Jasmine Green Tea

A timeless Chinese green tea scented with jasmine, offering an elegant floral aroma, fresh character, and beautifully smooth finish.

The Experience

Jasmine tea is one of China's most celebrated scented-tea traditions—a remarkable marriage of tea leaf and flower refined over centuries. Its history can be traced to the Song Dynasty (960–1279), when the practice of scenting tea with flowers began to develop. Over generations, Chinese tea artisans transformed intensely fragrant jasmine blossoms into something extraordinary: a way to naturally perfume tea while preserving the character of the leaf beneath it.

Traditional jasmine tea making is an exercise in timing and patience. Jasmine blossoms are gathered while their petals remain closed, then allowed to open as evening approaches and their fragrance becomes most intense. The fresh flowers are brought together with prepared tea leaves, which gradually absorb their perfume. For finer jasmine teas, this scenting may be repeated with new blossoms until the desired balance of tea and flower is achieved.

Churchill's Jasmine Green Tea celebrates that enduring tradition with Chinese green tea and jasmine. Fresh and gently vegetal beneath its floral perfume, the tea offers a graceful balance: jasmine is unmistakably present without losing the refreshing character of the green tea itself.

Before taking your first sip, pause to enjoy the fragrance rising from the cup. With jasmine tea, aroma isn't simply an introduction to the experience—it is an essential part of it.

When the Flowers Open, the Work Begins

Traditional jasmine tea isn't simply green tea with flowers mixed into it. Its signature fragrance comes from bringing tea leaves together with fresh jasmine blossoms at the moment their perfume is most expressive.

The flowers release their fragrance.

The tea leaves absorb it.

Through the skill of the tea maker, two very different ingredients become inseparable in the finished cup.

The tradition developed over centuries in China and eventually traveled around the world, making jasmine one of the most recognizable floral teas today. Yet its appeal remains remarkably simple: the freshness of green tea intertwined with the unmistakable perfume of jasmine blossoms.
