Twinings Jasmine Green Tea, 20 Tea Bags 40g
A properly scented jasmine green, not a sprayed-flavour one: the blossoms are layered with the leaf so the fragrance is absorbed naturally, which is why it reads as delicate and floral rather than soapy or perfumed, provided you brew it off the boil. This is the classic restaurant-style jasmine, and floral teas are firmly love-or-hate, so know which you are before buying. Real green tea, so caffeine and a daytime cup. For jasmine fans it is elegant and well made; for everyone else, the plain green is the safer bet.
Twinings Jasmine Green Tea, in brief.
Twinings Jasmine Green Tea is the classic Chinese-style flavoured green tea from the Twinings range, the standard green tea leaf scented with jasmine flowers in the traditional Chinese fashion, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the floral alternative to a plain Pure Green Tea or the fruit-flavoured green teas in the same brand range.
The green tea provides the structural backbone, while the jasmine sits on top as the lead perfumed note, the cup pulling a soft pale-gold liquor with the distinctive floral aromatic that defines proper Chinese jasmine green tea. A classic across the Chinese tea aisle.
A twenty-bag Twinings household pack at an accessible price, the dependable bagged jasmine green tea for everyday drinking.
Twinings Jasmine Green Tea brings a little quiet into a busy modern day. This elegant blend captures the heart of traditional scenting techniques where the delicate white blossoms are allowed to impart their fragrance naturally into high quality Green Tea leaves. It suits anyone who treats the tea break as a proper pause, a moment to clear the head with a light lift of energy. People who make time for a proper pause in the day will find it a natural fit.

The Science Of Floral Restoration
The excellence of this
The Science Broken Down:
-
Oxidative Defence: The manganese and catechins technically assist the body in managing oxidative stress and maintaining metabolic integrity.
-
Scenting Efficiency: The traditional layering process is engineered to allow the Green Tea leaves to absorb the maximum floral scent without the need for artificial perfumes.
-
Gentle Stimulation: The moderate Caffeine content comes from the green tea leaf itself.
The Story Behind the Twinings
The Jasmine comes from a company Thomas Twining founded in 1706 at 216 Strand, London, where his shop still trades; no tea shop in the world has run longer without a break. The family ran the firm across nine generations; Stephen Twining is its ambassador now. In 1837 Queen Victoria granted the company a Royal Warrant, and Twinings tea still goes to the Royal Household.
