A Fuzhou jasmine tea
This Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea comes from Fuzhou, Fujian. It brings the freshness of a green-tea base together with the fragrance of jasmine flowers.
The 100g box contains 20 individually portioned 5g packs. These hold loose tea to open and brew, rather than filter teabags.
Rolled into pearls, scented with flowers
Young tea buds are hand-rolled into compact pearls, then scented with jasmine. During scenting, the tea absorbs floral fragrance; the shape gradually opens in water when brewed.
Look at the tea base, aroma and finished cup as well as the leaf shape. A scenting count alone is not a complete measure of quality.
Pronounced jasmine, a fresh sweet cup
The dry pearls are round and tight, with fine pale hairs visible. Expect a pronounced jasmine fragrance, a bright yellow-toned liquor and a fresh, sweet taste.
Choose Dragon Pearl for its rolled shape and fuller floral aroma. For a more gently floral, leaf-shaped style, compare Jasmine Big Pekoe Tea; for a 50g tin from Sichuan, see Lejianhua Jasmine Green Tea.
Give the pearls room to open
Use a gaiwan and water at 80–90°C. The product’s brewing method begins with a short, approximately 10-second opening rinse, poured away to help the pearls unfold.
Follow with short infusions of about 5–10 seconds, then extend later steeps to taste. Adjust the tea quantity and timing to your vessel; the 5g pack is a portion of loose tea, not an infuser bag.
Protect each portion from moisture
Keep unopened packs dry, away from sunlight and strong odours. Store the box in a cool, dry place.
If you do not use an entire portion, keep the remaining tea airtight. Follow the date and storage instructions printed on the pack.
Questions about this tea
What is Jasmine Dragon Pearl?
It is a green-tea-based jasmine tea, rolled into small pearls that open in water. It is not a flower-only herbal infusion; green tea naturally contains caffeine.
Are the 5g packs filter teabags?
No. They are individually portioned loose tea. Open a pack and brew the leaves in a gaiwan or a suitable tea filter.
Does the gift-bag option contain more tea?
No. Both choices contain the same 100g box, with 20 × 5g portions. The second option adds a gift bag; the selected option’s actual price is shown above.
How does it differ from Big Pekoe?
Dragon Pearl has a compact, rolled shape and a more pronounced jasmine aroma. Jasmine Big Pekoe Tea has a leaf-shaped style and a gentler floral profile. Choose the shape and flavour you enjoy.
How many times can I brew it?
Continue while the leaves still give a flavour you enjoy, extending later infusions gradually. Dose, water and vessel affect the result, so a fixed number is not guaranteed.
How should I store an opened pack?
Keep any unused tea airtight, cool and dry, away from light and strong smells. Follow the storage information on the pack.
