This fragrant green tea is soothing to drink and magical to watch as the pearls slowly unfurl into beautiful leaf and bud sets. 

Traditional production technique is what distinguishes this lot: Crafted solely from spring-picked, southern Chinese green tea and fresh jasmine blossoms, each pearl consists of a silvery bud and tender young leaves, individually rolled by hand and later dried amid flowers to naturally absorb their intense scent. The pearls are intermingled with night-blooming jasmine over a period of five to seven evenings, which is when most of the flowers’ essential oils are released. The blossoms are carefully removed each day, leaving the tea redolent of floral sweetness.

A similar lot is available in teabags.
