Our Jasmine Golden Pearls are scented only by blossoms. This unusual tea has a premium black tea base rolled into large variegated pearls. After the black tea is finished, it is misted to soften the leaves. A small piece of cloth (large candy wrapper size) is used to shape and roll the tea by hand into pearls. After shaping, the tea is dried briefly, scented with jasmine blossoms and dried again. Extra care and skill is required as the black tea is more difficult to work with because the leaves are less pliant than green tea. The pearls brew a delightfully perfumed cup of caramel-colored liquor with refreshing essence of flowers. Use 1 rounded teaspoon (3g) dry leaves per 6 ounces spring water heated to a temperature of 80° to 90° C. (180° to 195° F.), steeping for 4 minutes. This tea can handle multiple infusions.
