About This Tea
From the renowned tea-growing region of Fujian in China comes Jasmine Pearl (Dragon Phoenix Pearl), a tea prized by connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. The leaves are pan-fired in large woks to stop oxidation, a technique that imparts a subtly different character from Japanese steaming methods, a method that has been refined over centuries to capture the essence of the terroir in every cup. The specific microclimate of Fujian — its rainfall patterns, altitude, and soil composition — contributes to a flavor profile that cannot be truly replicated anywhere else in the world.
When properly prepared, Jasmine Pearl (Dragon Phoenix Pearl) delivers a remarkable sensory journey. The aroma offers intense jasmine with honeyed sweetness, setting the stage for a taste that is rich, sweet jasmine with smooth green tea. No two infusions are exactly alike — the leaves continue to reveal different facets of their character with each steeping. The caffeine profile of this tea is noteworthy: it is moderate in caffeine with 20-35 mg per cup, providing gentle alertness without the jitters.
Chinese tea culture, one of the oldest and most sophisticated in the world, has elevated tea preparation and appreciation to an art form spanning thousands of years.
Preparing Jasmine Pearl (Dragon Phoenix Pearl) requires attention to temperature and timing. Water at 80°C to 85°C brings out the best qualities of the leaf, while steeping for 1 to 2 minutes achieves the ideal balance of flavor and body. A ratio of 2.5g per 100ml of water is recommended. With up to 4 possible infusions, each cup provides a new opportunity to appreciate the nuances of this exceptional tea.
Today, Jasmine Pearl (Dragon Phoenix Pearl) continues to be celebrated both in its homeland and by tea enthusiasts around the world.
