Famous to the Fujian province of China, Jasmine Phoenix Pearls are young buds of spring-fresh green tea covered in downy, white hairs that are plucked, lain with jasmine flowers for five consecutive nights for scenting, and then deftly hand-rolled into beautiful jewels of tea that unfurl in hot water into a soft, sensuous infusion. This tea can be enjoyed alongside juicy fruits, the jasmine florality of the tea complementing mango, or strawberries in particular.
