The perfect balance between green tea and jasmine. A tribute to an ancient Chinese tradition.
As a perfumer, Kilian Hennessy loves to travel. An encounter with jasmine tea in rural China made him obsessed with the regal infusion: he watched jasmine flowers handpicked at dawn, laid onto dry tea leaves, then repeated so that the natural perfume deeply infused the tea.
This sensory experience and, later, the tasting ritual kilian describes as “A Delicious Moment That You Wish Never Ends”. To make this luxury last forever, when Kilian returned to Paris, he wanted to capture it in a perfume.
Imperial Tea represents jasmine tea of a quality reserved only for the imperial royal family.
