About Our Organic Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine Green (茉莉花茶, Molihua Cha) is LRC's #1 seller for a reason. The scent hits first — that's not an accident. "The scent of the Jasmine tea is really what got us," said Dennis. "Ridiculously rich." Then the cup follows: smooth, balanced, not overly floral. "I've forgotten it steeping before, but it's never come out too bitter," wrote Emily. That's a loose-leaf tea that works with you.

This is the classic northern Chinese everyday tea — what's poured when guests sit down in Beijing, what the bins at every neighborhood shop are full of. Ours is from Wuyuan County in Jiangxi, where Wuyuan tea firms won medals at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition for their jasmine-scented teas. The green tea base and jasmine flowers are grown organically by the same farmers through a worker-owned cooperative. Traditional three-day proximity scenting — flowers near leaves, not buried under them. You'll find the occasional petal; that's the tell.

Works morning, afternoon, hot, cold. Multiple infusions. Organic.

Brewing Guidelines for Organic Jasmine Green Tea

2:30 MIN

180 F

1 TSP - 1.75G PER CUP

Brewing Guidelines are for one 8 oz. cup.

The best way to brew your tea is the way you like - don't let anyone tell you different. Our guidelines are configured for making your tea a cup at a time - maybe with our stainless tea filter. If making by the pot, maintain temperature and time but try with slightly less tea than the math would suggest.

For more brewing instructions, read our brewing guidelines.

What Makes a Good Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine green tea has been made for at least 800 years. In northern China, Beijing especially, it's the default: the tea in every neighborhood shop, the one poured when guests arrive, the cup that doesn't require explanation. Its longevity isn't mystery; it's reliability. Jasmine sits well with almost everyone, brews forgiving, and ages into a daily ritual faster than any other tea in the collection.

How it's made — and why it matters

The difference between good jasmine tea and the rest comes down to one thing: scented versus flavored. Cheap jasmine tea is made with jasmine extract or synthetic oil sprayed on low-grade leaves. You can taste it: the floral note is aggressive upfront, doesn't change as the tea steeps, and vanishes fast. Scented jasmine tea is made differently. Fresh jasmine flowers (picked in early morning, kept cool through the day) are layered near the tea leaves as evening temperatures drop and the buds open. The leaves absorb the jasmine fragrance overnight. Then the flowers are separated out, the tea re-dried, and the process repeats. For higher grades, multiple rounds of fresh flowers build the character in without adding anything artificial. The occasional petal in your tin is evidence: the flowers were real and they were there.

Our Jasmine Green uses a pan-fired green tea base from Wuyuan County in Jiangxi Province, a region with over a century of jasmine tea production history — including medals at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition for jasmine-scented Wuyuan teas. The green tea and jasmine flowers are both grown organically by the same farmers through a worker-owned cooperative. No synthetic scenting, no shortcuts.

Brewing

Water at 180°F. Steep 2 minutes 30 seconds. About 1 tsp (1.75g) per 8 oz cup. Start with a tablespoon in a small glass teapot; after a second steep, add a bit more tea with the third helping of hot water. The leaves will resteep well — most people get three or four good cups from the same leaves. For iced tea: cold-brew in cold water for 8–12 hours. The jasmine comes through clearly with no bitterness.

Both tea and jasmine flowers are USDA Organic certified. Sourced directly through a worker-owned cooperative in Jiangxi.

FAQ

What does Jasmine Green Tea taste like?

The jasmine fragrance is the entry point — prominent but not synthetic or soapy. The green tea underneath is smooth, slightly sweet, clean. "Well balanced, not overly floral," wrote Matthew. The finish is light and uplifting rather than heavy or perfumed. Hot or iced, the character holds.

Is this a good everyday tea?

It's our best-selling tea. Customers describe morning pots, afternoon cold brew batches, late-afternoon cups at the office. "I drink it around 2x a day now," wrote Veronica. The flavor is consistent across steeps and it doesn't require any particular care to brew well.

How much caffeine does Jasmine Green Tea have?

Green teas have measured about 12–50 mg per cup in published lab analysis (not our own tea), a range that overlaps oolong and black tea almost completely and sits well under a typical coffee. Steep time and water temperature move it most; a shorter, cooler steep means less. Calm, sustained energy; no jitters.

Can I steep the leaves more than once?

Yes. Most people get three or four good steeps. Add a minute or so to the steep time with each subsequent infusion. The second steep is often when the balance between the green tea base and jasmine scent is most even.

What's the difference between Jasmine Green and Jasmine Silver Needle?

Same scenting method. Different base. Jasmine Green uses a pan-fired green tea base — brighter, more structured, more assertive. Jasmine Silver Needle uses a white tea base (bud-only grade), which produces a lighter, more delicate cup. If standard jasmine feels too intense to you, Silver Needle is worth trying. If you want the classic northern Chinese everyday jasmine, this is it.

Why does organic matter especially for jasmine tea?

Jasmine flowers used in scenting aren't dried — they're fresh, and they're in direct extended contact with the tea leaves during scenting. Whatever's on the flowers goes into the tea. Non-organic jasmine frequently carries pesticide residues that end up in the finished cup. Organic certification here is relevant to what's actually in your drink, not just an abstract farming standard.

Customer Reviews for Organic Jasmine Green Tea

Drinking tea

I studied tea with a tea master and have been smelling and grading tea for my own drinking. This is an excellent tea I purchased while visiting Maine at a country fair where they generously had tea sampling and I was convinced of its excellent quality and now the only tea I drink. The name and containers are so inviting and clever which also drew me to it along with a very informative conversation with one of the owners who successful answered all my questions! Good going guys!

Dreamy and aromatic

This aromatic, fragrant tea is such a get away from it all experience for me...Every afternoon, I brew a pot at work, and just relax and unwind with this dreamy tea...and .Very uplifting!

JASMINE TEA IS A GIFT FROM GOD

I’m grateful that teavanna closed because I wouldnt have found this beautiful company, and this tea is so much better than theirs!

Oh so good

As tea goes, this one is less a morning beverage and more a mystical union. It will whisk you off to a Zen Buddhist hermitage in the T'ien Shan mountains to watch the sun rise... I highly recommend...

Love this tea

This is my first time at buying from Little Red Cup. This tea is so good and I certainly will purchase more tea from them. Plus delivery was very quick.

Jasmine Green

I've been getting little red cup jasmine green for years and I love it. It is my morning tea.

I could drink this all day!

Holy Tooth Fairy of sweetness, is it yummy! The Jasmine green teas I’ve had before do not compare with this sweet delight. The aroma is, as they say, HEADY, and the soup is a nice shade of amber. It is so sweet and it hits the tongue on the sides, almost a chewy mouthfeel. I’ve steeped it at the recommended 2g/cup, at a stronger 4g/cup, and cold brewed, and each is a different, exceptionally tasty experience. I could drink this all day!

Jasmine is pretty ridiculous

Love tea but the quality is critical since the tea plan is a powerful absorber of heavy metals. So...the organic is what attracted our attention but the scent of the Jasmine tea is really what got us! Most of taste is scent. So ridiculously rich and speaks to really quality tea. Just fantastic!

Delicious Jasmine Tea

It's just a delicious Jasmine scented green tea. It's well balanced, not overly floral and it's great both iced and hot. I typically use a very short steep time for the first brew and I find that it's good for at least 2 to 3 steeps after that if I am enjoying it hot. Iced, I might discard the first and use just enough water to cover the leaves for the second steep, leave that nice and long, add some honey to balance the stronger taste and pour into a glass full of ice and stir.

New favorite everyday tea

This tea is wonderfully smooth, and it's a great way to start the morning. Highly recommend!

A Completely Content Customer— no Qualms.

Amazingly consistent, as per usual.

From the quality of tea leaf to the personalized touches in the S&H process, Mike and his team are doing something special. Thanks again!

My favorite green tea!

I love LRC’s jasmine green tea! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smooth, light tea to enjoy any time of day. Makes a great gift, too!

Great experience from Canada!

I ordered my tea and it was at my door 2 weeks later! Amazing tea and a great experience. Thank you so much Mike. Will definitely order again in the futur.

Such a wonderful tea

Steeping time paramount with this delicate tea

took your advice in your note about the steeping with this tea being paramount. so steeped it the 2 1/2 min. found it delicious. second time waited too long, not the same. resolve to always be exacting. very pleased. thank you.

So good!

I ordered the jasmine green tea to make iced tea during the summer and its perfect! Exactly what i was looking for, and so refreshing. Thank you!

Summer never tasted so good

Bought a tin of this tea. (I drink green tea in spring and summer and ripe pu'erh and oolong in fall and winter.) This Jasmine Green Tea is amazing. Worked all morning in my garden, then stopped for a tea break. Sitting and sipping this tea surrounded by tomato plants, native perenials and singing birds made me very happy. So happy, I ordered two more tins today. Definitely my summer tea for 2025. Excellent.

Great Service

Quality Products

I love it!

I love your Jasmine tea, it’s delicious and uplifting with its lovely floral scent, important to drink this in April, when we long for flowers but the snow keeps falling….

Like a drug!

I’m a coffee person, but I had a sample of this tea and could not stop thinking about it. So, I ordered two tins! It’s a lovely tea that is light and uplifting and can be consumed all morning.

Love it

Good stuff. Not sure why I didn't do loose leaf before now, but now that I have I love it. I can definitely taste the difference in quality between tea bags and what I've been getting from Little Red Cup. No going back now. Fantastic product. I'm a convert.

Jasmine Green

I've been getting little red cup jasmine green for years and I love it. It is my morning tea.

Really good tea

Love the loose jasmine tea. More trouble than my usual teabags but the taste is worth it. Really glad I tried it.

I love this jasmine tea

This is a quality organic jasmine tea at a great price. The leaves swell quite a bit when steeped so a little goes a long way. There wasn't a lot of crappy and creepy dust at the bottom of the tin. I like this brand and will try their other teas.

Little red cup always delivers incredibly high quality tea. This is no exceptions and it’s one of my favorites. Delicious tea, but an aroma that makes it quite unique.

Perfection in a cup

My wife and I have been greatly enjoying our Organic Jasmine Green Tea. It is a superior product to any other brand we have tried in the past. We both highly recommend this company and their product.

very very good

Jasmine is pretty ridiculous

Love tea but the quality is critical since the tea plan is a powerful absorber of heavy metals. So...the organic is what attracted our attention but the scent of the Jasmine tea is really what got us! Most of taste is scent. So ridiculously rich and speaks to really quality tea. Just fantastic!

Wonderful

I love this tea. I enjoy having two or three cups in the afternoon. The flavor is fabulous and surpasses anything I can buy in the store. I feel like The Little Red Cup Tea Co. has an exceptional tea and excellent service. I'm hooked.

When I got Covid I desperately missed smelling the fragrance of this tea. Fortunately I can smell it again and it’s divine!

Obsessed!!!

A gorgeous, delicious tea. My favorite by far...it's got bite but not too bitter, it's crisp and flavorful but so comforting. It hits the spot every time. I usually like a nice jasmine green (and the fact that it was organic was important as well) but once I tried it I immediately put it on subscription. It's insanely good!

Delicious Green Tea for Me!

The smell and taste of the Jasmine Green Tea and the Gun Powder Green tea is amazing. I’m hooked and have been since my first order.

Highly Recommended!

Bought the 16oz pouch after trying some through the four-tin gift sampler. Some of the best Jasmine tea I've ever had the privilege of drinking! Helps me get through the work day like a charm. It is great to know this tea is ethically and sustainably sourced. Will be telling friends and coworkers to give this a try!

My wife's favorite summer tea

This stuff is delicious, hot or cold!

Happy

Best tea ever!

I drink this Jasmine Green every day, and it's fabulous. And I love Little Red Cup's customer service. Whenever they ship me a new pound of tea leaves they write me a little note on the card. This time it was "watch out for mud season!" (I live in Maine) Those little things mean so much in these days of horrible customer service.

Balm for my spirit

You know that the tea is the best when you find yourself at midnight or two am counting the hours until you can brew and then savor your first cup of the day. Little red cup teas fall into this category.
This jasmine tea is a gift to myself. Sometimes it’s the first cup of tea for the day and sometimes it is the tea that accompanies my hour long country road commute. And, sometimes, it goes into a thermos that I get to open during the work day. I enjoy the scent, the warmth, the flavor.

Excellent tea is a balm for my spirit. Little Red Cup teas are an important part of my day!

Wonderful

This is my favorite tea, the flavor is wonderful. My 4 year old grandson loves this tea also, whenever he is over he asked if I will make tea, which I gladly do.

Why Our Tea Is Organic

Tea is among the most heavily treated crops in conventional agriculture. When you steep tea leaves in hot water, you’re making an extraction—and that extraction doesn’t discriminate between flavor compounds and pesticide residues. Every tea we sell meets certified organic standards. Our teas are certified organic by the USDA and MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association), a leading independent organic certifier. This means no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and annual third-party inspections to verify it. We source from worker-owned cooperatives in rural, mountainous regions of China, where traditional growing methods align naturally with organic standards. These aren’t industrial plantations; they’re small farms where people have been growing tea the same way for generations. Healthier soil produces better tea. Plants grown without synthetic chemical inputs develop more complex flavor profiles. You can taste the difference.
