Origin

Hunan, China Renowned for their aroma and appearance, Jasmine Pearls are a fine representative of the art of Chinese handcrafted teas.

Choicest Leaves

In making Jasmine Pearls, only the choicest leaves of the tea plant are used. After plucking, the leaves are 'withered' on traditional bamboo trays to reduce their moisture, making them supple and condusive for hand rolling. Mature leaves are then removed leaving only the newly sprouted bud and its long stem.

Handrolling

The technique for handrolling pearl 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. After firing over low heat, each pearl is removed from the paper. One pound of tea is composed of nearly 2000 pearls.
