Jasmine tea, probably the most loved scented tea, has been enjoyed since the 5th century in China. It truly blossomed during the Qing dynasty, when large quantities were sent to the West, inviting many to discover its soothing aroma and flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unwind with jasmine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jasmine tea<\/strong><\/a> is a traditional favourite, known for its fragrant aroma and relaxing ritual. You\u2019ve probably noticed jasmine in perfumes, skincare and candles\u2014and there\u2019s a good reason. Its floral scent has a way of making people feel calm and comforted, perfect for setting the mood during focused moments. This is why it\u2019s big in aromatherapy and the perfect companion for a self-care day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labour of love<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It takes time and care to scent jasmine teas just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Jasmine flowers are picked early in the morning. At this point, they\u2019re still closed up tight.
– Come nightfall, the flowers start to open and release their dreamy scent. That\u2019s when they get layered with tea leaves.
– The flowers gently scent the tea for at least four hours, and sometimes all through the night.
– Once the scenting\u2019s done, the flowers are gently hand-sifted out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing: this scenting process is repeated night after night, sometimes up to seven times, to get that perfect balance of aroma and flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
