Origin
Hunan, China Renowned for their aroma and appearance, Jasmine Pearls are a fine representative of the art of Chinese handcrafted teas.
Choicest Leaves
In making Jasmine Pearls, only the choicest leaves of the tea plant are used. After plucking, the leaves are 'withered' on traditional bamboo trays to reduce their moisture, making them supple and condusive for hand rolling. Mature leaves are then removed leaving only the newly sprouted bud and its long stem.
Handrolling
The technique for handrolling pearl takes years to master. Using a soft cotton paper, the top bud and stem are gently twisted between the thumb and index finger into a small 'pearl' shape. After firing over low heat, each pearl is removed from the paper. One pound of tea is composed of nearly 2000 pearls.
Jasmine Infusion
In the summer, when Jasmine flower are at their most fragrant, the pears are scented overnight in a room with thousands of blossoms. High grade Jasmine Pearls undergo this process at least five time.
Sweet Fragrance
Jasmine is one of the sweetest, most soothing aromatic flowers. Jasmine Pearls captures this essence in every brewed cup.
Suggested Use
Brewing
Steep one level teaspoon of pearls in eight ounces of pure spring or filtered water of 175F for four minutes. Provides at least three infusions.
