How Much Caffeine Is in Jasmine Tea?
Jasmine tea is green tea (or sometimes white or black tea) scented with jasmine flowers. The caffeine comes entirely from the tea base. For standard jasmine green tea, expect 25-35 mg per 8 oz cup.
About 30 mg per cup — similar to steeped green tea.
How it compares
Jasmine flowers don't contribute caffeine; they contribute aroma. The caffeine count tracks whatever tea base was used. Jasmine pearl varieties tend to be slightly stronger because the rolled leaves release more over a longer steep.
| Drink | Caffeine (mg) |

| Jasmine green tea (8 oz) | 30 |
| Jasmine pearl (8 oz, 3 min) | 40 |

Frequently asked
Do jasmine flowers contain caffeine?
No — jasmine blossoms contribute zero caffeine. All the caffeine in jasmine tea comes from the underlying tea leaves.
Does jasmine pearl tea have more caffeine than jasmine green?
Slightly. Pearls are made from tippy leaves rolled tight, which holds more caffeine per gram and releases it steadily across multiple steeps.
