Jasmin Mandarin Tea | MARIAGE FRÈRES
A Chinese green tea flavoured with jasmine flowers.
Our jasmine tea is scented according to a time-honoured tradition.
Plucked at dawn, thousands of delicate jasmine flowers are layered into the tea leaves and buds. The dry tea thus absorbs all of the heady, natural fragrance from the fresh flowers. This melding is repeated several times so the essence suffuses the heart of the tea. Between perfuming, the tea is dried again so that new, freshly plucked flowers may impart more aroma. After giving up all their delicious jasmine scent to the tea, the dried flowers are then carefully collected by hand, one by one.

About Mariage Frères: Around 1660, on behalf of King Louis XIV and the French East India Company, the ancestors of the Mariage Brothers sailed to distant lands on a quest for new flavours. Tea soon became a strong family passion maintained over the centuries in a tradition of excellence in taste and creativity, giving birth to the French art of tea.
