The Emperor of China loved the scent of jasmine. Yet the life of these flowers is fleeting! So he decided to summon the wise tea master, Lao Cha:
– Tell me, Sifu, how can I enjoy the wonderful aroma of jasmine year-round?
The wise master had an answer:
– As usual, pick the tea leaves in Spring. Save them until summertime when the jasmine in Fujian province starts to bloom. Await nightfall, when the gentle jasmine flower blossoms, and leave it alone with the tea leaves. Allow for them to seep into one another. Year-round, you will be able to rejoice in the scent of jasmine while enjoying the tea. In addition, your body will be grateful for the tea’s wonderful healing qualities.
Jasmine "Dragon Pearls" (Long Zhu – 龙珠) is a deliciously sweet green tea that combines green tea with the fragrance of jasmine. Made from unopened buds and small leaves, this tea is hand-rolled into small balls, which slowly unfurl during brewing, releasing a fantastic taste and refreshing fragrances of green tea and sweet jasmine.
To make Jasmine Tea, the tea leaves are harvested in the early Spring and then stored until late Summer, when Jasmine flowers start blooming. The flowers are picked in the early morning when the petals are still closed. Once harvested, they are kept cool until nightfall. During the night, jasmine flowers open, releasing the exquisite fragrance, and the scenting takes place.
During the process of making jasmine tea, tea buds get scented with the jasmine flowers a total of 5 times, each time replacing the used jasmine buds with new ones. This way, tea leaves are infused with an intensive flower scent while retaining the qualities of the pure raw material without additives.
Making Jasmine green tea is a laborious process that takes time and effort. To save both, some producers would use scented oils or flavorings. They will then scent the tea leaves during their processing. Our tea uses only natural jasmine petals and sticks to a traditional way of production.
Sipping on our "Dragon Pearls" Jasmine Green Tea is a memorable, profoundly aromatic moment. The green tea brings bright, refreshing notes. The jasmine mixes in its exotic fragrance. The green tea awakens and invigorates the senses with its lively energy, while jasmine naturally balances the mood and calms the mind with its enchanting scent.

Scents of pristine green tea and intense jasmine reached my nose as soon as I opened the bag, delivered this afternoon from Path of Cha.
Sipping sweet, clean green tea with olfactory indulged by alluring jasmine is a journey to behold!
I recommend that you embark on this heavenly trip that you’ll cherish, alone and with loved ones.
Easily the best Jasmine pearls I’ve ever had. The Jasmine aroma is sweet and light but also slightly tart. Very smooth and sweet tea with well rounded flavor. Second steep is almost as nice as the first.
I have three types of this tea, to my great surprise during the tasting, only this one had the leaves intact when the pearls opened, the others I tried did have broken leaves, tea dust, which in itself is already a terrible connotation, i mean to drink a tea which has many residues, unlike this one which was completely transparent, very fragrant, very direct and intense, but you have to be careful because if you push too hard on the infusions or wait too long it almost taste like a bar of soap, certainly you can't say that jasmine in this case is subtle or that we have to wait for it, coming from paradise maybe, when tried this tea I ran on the website and bought it again!
My favorite tea I've ordered from here so far. The pleasant jasmine aroma and sweet taste are very relaxing and it never gets old. They say, "It's better to be deprived of food for 3 days, than tea for one." And this tea might make me agree.
I tried to describe this tea using the laminated tea tasting wheel that I refer to in order to sound refined. But, all I can say is that this tea makes me weak in the knees. I served it up with an audio book of David Whyte reading his own poetry. If that sounds like a good combo to you, I’ll see you in swoonsville.
Haha, that's the best review! Thank you, Anna!:)))
