Jasmine tea is a classic scented tea mainly produced in the Fujian Province, China and Taiwan. The sweet smelling jasmine blossoms are piled next to the green or oolong tea for it to absorb the jasmine scent. For superior grades, this is done several times. The blossoms are then removed or mixed in to give an attractive appearance. Jasmine Pearls are beautifully bound with some jasmine flowers. It has a wonderful scent and a fine flavor.
It is a light and refreshing tea that can be taken alone or with savory foods. It has a pale golden liquor.
Jasmine pearls should be steeped for 2 to 3 minutes in about 160˚F to 170˚F water. Use about 12 pearls per cup of tea. The pearls unfurl after being steeped. Superior quality jasmine pearls may be steeped a second time.
Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day! 😎
