An age old tradition handed down from generation to generation; our Imperial Jasmine Dragon Pearls are the best you can buy. Crafted in Fujian Province in China, aromatic night blooming jasmine flowers are layered between fresh young luxury green tea leaves and buds eight to ten times- infusing the tea with their distinct and exquisite floral aroma. The jasmine infused tea is then rolled at a ratio of two leaves to one unopened bud into small “pearls”.
Unique in flavor; jasmine is a one of a kind floral taste, incredibly delicate yet bold simultaneously. While being infused in your cup, our Imperial Jasmine Dragon Pearls showcase the traditional craftsmanship while the gorgeous pearls unfurl majestically, releasing the perfect blend of delicate jasmine and luxury green tea.
Newly received from Tealyra, I brewed a teaspoon of the green tea jasmine-scented pearls grandpa style in 8 oz boiling water. I began sipping after a minute or so of steeping. As the pearls unfurled, beautiful large leaves and buds swirled in my cup, amidst a clear golden-green liquor, and the powerful jasmine scent filled my nose. I loved the authentic jasmine fragrance, and it took me back to my childhood play amongst the jasmine hedge we had in California. I relaxed and took my time sipping the tea, allowing the floral notes to waft in my face and fill my sinuses. The base green tea was enjoyable too, but very mild and I found it difficult to call out any specific flavor notes, so distracting was the jasmine as to render the infusion pretty one-dimensional. Only in the finish could I appreciate the sweet vegetal tea notes. Not sure at all what type of green tea was used as base, but it wasn’t a small-leaf variety, nor long jing. I suppose the nuances of specialized leaf would have been overwhelmed by the jasmine, or potentially overpowered the jasmine! I recommend for jasmine lovers, and give a rating of 75.
Flavors: Jasmine, Vegetal
Mixed 80% pearls with 20% milk oolong- so good! I would probably do a bit less milk oolong next time, because the milk flavor still overpowers the jasmine more than I would like. Still really tasty, and not sure why I didn’t mix the two sooner.
