Jasmine Dragon Pearls 2024

Jasmine Dragon Pearls are handcrafted from tender spring green tea tips, delicately rolled and repeatedly scented with fresh jasmine blossoms. When steeped, the pearls slowly unfurl, releasing a smooth, pale-golden liquor with a sweet, floral aroma. The flavour is elegant and balanced, combining the gentle freshness of green tea with the soothing fragrance of jasmine. A delightful tea drink.

Description

Hand-picked in 2024, each pearl of this tea is handcrafted using the tender spring tips of green tea, carefully hand-rolled into delicate spheres. These pearls are then repeatedly layered with freshly harvested jasmine blossoms, allowing the tea to naturally absorb the flowers’ enchanting aroma over several nights. The blossoms are replaced with fresh ones each time to ensure a pure, layered scent without overpowering the green tea's natural character.

When steeped, the pearls gracefully unfurl, releasing a clear, pale-golden liquor that is smooth, soothing, and fragrant. The taste is elegant and well-balanced with sweet, floral jasmine and the subtle grassy notes of the green tea. A timeless favourite for those seeking serenity in a cup.

Health Benefits

All tea comes from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis, but the way it's processed creates the wide variety of teas we enjoy today. Green tea is minimally processed and not oxidised, which helps preserve its natural antioxidants, fresh flavour, and vibrant green colour.

Compared to black tea, green tea retains a higher concentration of polyphenols, particularly catechins like EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which are known for their powerful antioxidant properties. While green tea contains less caffeine than black tea, it still provides a gentle energy boost which is ideal for staying alert without the jitters.

Green tea is linked to a wide range of health benefits, including:

  • Enhanced brain function and focus
  • Support for heart health and healthy cholesterol levels
  • Boosted metabolism and fat oxidation
  • Reduced inflammation and cellular protection

It also contains the amino acid L-theanine, which works synergistically with caffeine to promote calm, focused energy and support mental clarity without causing drowsiness.
