Each jasmine pearl is hand-fashioned by twisting exceptionally long downy leaf bud sets together and rolling them into silvery balls.

These are then scented six times with fresh, aromatic jasmine flowers.

When steeped, the pearls unravel to reveal a scent so elegant you may wish to bottle it and wear it as a perfume.

A very high quality tea, has a truly lovely jasmine flavour - wonderful alone or with something spicy or savoury.

This is an exceptional green tea with delicate jasmine flowers, so it needs careful preparation - here are our tips:

- Use freshly drawn cold water
- Boil water & allow to cool for about 3 or 4 minutes to 80 ?C
- For best results – use a teapot! Use 1 teaspoon of tea per person and 1 for the pot (or 1 spoon in a cup with a strainer)
- Steep for 1 to 3 minutes (or to your taste). This delicate tea remains smooth to the end and you can keep topping up with fresh hot water until the flavour goes.
- Always without milk
… and for freshness every time, keep your tea somewhere cool, dark, dry and airtight!

Green tea, just like black tea, comes from the Camellia Sinensis variety

- Key difference between green and black teas? Green isn't oxidised, whereas black tea is ("oxidation" is just the natural reaction of the tea with air that affects strength and colour in black teas)
- The leaves often go through a short period of withering to remove moisture
- The leaves are lightly steamed or pan-fried to stop the tea oxidising
- Twisting or rolling follows, freeing the aromatic juices that you'll enjoy later!
- The leaves are naturally dried or gently heated, removing nearly all moisture
- Finally, leaves are graded by quality
