Typically, jasmine tea is green or white tea-based, naturally infused with jasmine buds and jasmine flower petals. At The Tea Makers of London, we work closely with some of the best tea farmers and producers globally, regularly visiting local tea producers, their plantations and production facilities to ensure that the teas we provide are of the utmost quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach premium tea in our Jasmine Tea range is sourced from Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province in China’s southeast. With its subtropical climate, short dry winters and high rainfall, the area has historically proved ideal for growing jasmine plants and the tea bush, Camellia sinensis. Jasmine was originally planted in the third century and has been blended with green tea leaves since the Song dynasty era (960-1279 AD).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn spring, the finest tea leaves are carefully plucked and dried to prevent oxidation, then stored away until summer’s jasmine flower harvest, when they are carefully layered with the new blooms. Left for several hours, the essential oils of the jasmine slowly seep into the tea leaves, mixing the natural flavours and aromas of both before the tea is gently heated to remove any residual moisture. This process is repeated up to seven times to ensure that the tea leaves take on a strong fragrance. This infusion method – referred to by tea professionals as 'scenting’ – is an intricate process that requires many years of experience to perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore similar Chinese or Ceylon green teas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a more fully floral example of a Chinese jasmine cup of tea, try our intensely fragrant \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/jasmine-dragon-pearls-loose-leaf-tea\"\u003eJasmine Dragon Pearls\u003c\/a\u003e, which unfurl prettily before your eyes as they brew.

At The Tea Makers of London, we work very closely with Japanese farmers to ensure that only the most exceptional. High-quality tea leaves end up in your teacup. Like our exquisite Supreme Sencha, some of the finest examples are painstakingly cultivated by the tea farmers of Ise Bay, whose tea expertise has been passed from generation to generation for more than 800 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupreme Sencha is grown in full sunlight and is delicately hand-picked, then lightly steamed to prevent oxidation of the leaves. Following this, the leaves are rolled, shaped and dried. This step creates the customary thin and cylindrical sencha tea leaf, known for its fine and fragile structure.

Located on the Pacific coast of Honshu, this is one of Japan's most historic tea-growing districts, with a heritage that goes back at least 800 years. Due to Ise's coastal terroir, sencha green teas grown here have a distinctive light vegetal, umami character with fresh grass and seaweed notes. In this tea, these are beautifully balanced by the inclusion of the nutty flavour toasted rice and the intense creamy richness of the ceremonial-grade matcha.

Derived from green tea, these plant compounds include gallic acid, associated with improved gut health, and flavonoids called catechins, which studies have shown may be linked to good cardiovascular function, weight management and even cancer prevention. Because of their minimal processing, green teas are also higher in other antioxidants such as carotenoids and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) than other teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding an extra healthy tea dimension is matcha powder, which studies have shown high levels of healthy amino acids, including L-theanine. While matcha contains moderate amounts of caffeine, research has shown that it's released more slowly due to its interaction with L-theanine, creating a quieter sense of focus rather than inducing the jolt you might get from, say, a strong cup of coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha also scores highly in the category of plant-derived antioxidants called catechins, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), associated with cancer-fighting properties and a reduction of 'bad' LDL cholesterol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIf you love this tea…\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an authentic Japanese brew that combines the freshness of green tea with the nutty notes of roasted rice, try a caddy of our classic Genmaicha.

A wonderful breakfast brew, Assam Thowra is an outstanding second-flush loose leaf tea with a full-bodied, robust spicy and malty flavour. Its neat, wiry tea leaves boast an abundance of golden tips and impart a copper-coloured infusion with a distinctive malty aroma.

It's this tropical climate, combined with the region's low average elevation, that contributes to Assam's unique malty taste and makes it one of the world's most popular breakfast brews.

Spending their hard-earned wages and staggering about in the streets was frowned upon by the temperance movement, which sought a booze-free solution. Enter the humble cuppa and the festive tea party – usually held close to Christmas and interspersed with religious sermons and admonishments to give up alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first mass Christmas tea party was held in Preston in 1834 and attracted a crowd of 1,200.

Awarded by the Great Taste Awards and the Guild of Fine Foods, this tea is celebrated for its purity, craft and exceptional seasonal quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more insight into seasonal flushes, you can read our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-is-darjeeling-first-flush\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDarjeeling tea guide \u003c\/a\u003ein our Tea Journal. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Tea Makers of London","offers":[{"title":"50g Pack","offer_id":40373010694343,"sku":"12104TAS","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125g Refill","offer_id":42465652703488,"sku":"12104FIL","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125g Caddy","offer_id":40373010727111,"sku":"12104CAD","price":12.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g Pack","offer_id":40373010759879,"sku":"12104S","price":17.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg Pack","offer_id":40373010792647,"sku":"12104","price":43.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/0593\/2743\/products\/PR49CD_2.jpg?v=1625135829"},{"product_id":"decaffeinated-ceylon-loose-leaf-tea","title":"Decaffeinated Ceylon - Loose Leaf Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you love the brisk, malty character of a Ceylon breakfast tea but prefer to go low on the caffeine, our loose-leaf decaffeinated tea from Sri Lanka's Ruhuna district makes it a delightful option any time of day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA BOPF (Broken Orange Pekoe Fannings) grade black tea with short, rolled-up leaves, our Decaf Ceylon Black Tea has had most of its caffeine removed, but its quality kept intact.

Much loved for its heady aromatics of citrus-tinged with spice, it hasn't been out of style since – as likely these days to be found in your kitchen caddy as on a hotel tea room menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarl Grey was the first scented tea ever brewed. Forever associated with Charles Grey, the second Earl Grey and British prime minister from 1830 to 1834, its exact origins were never recorded but date back to the early 1800s and the start of the global tea industry. One of the most commonly quoted stories about the invention of Earl Grey tea has it that Charles Grey was gifted a black tea infused with bergamot oil by a Chinese mandarin as thanks to one of Grey's men saving his son's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother goes that the tea was accidentally 'discovered' when a shipment of bergamot oranges and black tea were shipped together to the earl's home, Howick Hall in Northumberland. More likely is that essential citrus oils were used to improve the flavour of tea made with strong-tasting water. Because Charles Grey never trademarked the name, the emerging big tea companies of the Victorian era were left to claim Earl Grey tea as their own, and the truth will probably remain a mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is without a doubt is how popular Earl Grey tea has become the world over. Today, Earl Grey is usually made by tea companies from Ceylon or Assam teas, or a blend of both, combined with bergamot orange. However, various regions and companies have created their own versions of the blend down the years – the most famous spin-off being Lady Grey, or Mary Grey in our case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScience has recently given Earl Grey tea even more of a boost. To add to a raft of discoveries about black teas' antioxidant and disease-fighting properties, studies have shown that bergamot may aid digestion, inhibit gut inflammation and help fight the bacteria associated with stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternatives to this iconic black tea blend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp id='\\\"isPasted\\\"'\u003eFor a more delicate take on this much-loved blend, try our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/mary-grey-loose-leaf-tea\"\u003eMary Grey\u003c\/a\u003e, full of fruity, citrus flavour and cheerful marigold petals.

High in rainfall and influenced by the Indian Ocean monsoons, these tea gardens were among the first to be planted in Sri Lanka, giving rise to an industry that today employs around 5% of the nation's population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the origin of our Lady Grey tea's name – it's a nod to the wife of Prime Minister Earl Charles Grey, the reformist British prime minister from 1830 to 1834, and who the original Earl Grey tea is named for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIf you love this loose leaf tea…\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Earl Grey lovers, our bestselling \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/earl-grey-loose-leaf-tea?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=95471b7af\u0026amp;_ss=r\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003eSupreme Earl Grey\u003c\/a\u003e will make a classic addition to your kitchen cabinet, and is also available in teabags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy the fragrant aroma of bergamot and black tea with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/classic-earl-grey-candle?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=d2a37b016\u0026amp;_ss=r\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003eClassic Earl Grey candle\u003c\/a\u003e, part of our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/collections\/tea-scented-candles\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003etea-scented candle \u003c\/a\u003ecollectio\u003cspan id='\\\"isPasted\\\"'\u003en\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Tea Makers of London","offers":[{"title":"50g Pack","offer_id":40373012463815,"sku":"13111TAS","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125g Caddy","offer_id":40373012496583,"sku":"13111CAD","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g Pack","offer_id":40373012529351,"sku":"13111S","price":15.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg Pack","offer_id":40373012562119,"sku":"13111","price":43.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/0593\/2743\/products\/Product-15-Mary-Grey-Black-Tea-Loose-Leaf-Macro-Web.jpg?v=1625136755"},{"product_id":"margarets-hope","title":"Margaret's Hope - Darjeeling Second Flush","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith its warm, floral aroma, this second flush Darjeeling black tea is sourced from the prestigious Margaret's Hope Tea Estate in West Bengal, India and produces a delightful amber-coloured infusion that makes for refined all-day drinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicked in summer, Darjeeling district second flush teas are famous for their distinctive full bodied muscatel flavour, and this mildly astringent example is no exception. An FTGFOP1 (FTGFOP1 Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe grade 1) tea, it's medium in strength and is mildly fruity. Characterised by brown and silvery rolled leaves, it offers beguiling muscatel and spiced-plum flavours.

The story goes that when Cruikshank's daughter, Margaret, visited the tea garden, she fell in love with its stunning natural beauty and vowed to return. However, after Margaret died aboard the ship sailing her back to England, her heartbroken father renamed the garden Margaret's Hope, in her honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternatives to this delicious black tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its teas that range dramatically in flavour and style depending on flushes and different terroir, Darjeeling is a wonderful region for tea aficionados to explore.

Harvested in a low-elevation tea garden 130m above sea level, the leaves are small and dark gold when dried, delivering the beautiful caramel aroma and brisk flavour that are hallmarks of teas from Ratnapura.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRatnapura receives more than 2,500mm of rainfall each year, which helps to ensure lush green buds every season and adds to the bold character of teas grown here, including our Ceylon Breakfast Black Tea blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to orthodox production methods at Nawalakanda tea factory, this breakfast tea has a more robust flavour than some of the higher elevation Sri Lankan styles you might try (such as our Orthodox Ceylon Nuwara Eliya tea), but if you're after an authentic Ceylon brew, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt The Tea Makers, we pride ourselves on dealing directly with many of Sri Lanka’s best producers, and this luxury tea is no exception.

Settling in the country’s fertile central highlands, the Victorian tea pioneers converted vast tracts of forest to agriculture, quickly discovering the suitability of Camellia sinensis to the region’s rich soils, varied elevation and monsoonal microclimates. Ranging from cool and wet to warm and dry, these microclimates give Ceylon tea its unique character and diversity. They also helped cement the success of an industry that by the late 1920s Sri Lanka, headed by the Sri Lanka tea board, was exporting some 100,000 tonnes of tea to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternatives to this delicious loose leaf tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like our Ceylon Breakfast Black Leaf Tea’s brisk, bold style, try drinking it as an iced tea, alternatively do try our other classic breakfast brews: English Breakfast, Assam Breakfast and Irish Breakfast, they make for perfect all-day drinking – either black for a vegan tea or with a generous splash of milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s more to Ceylon black tea than breakfast.
