Mo Li Long Zhu, a rare, hand-rolled green tea from the Fujian province of China, infused with the delicate scent of night-blooming jasmine. The finest jasmine tea hand-rolled into pearl-sized spheres brews an incomparable infusion that will delight even the most fervent jasmine lovers. A treat for the jasmine lover and connoisseur alike.

Tea leaves are harvested in the spring and stored until early summer when fresh Jasmine flowers are in bloom. Jasmine flowers are picked early in the day when the small petals are tightly closed. The flowers are kept cool until nightfall. In the early evening when the flowers begin to open, the tea is blended with the Jasmine flowers and stored overnight. The night blooming Jasmine flowers then open and release their fragrance into the tea. It takes over four hours for the tea to absorb the fragrance and flavor of the jasmine blossoms; this process may be repeated for as many as six or seven times. The tea absorbs moisture from the fresh Jasmine flowers so it must be re-fired to prevent spoilage.

Taste: The dried pearls have a lovely jasmine fragrance. Sweet and almost sugary. Very soft, airy mouthfeel while the aroma is sweet and floral.

Preparation: Use 10-15 dragon pearls per 200ml of water. Heat water to 80-85℃ and steep for 1-3 minutes. It’s better to use glass cup to see the process of blooming.

Refined, clear and delicate floral fragrance, pleasantly soft texture and delicately dry finish. When added to hot water, the pearls majestically unfurl, releasing their delicate scent and flavor.
