Watch the leaves open in the glass. Rose petals soften, jasmine buds unfurl and lemongrass drifts through the warm water as the cup turns a pale gold.

If this is the cup that draws you in, start with Indigo Elixir. Rose, jasmine and lemongrass are all part of its blend, alongside blue tea, lavender and rooibos. For jasmine on its own terms, Jasmine Bouquet Tea pairs it with Assam green tea, lavender and marigold.

Warm the water to 90°C, steep for 3–4 minutes and let the florals settle before your first sip. Always follow the serving directions on your tin, and check the ingredients of any blend before choosing.
