Jasmine Pearls – Hand-Rolled Jasmine Green Tea
Delicate, hand-rolled pearls of green tea unfurl gracefully during steeping—revealing both their beauty and their exquisite flavor. Scented multiple times with night-blooming jasmine blossoms, this traditional Chinese tea is as sensual as it is soothing, with a heady floral aroma and smooth, lingering finish.
Crafted primarily in Fujian Province, Jasmine Pearls represent centuries of artisanal tea-making. The painstaking process of layering fresh jasmine flowers over dried pearls (then removing and repeating the process over several nights) results in a deeply aromatic brew that never tastes perfumed or artificial. It's no wonder this is our namesake tea.
A true pleasure to watch and to sip, Jasmine Pearls can be steeped multiple times—each infusion bringing a slightly different expression of this elegant tea.

Brewing Instructions
8 oz Cup
- Scoop a heaping teaspoon of tea into infuser.
- Heat water to 190° F (before boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-5 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea. Can be steeped multiple times.
Potful
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoon of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 190° F water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and enjoy. Can be steeped multiple times.
Brewing Iced Tea
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
