What is Jasmine Dragon Pearls Tea?
Known in China as Mo Li Hua Zhu, Jasmine Dragon Pearls is a traditional Chinese tea made by hand-rolling premium green tea leaves into small pearls before naturally scenting them with jasmine flowers.
Unlike lower-quality flavoured teas, authentic jasmine dragon pearls tea gains its aroma through a labour-intensive scenting process where fresh jasmine blossoms are layered amongst the tea leaves. As the flowers open overnight, their natural fragrance infuses the tea leaves before the flowers are removed.
When steeped, the pearls slowly unfurl to reveal beautifully preserved tea leaves, producing a delicate yet intensely floral cup with remarkable complexity.
