A hyperrealistic jasmine tea that's got everyone chatting, Kilian Imperial Tea is a divisive stunner. Some find its photorealistic quality breathtaking, a true tea experience in a bottle. Others are less impressed, citing fleeting longevity and a linear composition for its premium price tag. You either love its delicate simplicity or you don't.

About

Imperial Tea opens with a vibrant burst of fresh greenness, quickly melding into an authentic jasmine green tea accord. The white floral notes are pure and natural, avoiding any cloying sweetness, while the ozonic quality adds a refreshing, airy lift. It settles into a smooth, slightly woody tea scent, maintaining its clean and delicate character throughout its evolution.
