Harney & Sons Jasmine Loose Tea – 4 oz Tin | Pouchong with Fresh Jasmine

Ancient tradition, modern aroma

Harney & Sons Jasmine honors a long-standing Chinese tradition of infusing tea with jasmine blossoms. This blend begins with a pouchong base—a tea that's slightly browner and smoother than green tea. Fresh jasmine flowers are layered into the blend, allowing their fragrance to mingle with the tea as it cools. The result is a delicate, fragrant cup whose aroma can fill a room and invite a moment of contemplation as you pour your drink.

The pouchong base contributes a gentle body with a soft, toasty undertone that complements the jasmine without overpowering it. The floral notes are light and airy, with a subtle sweetness that evolves as the cup warms. The overall profile is balanced and approachable, suitable for both new tea drinkers and those who enjoy a refined, floral accent in their daily routine.

Brewing essentials for a balanced cup

• Use filtered water to let the tea express its character
• Measure one teaspoon per cup
• Pour water at about 175°F (80°C) over the leaves
• Steep for 2–3 minutes, then remove the leaves

For best results, begin with filtered water, as mineral content can influence the balance between tea and blossom. Use one teaspoon per cup and aim for a water temperature near 175°F (80°C). A brief 2–3 minute steep preserves the jasmine's aroma while keeping the base's character intact. After brewing, take a moment to observe the veil of fragrance as you bring the cup closer.

As you lift the cup, you may notice a delicate bouquet that hints at citrus and honey nuances. The first sip often delivers a soft floral brightness that gently fades into a smooth, satisfying finish. This jasmine tea pairs nicely with light pastries or a quiet moment with a book or music, turning everyday tea into a small ritual.
