The Duke of Tuscany first brought jasmine to India in 1690, a flower native to Arabia. Whether fresh or dried, they still play a key role in the myths, legends and daily rituals of India.
Sometimes, jasminum sambac perfumes loose tea; other times it is woven into floral necklaces. Spiritually revered, the fragrant flower becomes an offering in Hindu temples.
