Product Description
Kilian Hennessy's inspiration: Imperial Tea is a fresh and modern homage to jasmine tea, brewed, served and enjoyed in one of China's finest traditional tea rituals.
For founder Kilian Hennessy, travel is always synonymous with surprises, new encounters and love.
This time, the sea breeze carried him to a new country where the rich tea culture has been cultivated for thousands of years.
He experienced the production of jasmine tea, in which hand-picked white flowers are stored on fermenting tea to infuse it with their oils.
He watched jasmine tea being served with floating flowers and tasted it in a moment of timelessness and elegance that he wished would never end.
One small sip and all the senses are so enchanted by the jasmine blossoms that space and time lose their meaning.
The perfume: "Imperial Tea" is a pure, linear fragrance centered around a green tea accord infused with jasmine sambac absolute.
Bergamot and laminaria algae - a rare ingredient in perfumery that lends a mineral and airy balance - capture the spray of the sea air beautifully, while the earthy notes of vetiver oil and musk give the fragrance longevity.
All the way up to heaven and back down to earth - jasmine tea is at the heart of a royal ritual that has endured for thousands of years in China.
