This tea is hand-picked and completely hand crafted. The delicate leaves are hand rolled into the small pearls. When you infuse these pearls in your teacup, you will see the top two leaves and the bud come to life, looking beautiful as they unfold. In fact you will see some small 'hairy down' on the bud of the leaves - this denotes superb quality and very careful and delicate handling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #716d6c; background: white;\"\u003eAlso known as Jasmine Dragon Pearl Tea, the extraordinary flavour is due to the time of plucking, traditional hand manufacture and the fresh spring jasmine blooms. The new tea season starts in China in late March\/early April (dependent on weather patterns) and it is during the first 4 weeks that the best teas are manufactured. After this initial period the quality of the teas and green leaf start to deteriorate rapidly and the teas become quite plain. Dragon Pearls are only made from tea plucked in the first 3 weeks of the new season. Coinciding with the new tea growth, the jasmine bushes are in spring bloom. Only the most fragrant blossoms are used (from bushes that are known to produce the most fragrant flowers). These fresh flowers are layered between the tea and before long the intense and uplifting fragrance of the new jasmine blooms is passed on to the tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #716d6c; background: white;\"\u003eOur Jasmine Dragon Pearls are sourced from lush tea gardens where leaves are picked at the tenderest stage, then skilfully rolled into pearls by experienced artisans.
