Jasmine scented teas are appreciated all around the world. Although usually unoxidized teas like green or white teas are used as a base, we have chosen a loose leaf black tea from the Nilgiri region and the outcome is phenomenal! Our Jasmine Black Tea is scented naturally using real jasmine flowers. The tea contains no additives or oils and is so naturally delicious.
The black tea gives a full bodied cup, lasting aftertaste, mild astringency and a mineral texture with an extremely rich mouthfeel. Beautiful aromas of jasmine are noticed throughout with lovely undertones of oak bark, hay and plum. With about 4-5 infusions per serving, this tea is an absolute winner! Jasmine Black Tea makes a lovely warm cup to relax with in the evening. It is also lovely iced as a cold brew, mixed with a juice or as part of a cocktail.

Elephants help define the entire ecosystem and are the “gardeners of the planet”. They consume different varieties of berries, bark, leaves, roots, and foliage; and wander across vast forests, dispersing seeds in their dung. The Indian elephant is listed as an endangered species with only 20,000-25,000 left in the wild.
I love the strong Nilgiri black tea kick along with an equally bold Jasmine scenting. Beautiful amber hue. This is now my #1 Jasmine tea. (I've been drinking Jasmine teas for nearly 60 years.)
The moment I opened the packaging, the heavenly fragrance of Jasmine surrounded me, and I was smitten. I was impressed by the complex flavor profile of this black tea, which married strength and astringency in perfect harmony. The distinct Jasmine flavor was also a true delight. I prepared two cups, adding organic whole milk to the second, and was rewarded with a truly transcendent experience. Although the packaging suggests that the tea can be infused 4-5 times, I personally prefer not to reuse the leaves. However, this feature does make the tea a more cost-effective option for those who do.
Great tea purveyors. H&K has excellent quality and provides great service. Highly recommended!
