Our sweetest jasmine tea. The pearl shape softens the steeping, but the large quantity of buds provides some bright and energetic character to the traditional floral flavor.

Harvested and produced on April 2, 2023 in Puer City, Yunnan. It’s a one-bud, two-leaf pick of the “Yunnan Big Leaf” cultivar growing at approx. 4,900 feet. The scenting was completed May 5, 2023 by Mr. Lin Hua Gui in Heng County, Guangxi Province. It was scented two times using the “hong ti” technique, meaning the second scenting uses an increased amount of jasmine blossoms followed by a light roasting.
