Louise the tea taster says

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. Steeped 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". They get their 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!

How does it taste?

Very delicate green tea with a light, floral, refreshing, natural jasmine taste.

Good if you're feeling

How we like it

Brew Time

Boiling Water
Brew for 3+ minutes

One tea temple per person, infused with water at 80 degrees C. (If you don't have a fancy kettle or thermometer to hand, grabbing the kettle just before it boils will do the job!) .
Loose tea - 4 to 6 pearls per person. Infuse for 3+ minutes.

Whole leaves take longer to brew, but the little wait is definitely worth it

How we like it

Au naturel - glass teapot, jasmine pearls, add water and relax.

Beautifully delicate

I have to say prior to drinking this I detested green tea due to its bitter taste. This has no bitterness at all and is a delight to drink.

I'm turning into a real tea hog.....

Incredible tea!

This tea is absolutly like magic. I havnt tried any of the traditional tea`s from china but i dont know how big tea brands like tetly or yorkshire tea end up selling such bland tea and making millions when this tea is on the market!

Best Jasmine tea, ever!

I grew up in Luxembourg and often ate at Chinese restaurants, where it was customary amongst our circle of friends to have a pot of jasmine tea with our meal.

Not since those days (over 20 years ago) have I tasted such delicious jasmine tea!! Every cup I drink takes me straight back to my teens and all those happy memories. And of course it's incredibly refreshing and thirst-quenching. The mild yet intense aroma permeates through the room every time I brew a cup and it makes me feel happy. Thank you Teapigs!!
