Numi Organic Jasmine Green Tea — 54 Compostable Tea Bags, Real Jasmine Flowers & Fair Trade

Numi Organic Jasmine Green Tea is a delicately scented green tea made by layering and rescenting whole tea leaves with real night-blooming jasmine, delivering a floral, smooth cup in compostable, plastic-free tea bags.

This jasmine green tea blends USDA Organic leaves sourced from Jiangxi, China, with hand-layered jasmine blossoms using a traditional scenting method repeated three times for depth. The result is a gentle, fragrant brew with moderate caffeine and a floral character achieved without artificial flavorings. Numi emphasizes environmental and social responsibility: Fair Trade sourcing, BPI Certified Biodegradable tea bags made from manila hemp, and plant-based outer wrappers that are commercially compostable.

What makes this jasmine green tea different from flavored tea blends?

Rather than adding synthetic jasmine flavor, the tea leaves are physically layered with fresh night-blooming jasmine and rescented three times so the petals impart aroma naturally. This longer process yields a subtler, more authentic floral profile and avoids artificial extracts.

• Real jasmine blossoms folded through the tea leaves
• Rescenting repeated three times for nuanced fragrance
• No artificial jasmine flavorings or shortcuts
• Medium caffeine level suited to multiple daily occasions

How should I brew Numi Jasmine Green for best flavor?

Use hot water below boiling—about 160–180°F (70–82°C)—and steep for 2–3 minutes to extract the floral notes without bitterness. Shorter steeping keeps the cup bright and delicate; a slightly longer steep gives fuller body but may increase astringency.

• Water temperature: hot, not boiling (160–180°F / 70–82°C)
• Steep time: 2–3 minutes for optimal balance
• One tea bag per 8–12 oz cup; adjust to taste
• Can be brewed slightly stronger for iced tea preparations

Are the tea bags and packaging truly plastic-free and eco-friendly?

Yes — the tea bags are woven from manila hemp (Abacá) fiber and sealed with a crimp-and-knot process instead of plastic heat seals, and they carry BPI Certified Biodegradable status. The outer wrappers are plant-based, commercially compostable, and made from FSC-certified paper combined with non-GMO sugarcane, supporting compostability and reduced plastic waste.

• BPI Certified Biodegradable tea bags with no added plastics
• Crimp-and-knot sealing avoids polypropylene contact
• Plant-based, commercially compostable outer wrappers
• Supplier-verified to be free of microplastics

How does Fair Trade sourcing affect the tea and communities?

The tea is harvested from Jiangxi, China’s first Fair Trade tea garden, where Fair Trade revenue has increased worker wages and funded education programs. Choosing this tea supports more equitable pay and community investments tied to Fair Trade standards.

• From Jiangxi — certified Fair Trade garden
• Fair Trade sales contributed to 30–40% wage increases
• Funds helped support children’s education to high school and beyond
• Certified Organic and Climate Neutral credentials reinforce sustainability

Who is this tea for? Numi Organic Jasmine Green is aimed at anyone seeking a refined, floral green tea experience without artificial flavors—tea drinkers who value authentic aroma, moderate caffeine, and transparent sustainability practices. It's suitable for daily enjoyment at home, mild afternoon refreshment, or as a thoughtful eco-conscious gift for someone who appreciates ethically sourced, compostable tea packaging.
