The Full Story

Green tea flower refers to the bloom of Camellia sinensis -- a small, white, faintly sweet flower with a subtle jasmine-like quality. Unlike the processed tea leaf, which smells green, vegetal, and slightly smoky, the flower itself is gently floral and barely perceptible. In perfumery, the note is a concept -- reconstructed from light florals, green tea accords, and soft white-flower materials. No commercial essential oil from tea flowers exists in standard use.
