Crafted in collaboration with our partners in Jinggu during the spring of 2015, this tea reimagines a centuries-old scented-tea tradition from China. While classical jasmine styles are typically hand-rolled before they are scented, these tea buds are left in their natural, slightly twisted shape. They are then layered with fresh jasmine blossoms picked in full bloom on summer nights, when their essential oils reach peak richness.

Because the buds aren’t rolled, fewer rounds of scenting are needed to achieve a deeply fixed floral fragrance—one that perfectly complements the honeyed richness of the tea without overpowering its flavor. The result is a refined take on a classic, where every lush, aromatic cup takes you to a moonlit garden in Yunnan.
