Jasmine Jade Pearls (Organic)

Rolled Chinese green tea flavored with jasmine flowers

An organic Chinese green tea flavored with jasmine and rolled into little pearls.

“Dragon Pearls”… A myth. A legend. But above all, a delicately fragrant tea!

In Southeast China, a specific skill has been passed down through the generations for more than a century. The locals meticulously shape organic Chinese green tea into delicate little pearls ready to be infused. The silver-hued buds of this organic, plain green tea are flavored with freshly picked petals of jasmine. They are then individually rolled into gorgeous little pearls. A truly artistic endeavor!

Jasmine Jade Pearls are a symbol of sophistication and are quite astonishing. They can be infused, not only once or twice, but up to five or six time for a total of 20 minutes! With each infusion, they reveal a little more of their intense jasmine notes. We personally recommend using a big enough infuser to enable the leaves to unravel before you enjoy the full flavors.

The info you need

One of the Chinese names for this tea is Me Li Long Zhu, which means “Dragon Pearls.” Dragons play a very important role in Chinese culture. Unlike Western images of dragons, they do not symbolize evil or breathe fire… Quite the opposite, in fact! Chinese dragons live in water and represent strength, happiness, and kindness. Dragons are often portrayed with pearls, which are authentic treasures. This gemstone brings joy and strength to those who possess it.
