In the heart of Fujian province, cradle of China's most prestigious teas, a wonder is born: jasmine pearls. This exceptional tea, as delicious as it is rare, represents the perfect alliance between the refinement of white tea and the delicacy of jasmine flowers. This unique creation, fruit of thousand-year-old expertise, embodies the excellence of Chinese tea craftsmanship.

What are Jasmine Pearls?

Initially known as a Chinese green tea, this unique type of tea stands out for its distinctive appearance. Expert artisans carefully select the buds and young shoots to transform them into pearl shapes. This exceptional harvest, from organic farming, enhances the thousand-year-old tradition of tea cultivation. Each pearl, carefully handcrafted, represents a concentration of flavors and essence that gradually reveals itself during infusion.

What is the origin of jasmine pearls?

The origin of tea dates back to the ancient dynasties of Fujian province, where this rare tea was reserved for the imperial elite. Known as "Dragon Pearls" in antiquity, this scented green tea embodies the excellence of Chinese craftsmanship. Legend has it that the first Tang dynasty emperors were so seduced by its fragrance that they made it an imperial tribute, thus marking the beginning of its fame.

The traditional enfleurage method

The tea leaves, carefully selected, are rolled into pearls before being put in contact with fresh jasmine flowers. This process, repeated several times, gives this Chinese white tea its exceptional bouquet. The enfleurage process, a true art in itself, traditionally takes place during summer nights, when jasmine flowers release their most intense fragrances.

The flowers are harvested at dawn, when their fragrance reaches its peak. The artisans then alternate layers of fresh flowers and tea pearls for several consecutive nights, allowing for a natural infusion of aromas. This patience and expertise guarantee the exceptional quality of the final product.

The Taste Characteristics of Jasmine Pearls

This jasmine white tea offers a smooth liquor with floral notes of high quality. A unique sensory explosion, making this grand cru a reference among jasmine teas. The tasting reveals a complex aromatic bouquet that unfolds in several stages.

A Grand Cru with Floral and Fresh Notes

The jasmine notes, delicately intertwined with those of the tea, create a gustatory symphony that delights even the experienced customer. On the palate, you first discover a characteristic floral sweetness, followed by light vegetal notes and a subtly sweet finish that pleasantly lingers.

Organic Quality and Health Benefits

Our jasmine pearls are cultivated according to ancestral techniques that respect the environment. The dragon pearls, as connoisseurs affectionately call them, combine gustatory pleasure and health benefits. Rich in natural antioxidants, this tea contributes to daily well-being while offering a moment of pure relaxation.

How to prepare jasmine pearls?

  • Ideal temperature: 75-80°C
  • Steeping time: 2-3 minutes
  • Dosage: one spoon per cup
  • Can be re-infused 2-3 times

Like precious jade pearls, each infused pearl majestically unfolds in hot water, releasing subtle flavors without any bitterness. This hypnotic dance transforms each infusion into an exceptional moment. Using a glass teapot allows you to observe this fascinating spectacle where the pearls slowly unfold, releasing their precious aromas.

The Art of Tasting

To fully appreciate this exceptional nectar, we recommend tasting in several stages. Start by observing the color of the liquor, with its characteristic luminous jade. Then inhale the fragrances escaping from your cup, already revealing the aromatic complexity that awaits you. Finally, savor in small sips to perceive the evolution of flavors on the palate.

Storage and Expert Advice

To preserve all the subtlety of this white tea, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place, away from light and strong odors. Ideally, use an airtight ceramic or metal container, which will effectively protect your precious pearls.

Advanced Tasting Tips

Connoisseurs particularly enjoy varying the infusion parameters to explore different facets of this complex tea. A shorter infusion (1-2 minutes) will reveal more delicate floral notes, while a slightly longer infusion will allow you to appreciate the complete structure of the tea and its deeper notes.

An Investment in Excellence

Choosing jasmine pearls means opting for the excellence of a product from an exceptional terroir and ancestral expertise. Each batch is carefully selected and controlled to ensure consistent quality. Product freshness is ensured through optimized packaging and rigorous stock management.
