Jasmine Orthodox Tea from West Garo Hills, Meghalaya, takes our premium single-origin black orthodox tea and scents it with dried jasmine blossoms through natural layering — the traditional scenting method used in Chinese jasmine tea production for over a thousand years.

The difference from our Jasmine Green Tea: the base. Where Jasmine Green Tea uses whole leaf green tea (lighter, more vegetal, lower caffeine), Jasmine Orthodox uses our premium black orthodox tea — fuller, more complex, higher caffeine, and robust enough to hold milk if you prefer. The jasmine note sits differently on a black base: warmer, deeper, and more integrated with the malt character of the black tea.
This is for the chai drinker who wants to move beyond their everyday CTC but still wants a recognisable, substantial cup — not a delicate green tea. The jasmine bridges the gap: familiar floral character, but on a complex whole-leaf foundation that re-brews three times and rewards attention.
Jasmine Orthodox Tea: Black Tea Meets Floral Tradition
- Theaflavins from black tea — antioxidants unique to oxidised tea, linked to cardiovascular health and LDL reduction
- Jasmine’s anxiolytic linalool — natural calming effect from jasmine compounds, complementing L-theanine in the black tea
- Higher caffeine than green tea — approximately 40–60mg per cup; appropriate for morning use
- Re-brews 3× — whole leaf releases different flavour and health compounds across each steep
- No artificial fragrance — jasmine scenting is purely natural: dried blossoms layered with the leaf

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Jasmine Orthodox different from Jasmine Green Tea?
The base tea is different. Jasmine Green Tea uses our whole leaf green tea — lighter, more delicate, lower caffeine. Jasmine Orthodox uses our whole leaf black orthodox tea — fuller, more malty, higher caffeine, and works with milk. Same jasmine scenting method; very different cup.
Is the jasmine natural?
Yes — dried jasmine blossoms are layered with the orthodox tea leaves so the tea absorbs the fragrance naturally. No synthetic jasmine, no jasmine extract, no essential oil. This is the traditional scenting method used in China for centuries.
Can I drink it with milk?
Yes — unlike jasmine green tea, the black orthodox base is robust enough to hold milk. The jasmine note becomes subtler with milk but the overall cup is warm, aromatic, and satisfying.
