Guangdong Province Jasmine Pearls ZJ85

Green Tea by Upton Tea Imports

Tightly rolled leaf bud sets scented with an alluring fruity nuance. This is a more affordable alternative to our extremely popular Dragon Phoenix Pearl.

This morning I brewed 3 teaspoons of the pearls in .75L of water. I’m trying to make it a bit stronger, but it still was fairly weak. Not sure if that’s how the pearls are (more subtle) or if I just need to add more pearls. Will keep experimenting

Brewed 2T of pearls in .6L of water for 5 minutes. The tea still tastes weak.

Lovely, subtle jasmine scent if you’re into that sort of thing. Steeps to a golden pale hue if held for more than four minutes. Not astringent, I think it would also make a good iced tea as well.
I cannot compare it to ZJ90 off the top my head since I cannot recall ZJ90 clearly. Highly recommended for jasmine lovers.
