The Crown Jewel This is the finest Jasmine tea we offer. Each "pearl" is a single bud and leaf, hand-rolled into a tight ball to lock in freshness. These pearls are then buried in mounds of fresh jasmine flowers for seven nights, absorbing the fragrance deep into the leaf. It is a labor-intensive work of art that tastes as beautiful as it looks. Why It Works Because the leaf is tightly rolled, the essential oils are protected from the air until you brew them. This means the flavor is significantly more intense and long-lasting than standard loose leaf. As the pearls hit the hot water, they "dance" and unfurl, releasing a perfume that fills the entire room. The Visual Ritual Use glass. You are missing half the experience if you brew this in a ceramic mug. Use a glass cup or teapot. Drop in the pearls and watch them slowly untangle and expand into whole leaves. It is a mesmerizing slow-motion bloom.
