About this tea:
Inside this packet are little pearls of hand-rolled green tea tips which have been infused with pure jasmine flowers. This is done in the most delicate of ways - the leaves are just allowed to rest amongst the flowers to pick up their floral scent - jasmine tea doesn't get any purer.
Seeped in water the leaves will unfurl from the jasmine pearl to reveal a whole leaf and a bud - surprisingly hypnotic viewing in my opinon.
These particular pearls are frequently called dragon phoenix pearls. Dragon Phoenix Pearl gets its name from the visual characteristics of the tea bushes "climbing" the hillsides like a dragon coming out of the water. Although I've seen these bushes climbing the hillside I've yet to see a dragon getting out of a bath so I can't vouch for the accuracy of this claim, unfortunately.
Taste:
very delicate green tea with a light, floral, refreshing, natural jasmine taste.
Try it:
naked... this tea alone, with hot water.
Good if you're feeling:
