Sweet floral bubblegum flavour, tea becomes more structured and mineral punchy as you brew

Floral with a light sweetness on the tip of the tongue but a tartness at the back of the mouth.

Very delicious. You could also add milk to the tea, and the taste would be delicious. One of my favorite teas. Very fragrant and floral.

Very floral, a lot of jasmine in the taste. This tea reminds me of walking in a greenhouse during the spring/summer and smelling all of the different flowers. Simply beautiful!

Very floral jasmine taste with a slightly dry finish that moves to gentle sweetness after a short while. Gentle and soft tea for a relaxing afternoon outside.

Dragon Pearl Jasmine is one of those teas that is being sold in every self-respecting tea shop and is often a best seller due to its aroma and appearance. It is made from scenting Fujian Green tea and then hand rolling into balls in order to retain the fragrance of the Jasmine.

As usual, there are a wide variety of grades for Dragon Pearl Jasmine (also known as Phoenix pearl). Here are the things that you should be spotting when choosing your tea:

The tea should have a very intense almost strawberry jam sweetness on the nose. This comes from naturally infusing with fresh Jasmine flowers many times over a two week period before removing all of the dry flowers. Our Dragon Pearl Jasmine has been scented at least five times for a full aroma.
The balls should be relatively small and show some white buds. If the 'pearls' are big and do not show any white buds then the stock tea was not picked early enough and will not be rich enough in the bright aromas for a good Green tea.
