The origins of our Jasmine Green Tea

Fragrant and summery, our fresh two-star 2021 Great Taste award-winning No. 53 Jasmine Green Tea is a naturally infused Chinese loose leaf tea perfect for partnering with food or giving your afternoon a lift.

Harvested in Fuzhou, south-east China, this high-quality tea combines long curly leaves of Camellia sinensis mixed with heady Jasmine blossom for a delightfully floral brew. As well as imparting a typically alluring aroma, the Jasmine adds a subtle sweetness that beautifully balances this premium tea's grassy, nutty notes.

You can enjoy this delicate, light golden infusion as it is or with a squeeze of honey if you'd like to add a dash of sweetness. If you're looking to pair it with food, think of cereals and pastries for breakfast or cold roasted meats and sandwiches in the afternoon.

What are the health benefits of Jasmine tea?

As well as providing a delicate pick-me-up, jasmine tea has a range of potential health benefits, thanks to its flavonoids called catechins, which studies have shown may be linked to good cardiovascular function, weight management and even cancer prevention. In addition, because of their minimal processing, green teas are also higher in other antioxidants such as carotenoids and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) than other teas.
