Like bergamot-infused Earl Grey tea, jasmine tea falls into the industry category of flavored or scented tea. This includes any type of tea that has been flavored or scented with flowers, fruit, spices, oils, extracts, and natural or artificial flavors. While jasmine’s fragrant and intoxicating scent is most famously infused into green tea, some tea gardens also produce jasmine tea with a base of white or black tea.
