This wonderfully fragrant Jasmine Pearl tea was previously only available from the Rare Tea Counter at the Piccadilly store and now available in this miniature Classic World Tin.
This celebrated Chinese tea is scented with whole Jasmine flowers, which are hand-harvested in the evening when the flower’s aroma is at its strongest, it is then placed with tea leaves and the scent is then left to infuse into the leaves overnight. The next day the leaves are separated and hand-rolled, creating a delicate, sweet and fragrant flavour that is perfect for drinking any time of day. Best brewed using a glass teapot to allow the leaves to be seen.
Did you know? The art of tea leaf rolling is a dedicated skill, which requires nimble and careful treatment to form a consistent and tightly-rolled Pearl.

These were a Mother’s Day gift from Ashman. I have been out of jasmine pearls for a while and really only loved Teavivre’s but I told him I wanted to try these since they are a new offering. They have previously only been available in the Piccadilly location.
My complaint against Harney’s Dragon Pearls is that I don’t care for the base. The jasmine seems okay, but the green tea is harsh and sharp to me. The attraction of the Teavivre Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls was that I love their jasmine teas pretty much across the board (they have many) and I liked the base a lot. It was calm in a cup.
I made three steeps of this. It was sipped beside my wall of jasmine vine on the patio from a tiny bamboo hat cup. The instructions call for boiling water and I wasn’t brave enough to do that on my first try with these. I used 175F, and for reference Teavivre calls for 185F for theirs. I steeped for three minutes.
I am so glad we got these! The base is just right for me. The jasmine is a little lighter than I expected and probably lighter than Teavivre’s, but it is possible that increasing the temp to what F&M calls for would bring out more jasmine. I am very happy with the base on all three steeps. The jasmine was almost all gone in the third steep but the green tea was nice.
I will try it again using their parameters now that I know I don’t have to tame a sharp green tea to enjoy it.
So glad to see that you received a jasmine green which is to your liking! Good luck fine-tuning your steep regimen!
