Pearl Jasmine White tea is a unique and exquisite variety of Chinese white tea infused with the delicate fragrance of jasmine blossoms. Originating from the Fujian province in China, this tea is renowned for its tightly rolled pearls, which unfurl upon brewing, releasing a symphony of flavors and aromas.
The production of Pearl Jasmine White tea involves a meticulous process that blends traditional techniques with modern tea craftsmanship. Handpicked during the early spring, the finest white tea leaves are carefully rolled into delicate pearls, each about the size of a small bead. These pearls are then placed alongside fragrant jasmine blossoms, allowing the tea to absorb the jasmine's essence through a process called scenting.
Pearl Jasmine white tea features a harmonious blend of flavors, where the base of white tea integrates with the fragrance of jasmine blossoms. The tea's flavor profile is marked by distinct floral overtones, accompanied by subtle sweetness. This combination of flavors combines in a refreshing and lingering aftertaste, leaving a pleasant sensation on the palate. The well-balanced combination of the floral character of jasmine and the subtle sweetness of the white tea creates an engaging and well-rounded tea experience.

This pearl jasmine tea has a light and refreshing taste that we really enjoy having as an after lunch treat during the week. This specific tea is also naturally jasmine scented, using real flowers and infusing during the tea leaves processing, aiding to its smooth taste. We also just really like the cute pearl balls that the tea is rolled into and always have fun scooping them out of the bag when we steep a few cups of this tea.
