Jasmine Grey – gold in a cup

Jasmine Grey is a unique interpretation of the classic Earl Grey tea, one of the most recognizable teas in the world, whose history dates back to the 19th century and is linked to the legend of British Prime Minister, Count Charles Grey. The bergamot-infused tea was supposedly a gift from a Chinese mandarin whose drowning son was saved by one of the count's men. Another story has it that bergamot oil was added to the tea because the water on the count's estate was very hard and high in calcium, which gave it an unpleasant aftertaste. Over time, Earl Grey has seen many variations, one of the most interesting being Jasmine Grey – a tea that combines the classic base of black tea with the aroma of bergamot and the floral accent of jasmine.

Jasmine has been prized for centuries in Asian countries not only for its fragrance but also for its relaxing and mood-boosting properties. Used to flavor green teas in China, it eventually found its way into black tea blends, lending them a delicate and elegant touch. Jasmine Grey, therefore, represents a convergence of two worlds: the European tradition of Earl Grey and the Asian art of combining tea with flowers. The result is an infusion of extraordinary character, rightly described by some as "gold in a cup." The combination of bergamot and jasmine creates a multifaceted flavor profile—fresh and floral, yet deep and elegant. This composition stands out from classic Earl Greys and demonstrates the richness and diversity of the tea world.

Taste and aroma

The base is black tea, whose strong, deep character is softened by the addition of jasmine tea, jasmine flowers, and sunflower seeds. The natural aroma of bergamot complements this – the same aroma that has made Earl Grey one of the most prized blends in the world since the 19th century. The result is an infusion with an intense color and a multi-dimensional flavor profile. On the one hand, we have a distinctive base of black tea with a slight bitterness and depth, on the other – the citrus freshness of bergamot. Jasmine flowers impart a soft, floral note that harmonizes with the citrus, while sunflower petals brighten the tea and make it more striking. The overall effect is aromatic, full-bodied, and refreshing, yet also surprising with the subtle sweetness of jasmine.

For whom?

This tea will appeal to those who appreciate classics but also enjoy new combinations. It will appeal to Earl Grey lovers who would like to try its more floral version, as well as to those who reach for jasmine teas and want to discover their other facets. It can also be an interesting option for those seeking an elegant tea to serve to guests. Thanks to its striking appearance and harmonious flavor, it is suitable for both everyday use and special occasions.

How to brew Jasmine Grey tea?

Pour 200 ml of water at 100°C over one teaspoon of dried herb (approx. 2–3 g) and steep for 3–5 minutes. Brewing time determines the infusion's character. A few minutes produces a light and floral effect, while a longer steeping accentuates the depth and citrusy notes of bergamot. The tea tastes good neat, as well as with a pinch of cane sugar or a slice of lemon.

Why is it worth having in your offer?

Jasmine Grey expands the classic range of flavored teas with an intriguing, floral-citrus twist.
