Jasmine Phoenix Pearls

About Jasmine Phoenix Pearls

Our hand-rolled Jasmine Phoenix Pearls green tea unfold in hot water in a majestic manner, producing a soft, sensual infusion with a delicate jasmine scent. This mild tea is imbued with the fragrance of natural jasmine flowers in the height of summer and is the ideal tea to serve to guests, a tradition observed also in China, with jasmine teas being a sign of hospitality.

Cultivation

These Jasmine Phoenix Pearls, originate from the Fujian Province in China, made from young, fresh spring green tea buds covered with fluffy, white hairs. They are hand-picked, covered with jasmine blossoms for up to five nights for scenting, and then skilfully rolled.

Cultivation

This is a "pure bud" tea which means it is only composed of the finest, hand plucked buds of the tea plant very early in the spring. After a winter of resting, the young buds emerge packed with amino acids and goodness, and the sweetest flavour.

Effects

Jasmine tea not only smells seductive and tastes wonderful but also has numerous positive effects on health, thanks to the vitamins A, B12, and C it contains, as well as minerals such as fluoride, magnesium, potassium, copper, and nickel. Saponins, which serve as defensive substances in the plants, have antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Tannins, also plant compounds, have been shown in studies to have antimicrobial properties and help regulate blood pressure.

How to enjoy

Enjoy our Jasmine Phoenix Pearls tea on its own to fully appreciate the delicate jasmine aroma and the gentle green tea flavour. For a special experience, brew the pearls in a glass teapot to observe their majestic blossoming. This tea pairs wonderfully with juicy fruits like mango or strawberries, or with buttery biscuits.
