The Tao of Tea Handrolled Jasmine Pearls Loose-Leaf Green Tea, 3 oz Tin — Floral, Smooth Cup

The Tao of Tea Handrolled Jasmine Pearls is a handcrafted loose-leaf green tea made from spring-picked buds rolled into pearls and repeatedly scented with fresh jasmine for a smooth, floral cup.

This 3-ounce tin contains artisan jasmine pearls that combine the delicate sweetness of young green tea leaves with a bright jasmine bouquet. Each pearl is hand-rolled from the top bud and stem, then repeatedly scented with jasmine blossoms to build layered aroma without overpowering the tea leaf. The result is a lightweight, fragrant infusion ideal for multiple short steeps and for anyone who appreciates traditional tea craft.

How is this jasmine pearl tea made?

The pearls begin with the top bud and one or two young leaves harvested in spring, then are withered and hand-rolled into tight spheres. After rolling, the pearls are scented with jasmine flowers several times, often five or more cycles, to achieve a balanced aroma. Skilled artisans time the process so the green leaf’s freshness remains while the floral notes build.

• Spring-plucked top buds and stems for fresh green character
• Bamboo-tray withering and manual rolling into tight pearls
• Multiple jasmine scenting cycles to layer fragrance
• Approximately 2,000 pearls required per pound of tea

What flavor and aroma should I expect from these pearls?

You’ll find a smooth, vegetal green-tea base with a clear, bold jasmine aroma that lifts the cup without masking the leaf. The mouthfeel is light and clean, with floral top notes and a subtly sweet finish. Because the scenting is measured, the jasmine complements rather than overwhelms the green tea’s natural profile.

• Smooth green-tea flavor with gentle vegetal notes
• Pronounced yet balanced jasmine bouquet
• Light, clean finish that suits multiple steeps
• Best enjoyed without heavy additions to preserve nuance

How should I brew these jasmine pearls for best results?

Use water just below boiling (around 160–175°F / 70–80°C) and a short steep time to keep the green notes fresh and the jasmine bright. Start with about 1 teaspoon of pearls per 6–8 oz of water and steep 1–2 minutes for the first infusion, then slightly longer for subsequent brews. The rolled leaves unfurl slowly, allowing for several flavorful infusions.

• Water temperature: 160–175°F (70–80°C)
• Ratio: ~1 tsp per 6–8 oz (3–4 g per 200–240 ml)
• Steep: 1–2 minutes first infusion, +30–60s later steeps
• Multiple short steeps reveal evolving aroma and flavor

How should I store the tea to keep its aroma and freshness?

Keep the tin sealed and store it in a cool, dry, and dark place away from strong odors and humidity. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, heat sources, or fragrant foods that can transfer aroma into the leaves. For longer-term preservation, consider placing the sealed tin inside an airtight container in a pantry or cupboard.

• Reseal the 3 oz tin after each use
• Store away from light, heat, moisture, and strong smells
• Use within a few months for peak jasmine aroma

Who is this for? The Tao of Tea Handrolled Jasmine Pearls is well suited to tea lovers who value artisanal processing and floral fragrance—ideal for those who enjoy multiple gentle steeps, ceremonial or mindful tea rituals, and pairing delicate teas with light snacks. It’s a good choice for people seeking a refined jasmine experience that highlights both leaf quality and careful scenting rather than a heavily perfumed tea.
