Jasmine Black
Jasmine Black combines full-leaf black tea and jasmine petals. The floral fragrance sits over a brisk, darker tea base, creating a very different cup from a light jasmine green tea.
Our tasting notes describe a pronounced jasmine aroma and flowers visible among the leaf. Enjoy it plain first to taste the balance, or add a small amount of milk if you prefer a softer black tea.

How to brew
- Tea: 2.5 g of dry tea per 8 fl oz (240 ml) of water
- Water temperature: 212°F (100°C)
- Steep time: 3–5 minutes, then strain or remove the tea bag.
- Cups per ounce: Approximately 11 cups per ounce (28.35 g), using 2.5 g per 8-fl-oz cup. This estimate counts the first infusion only.
Start with this guide and adjust to taste. A larger mug or stronger brew uses more tea and makes fewer cups per ounce.
