This Jasmine Dragon Ball Black Tea is an innovative type of flower tea, combining jasmine blossoms with pure Dian Hong black tea. The dried jasmine is added to the tea during the same process used to create the dragon ball shape, and the fragrance of the jasmine comes out in the first steep; unlike other types of jasmine tea, this one is not scented with the flowers, but only combined. With further steeps, the heavier flavor of the jasmine comes out, and because the tea leaves are taken from ancient tea trees, the taste is already stronger than normal Dian Hong black teas.
