Gold Medal Jasmine Pearls, Fujian, China, Spring, 2014

Picked in the spring, the gentle buds of this tea are held until the summer when the night jasmine blossoms. Those blossoms are folded in with the tea and then wrapped in paper and steamed over a hot wok to infuse the flavor of the flower into the tea. Then the flowers are picked out. This process is repeated three times for the perfect flavor balance of superior quality green tea and jasmine. This is an everyday jasmine tea of extraordinary quality. This tea will make you swoon! One ounce of tea comes in Red Circle’s signature Red Label Tin. One ounce of tea is equal to about 14 portions of tea that can be steeped about 4 times and yields about 56 cups.
