Biological History & Beneficial Characteristics  

Jasmine tea is derived from the Jasmine officinale or Sampaguita plant (commonly referred to as the Jasmine plant). The Jasmine plant grows on high mountainous elevations in China from sub-tropical to cool climates. The leaves are picked in late spring when they are freshest and most delicate and endure a unique drying and infusion process. The leaves are dried and naturally scented with organic jasmine flowers over many moons in a careful drying process to preserve the sweet richness of the tea. No artificial oils nor flavouring are added to our Jasmine tea as the tea leaves are scented from pure Jasmine flowers. Prior to packaging, the tea leaves are lightly roasted to seal the floral infusion. Jasmine tea boasts a modest caffeine content and distinctive flavour which can benefit healthy mental alertness. Jasmine tea is known for it's uniquely fresh floral scent and inviting taste. It is recognize as one of the worlds most treasured teas.

We are proud to offer all our teas certified NON-GMO as they are all organically grown without artificial flavouring, harmful pesticides nor preservatives.

Additionally, organic teas have been shown in research to prevent a range of heart-related issues from congestive heart failure to high blood pressure with their ability to improve blood flow and lower cholesterol levels.
