Two traditions in one cup
Jasmine isn't actually from China. It came in along the old trade routes, centuries ago, and then China made it its own. Fuzhou, down on the Fujian coast, became famous for jasmine tea, and the way they scent it there (layering fresh flowers through the leaves at night, when the blossoms open) is so old that the UN's food agency now lists it as an important agricultural heritage system. That's quite a badge for a cuppa.
Linden, or lime as we've always called the tree in Britain, is the European half. The French call the tea tilleul and drink it after dinner. And if you've ever ploughed through Proust, the famous madeleine gets dunked in a cup of lime-blossom tea. Ours uses the leaf rather than the blossom, but it's the same tree.
The raspberry leaf is the palmleaf kind grown in eastern China. Not much of it in here. It just softens the edges.
East meets West
Flowers, leaves and a bit of tradition
In Chinese herbal books, jasmine flower is described as pungent, sweet and warm. Smell counted for a lot in the old system, oddly enough. Herbalists thought fragrant things got stuck Qi moving, so if someone was feeling flat or a bit boxed in, out came the flower teas.
Linden sits in a different tradition. European herbalists have brewed it for hundreds of years as a gentle evening tisane, the kind of drink you'd make for a guest who's staying late. No grand theory to it.
Put them together and it's basically a garden in a mug. The raspberry leaf is there so the jasmine doesn't end up smelling like your nan's soap. Lovely soap, mind, but no.

How these flowers and leaves are enjoyed
You'll find these two on tea tables from Fuzhou to Lyon. What follows is tradition and taste, nothing more, so please don't read it as us saying the tea will do something for you.
After dinner, French style
Tilleul is the classic digestif tisane in France. No alcohol, just leaves.
A slow moment
Flower teas have long been made for sitting still. Pour it, smell it, don't rush it.
Later in the day
No caffeine, so it's a good one for the afternoon and evening.

What does HappyT taste like?
Floral, mainly. Jasmine leads, linden gives it a soft, slightly honeyed body, and it finishes clean. It's not a sweet tea, though plenty of people add a spoon of honey anyway.
Is it jasmine green tea?
No, and that's the bit that surprises people. It's jasmine flowers on their own, with no green tea underneath, so there's no caffeine.
Linden leaf? Never heard of it.
You probably have, just under another name. Linden is the lime tree (no relation to the fruit), the big leafy one lining half the avenues in Britain.
Why is it called HappyT?
Because it's a cheerful cup, really. We're not making any promises about mood, we just think a jasmine tea is a nice thing to have in the cupboard.
Can I drink it if I'm pregnant or taking medication?
Best to ask your GP or midwife first if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and your pharmacist if you're on regular medication. Same as you would with any herbal tea.
How long does a box last?
There are 20 bags, so a cup a day sees you through nearly three weeks. Longer if you get a second brew out of each bag, which jasmine usually allows.
