Calling people with large tea cupboards

Can you help me identify a specific brand of tea based on what I recall of its box design? I used it up, recycled the packaging, and foolishly thought I'd be able to find it again easily.
It was a green jasmine tea, in bags (don't start with me!) and I liked it more than the easily-attained options because it seemed to have more pungent jasmine scent and a sweeter overall herbal flavor. I do not recall where I attained this box of tea.
The box was purple, a sort of gradient of darker and lighter purples, with a (brown?) teapot on the front. I think the lettering was perhaps gold or cream? I could be misremembering but I think the bags didn't have tags.
A perusal through the first few hundred results on Amazon for "jasmine green tea" gave me no leads. Perhaps this is a brand that has changed its packaging? An odd import I picked up at the Asian market? It is possible the tea was rather old, because my tea cupboard is large and I didn't drink green jasmine very often, but the past few months my cravings have increased.
I have lots of loose leaf jasmine to sample, but if you know if a particularly jasmine-heavy brand of tea BAGS for me to try, feel free to suggest it. (I've already rejected Choice, Stash, Taylors of Harrogate, Bigelow, and Twinings as flavor matches.)

An image search on Google for "jasmine green tea bags" turns up lots of pics of tea boxes. A little way down I see a purple box with a brown teapot, could that be it? Can't enlarge it on mobile, but maybe that will put you on the right track?
