Fuzhou Jasmine Dragon Pearl

This hand-rolled green tea from the Fuzhou, Fujian province of China, infused with the delicate scent of night-blooming jasmine. Each pearl is made up of just one leaf and an unopened bud, which unfolds to release a delicate floral fragrance, and a liquor of soft texture and delicately dry finish. While these pearls are not the largest or the most evenly-rolled we've seen, we could not pass up the complex elegance of this tea and its quietly hypnotic jasmine fragrance. Fuzhou, Fujian Jasmine Dragon Pearl is a treat for all jasmine lovers.
