Jasmine Tea

One of the most well known Chinese teas, the best of which comes from the Fujian Province. During what can be an almost week long production in the finest varieties, the tea leaves are layered with jasmine blossoms, which open up at night to permeate the tea with their perfume. The higher the quality the more times this is repeated, with more care taken to remove the blossom from the finished tea. The tea can be brewed several times in off the boil water and is an aid to digestion, which is why it is served as an accompaniment to food in Chinese restaurants. Our range includes the finest classic type, Yin Hao and an array of unusual and rare specialities such as Pear Bombs. They should all be taken without milk.

Product Name	Price-	Weight
Super Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls	£15.00	100g
This is the finest grade of this popular hand rolled tea. Each kilogram in weight is made up of 14,000 pearls. Just eight will make a half pint of tea and you can use the same leaves again for at least another brew. If you do the maths you'll find it works out at just six pence a cup for one of the finest and rarest teas in the world! The tea buds that make this tea are hand picked in gardens found among the chains of mountains, hidden in mist close to the Fujian border with Jiangxi. Night blooming jasmine flowers are picked in the morning with the tiny petals tightly closed and stored until the evening. As the flowers open they make a popping sound and the process begins. The blossoms are placed between layers of white tea buds for four hours and in this finest grade the process is repeated seven times. Each time the spent flowers are carefully removed and each leaf is skillfully hand rolled into a tiny pearl size ball. The tea is then wrapped in silk mesh and carefully dried. I enjoy this tea made in a wine glass or our special 'Flowering Tea' teapot.
