Jasmine Tea Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does jasmine tea taste like?
Jasmine tea has a light, floral sweetness with a smooth, honeyed body, never bitter when infused correctly. The fragrance comes from real jasmine blossoms layered over the tea through repeated scenting, not added flavouring, so aroma and taste build together the longer the leaves are left to develop. Read more in our guide to pairing jasmine tea with food. -
Does jasmine tea have caffeine?
Yes, jasmine tea naturally contains caffeine, since it's scented green or white tea rather than a herbal infusion. Levels sit lower than black tea but are still present, so it isn't a caffeine-free choice. For a full comparison, see what tea contains the most caffeine, or browse our caffeine-free tea range for an evening alternative. -
What's the best jasmine tea to try?
The "best" jasmine tea depends on what you're drawn to: a jasmine green tea for a fresher, more vegetal cup, or Jasmine Silver Needle for something softer and more delicate. Both are scented using the same slow, traditional method, the leaf beneath simply changes the character. Our guide to loose leaf tea is a good starting point if you're new to choosing loose leaf. -
What's the difference between jasmine green tea and Jasmine Silver Needle?
Jasmine green tea scents a green tea base with fresh blossoms, giving a grassy, floral cup. Jasmine Silver Needle instead scents delicate white tea buds, producing something lighter, sweeter and softer on the palate. Both follow the same traditional layering process, the difference lies entirely in the leaf beneath the fragrance. Compare styles across our green tea and white tea collections. -
Is jasmine tea good for you?
Jasmine tea carries the natural qualities of its base leaf, usually green or white tea, including antioxidant polyphenols, alongside the simple ritual value of a fragrant, unhurried cup. It's naturally low in calories and, depending on the base, gentler in caffeine than black tea. Explore the full picture in our journal piece on the benefits of jasmine tea.
