Origin 

Hunan, China Renowned for its aroma and unique rolled appearance, Jasmine Pearls is a representative of China's fine, handcrafted teas. In making Jasmine Pearls, only the choicest leaves are used. After plucking, the tea leaves are 'withered' on traditional bamboo trays to reduce moisture, making them conducive to hand rolling. Most mature leaves are plucked off, leaving the newly- sprouted buds and their long stems to be rolled into pearls.

Jasmine Infusion 

In the summer, when Jasmine flowers are at their most fragrant, the pearls are scented overnight in a room with thousands of blossoms. High grade Jasmine Pearls undergo this process at least five times.

Sweet Fragrance 

Jasmine flowers have a sweet and soothing fragrance that can be enjoyed with every brewed cup.

Handrolling

The technique for handrolling pearls 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 and then fired over low heat. One pound of tea is composed of nearly 2000 pearls.
