April Highlight: Jasmine Tea

Scented rather than flavoured, jasmine tea is traditionally crafted by layering fresh jasmine blossoms with tea leaves over multiple nights. As the flowers open, they release their fragrance, which is gently absorbed by the tea. The blossoms are often removed, leaving behind a clean, lingering aroma in the cup.

The result is not overtly floral, but balanced — a soft perfume that complements, rather than overtakes, the base tea.
