Jasmine golden pearls are a unique style of tea crafted from premium black tea leaves, distinguished by their distinctively rolled shape and scented with jasmine flowers. This specialty tea undergoes a meticulous process that transforms the leaves into a pearl-like shape, tightly rolled by hand to unfurl throughout several infusions. It has a smooth maltiness along with the floral jasmine overtones.
Insider Tip: If you are a fan of our Jasmine Pearls, try this tea! Try doing multiple infusions, starting short and growing longer, and watch the leaves unfurl. This method also allows you to experience the depth of flavors these handcrafted teas can yield.
