In the stillness of twilight, when the moon rises and the first stars shimmer like lanterns, the jasmine flower begins to bloom. Its fragrance drifts into the night like a faerie’s sigh — sweet, intoxicating, and filled with mystery. Paired with the grounding strength of green tea, jasmine becomes an elixir of balance: earth and sky, strength and softness, focus and serenity.
This timeless blend has long been revered not only for its beauty and fragrance but also for its ability to awaken the senses and soothe the soul. To sip jasmine green tea is to walk through a moonlit garden, cup in hand, guided by both blossoms and leaves.
The Folklore of Jasmine
In many cultures, jasmine is known as the “Queen of the Night” because its flowers release their fragrance after sunset. In our Faerie Good Tale, The Legend of the Valley’s Flower, she is called the “Queen of the Valley.” You can read her story [here].
In other folklore, jasmine was often woven into garlands for love, luck, and divine blessings. In India, the flower is sacred to love deities, while in the Middle East, it was treasured as a perfume of sensuality and joy. Jasmine is said to open the heart to love and enhance intuition under moonlight.
When paired with green tea, jasmine becomes not just a flower of love, but a companion of wisdom and clarity, marrying heart with mind.
Green Tea: The Ancient Leaf
While jasmine offers fragrance and beauty, green tea brings grounding and resilience. With roots in ancient China, it has been brewed for thousands of years for its energizing yet calming nature. Revered by monks, warriors, and poets alike, green tea embodies focus, mindfulness, and longevity. The Green Leaf Thief is our organic Sencha green tea—perfect if you fancy a cup of pure clarity.
Together, jasmine and green tea create a harmony of opposites — the fragrant night blossom and the steady leaf, the dream and the discipline.
