Jasmine Dragon pearls
TASTING NOTES: cucumber water, pear, honey
Jasmine Dragon Pearls is a delicate, hand-rolled green tea infused with the enchanting fragrance of fresh jasmine flowers. Each pearl is crafted by layering jasmine blossoms with young green tea leaves, allowing the tea to absorb the floral aroma before the petals are removed. This traditional scenting process gives the tea its signature floral fragrance, creating a mesmerizing experience with each steep.
Upon brewing, the pearls unfurl, releasing a soft golden liquor with a fragrant, soothing jasmine aroma. The flavor is smooth and gentle, combining the natural sweetness of green tea with the delicate, slightly honeyed notes of jasmine.

Tea story
The story of Jasmine Dragon Pearls begins in the lush tea gardens of Fujian Province, a region celebrated for its ideal climate and soil conditions that are perfect for tea cultivation. Here, the tea is crafted using only the most tender young green tea leaves, carefully hand-rolled into small, tight pearls. These pearls are then scented with jasmine flowers, which are harvested at the peak of their bloom for their intensely fragrant and sweet aroma.
The production of Jasmine Dragon Pearls involves a careful layering process: fresh jasmine flowers are mixed with the green tea pearls, allowing the tea to absorb the floral essence over several days. This intricate process infuses the tea with a deep, lingering jasmine fragrance that emerges when the pearls are steeped. The result is a tea that is not only visually stunning but also aromatic and flavorful, embodying the harmony of nature and human touch.
