Jasmine Pearls A
Jasmine-scented teas exist as many peoples' first foray into the wide world of Chinese tea culture. Many people like to put jasmine teas down as low quality, and we will be the first to admit that many in fact are. With this top grade A jasmine green tea, the focus is on offering a great quality green tea, with the jasmine flower scent following up the aroma and giving it some edge. Lower-grade jasmine teas use green teas that have entirely lost their aroma or had none to begin with, at which point they are absolutely lost in the jasmine flower scent. Please give jasmine teas another chance! This grade in particular carries an amazing energy of green floral power wrapped in very tight and small rolled tea leaves -- Extremely impressive!

Then pour on the hot water again and let steep for 30-60 seconds. Decant and serve, or drink straight from the cup! Increase the steeping time gradually with each additional infusion.
