Jasmine Green Tea | 50g

Jasmine green tea combines two distinct wellness stories in one cup. The green tea base provides EGCG antioxidants that support metabolism, immunity, cardiovascular health, and cellular protection. Jasmine itself, through its natural aromatic compounds, has a documented calming effect on the nervous system, reducing heart rate and promoting a relaxed, focused state. Studies have found that simply inhaling jasmine aroma activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is why jasmine tea is consistently associated with stress reduction and mood improvement. The L-theanine in the green tea amplifies this calming effect, making it one of the most genuinely relaxing caffeinated teas available.

Delicate, floral, and gently sweet with a clean green tea base underneath. The jasmine gives it an unmistakably perfumed quality, immediately recognisable and intensely aromatic before you even sip. Unlike jasmine teas made with artificial flavouring, Chayam's blend uses real jasmine flowers that infuse into the green tea leaves, giving a natural, layered floral character that builds through the cup rather than hitting immediately and fading. It is one of the most elegant-tasting teas in the range, light enough to drink plain, beautiful with a small amount of honey.

Traditionally, jasmine tea is made by a process called scenting: fresh jasmine blossoms are layered with green tea leaves overnight while the flowers are in bloom, allowing the tea to absorb the jasmine fragrance naturally. This is repeated multiple times for higher-grade teas. The result is a tea that carries the jasmine character in the leaf itself, not as an added oil or flavouring. Chayam uses real jasmine flowers in the blend, visible when you open the tin, which means every cup delivers both the aromatic benefit of jasmine and the full nutritional profile of the green tea leaf.

Yes, this is one of jasmine's most studied benefits. The linalool in jasmine's natural aroma has been shown to have anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects by modulating GABA receptors in the brain, similar to the mechanism of some anti-anxiety compounds. Multiple studies have found that exposure to jasmine aroma reduces anxiety, lowers heart rate, and promotes a calm, settled mood. Combined with green tea's L-theanine, which independently promotes relaxed alertness, jasmine green tea creates a dual calming effect that makes it particularly effective as a de-stress drink during or after demanding periods.

Mid-morning and afternoon are the most popular times; the moderate caffeine from the green tea provides focus and energy while the jasmine aroma keeps the mood calm and settled. It works exceptionally well as a transition drink: between demanding work periods, after a stressful meeting, or as an afternoon ritual that signals the day is winding down. Because it contains a small amount of caffeine from the green tea base, it is best avoided in the two hours before bed.

Yes. The EGCG antioxidants in green tea protect skin cells from oxidative stress, which is one of the primary drivers of premature ageing and dull complexion. The anti-inflammatory properties of both green tea and jasmine help reduce redness and skin irritation from the inside. Regular green tea consumption is also associated with improved skin hydration and elasticity. Jasmine's own antioxidants add complementary protection. While it is not a substitute for topical skincare, drinking jasmine green tea consistently is one of the most pleasant dietary habits for supporting skin health.

Use 2g or a heaped teaspoon per 175ml of water. The water temperature is important: heat to 80–85°C, not boiling. Boiling water damages the delicate catechins in green tea and can make it bitter. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain. The jasmine character is more pronounced when brewed on the lighter side: a slightly shorter steep and cooler water preserves the floral delicacy better than a strong brew. It can be re-steeped once for a lighter second cup. Served over ice it becomes a beautifully fragrant cold tea.

Yes, for most healthy adults one to three cups daily is safe and beneficial. The main consideration is caffeine: each cup contains roughly 20 to 35mg from the green tea base, so sensitive individuals or those avoiding caffeine should factor this in. Pregnant women are advised to limit green tea consumption due to caffeine content. Otherwise jasmine green tea has an excellent safety profile. it is one of the most consumed teas globally and has been drunk daily in Chinese culture for centuries without adverse effects.
