JASMINE TEAS
Green tea scented with jasmine blossoms; flowers are removed after scenting for top grades.
Jasmine Pearl
#6136 Downy, Fancy
#6138 Downy
#6138A Downy, Organic
#6139 Standard
Silvery tips carefully shaped into small round pearls. Compare quality by looking at the proportion of bud to stem in the wet leaves. Quality of plucking and scenting account for price difference; the standard grade is a great value. (Beware of jasmine pearls that have one or two long strands wrapped around a core of broken tea leaves.)
Blooming Jasmine Ball
#6336 Standard
#6336E EU Standard
A hand-crafted artisan tea composed of jasmine-scented green tea leaves tied together with a pink amaranth blossom in the center. Each piece is about the size of a Red Globe grape, and the tea leaves unfurl and "bloom" into a flower when steeped. A visual treat with solid jasmine flavor.
