Jasmine Pearl Superior Tea

A combination of white tea leaves and green tea leaves, our Jasmine Pearls Superior tea really strives to befit its name! This elegant and fragrant blend is grown in China’s Hunan Province with the two types of tea leaves rolled together by hand to create tiny yet beautiful pearl shaped balls. These balls unfurl before your eyes as they brew in hot water, creating a light liquor with a slightly nutty character. This is in addition to the floral and sweet taste of Jasmine Tea infused into the blend. Popular in China and around the world, Jasmine Pearls Superior is of the highest quality, ensuring this delightful brew is everything you could possibly expect from a tea with such a prestigious name.

Jasmine Pearls Superior shares much of its enchanting history with most other Jasmine tea blends with its story dating back over 1,000 years ago. It was during the South-Song Dynasty that Jasmine Loose Tea was first recognised, but it would not be until the Ming Dynasty that its true potential was unleashed through further development. This rise in popularity continued for many centuries and by the time the 1900’s dawned, Jasmine Leaf Tea had become a fast-moving trade item in all its varieties across the globe.

Despite China being regarded as the best producer of this particular tea blend, Jasmine flowers actually originated from Persia (modern-day Iran!) It is likely that some time before they were cultivated in the Chinese homeland, they had been transported as a trade item across the vast Himalayas! So next time you brew up a cup of Jasmine Pearls Superior – or any other Jasmine teas for that matter, remember it has come a long way to be able to grant you the delicate and luxurious flavours you know and love!
