Jasmine - green tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is jasmine green tea?

Jasmine green tea is a loose leaf tea made from young top leaves that have been scented with jasmine blossoms. The result is a cup with a gentle floral aroma and a mild yet rich flavour. This Café du Jour jasmine green tea is scented twice with jasmine blossoms using a traditional artisanal method, creating a true harmony of blossom and tea in every cup.

How is it made?

During production, fresh jasmine blossoms are layered with the green tea leaves. The leaves absorb the natural fragrance of the flowers. Scenting the leaves twice gives this tea its distinctive depth of floral aroma. No artificial flavourings are added — only the natural scent of the jasmine blossom.

How does jasmine green tea differ from plain green tea?

Plain green tea has a clean, grassy or vegetal taste. Jasmine green tea keeps that green tea base but adds a soft, sweet floral note from the jasmine blossoms. The double-scenting process used here makes the floral character noticeably more rounded and present than in a single-scented variety.

Who is it suitable for?

This jasmine green tea suits anyone who enjoys a fragrant, floral cup with a mild character. It works equally well as a daily brew and as something a little special for guests. Because it is a loose leaf tea, it also appeals to people who like to control the strength of their cup by adjusting the amount of leaves they use.

• Tea enthusiasts who want a floral, aromatic experience
• People who find plain green tea too grassy and want a softer flavour
• Anyone who prefers loose leaf tea over tea bags for a fresher result
• Those looking for an artisanal tea from a specialist tea shop
• Anyone who enjoys a mild yet rich flavour in every cup

How do you use jasmine green tea?

Brewing jasmine green tea is straightforward. Use a teapot, infuser or tea strainer so the loose leaves have room to unfurl and release their full aroma. The key is to avoid boiling water, which can make green tea taste bitter.

Brewing steps

1. Heat water to around 75 to 85 degrees Celsius — not a full boil.
2. Add approximately one teaspoon of loose leaf jasmine green tea per cup (about 2 to 3 grams).
3. Pour the water over the leaves and let them steep for 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Remove the leaves promptly to keep the flavour mild and avoid bitterness.
5. Enjoy as is, or add a little honey if you prefer a touch of sweetness.

A 100 gram pack of this loose leaf jasmine green tea gives you roughly 40 to 50 cups, depending on how much leaf you use per brew. You can also re-steep the leaves a second time for a lighter, equally pleasant cup.
