honesty No flavour oils, no synthetic jasmine essence, no « natural flavour » shortcut. The aroma in the cup is the aroma the leaf absorbed from the flowers — slower to make, longer in the mouth. In the tin Green tea, jasmine flowers. Origin & Sourcing Jasmine green tea from Fujian Province, the traditional home of Chinese floral teas. Scented with fresh jasmine blossoms using the centuries-old layering method.
