| Jasmine Dragon Tears High grade, hand rolled green tea with a smooth, delicate jasmine taste. The extraordinary flavor of these Jasmine Dragon Tears is due to the time of plucking, manufacture and the fresh spring jasmine blooms. Jasmine
Dragon Tears are a green tea and made from the top two leaves and the
bud of new season growth (Late March /early April). These delicate
leaves are then hand rolled into the small pearls. When you infuse these
pearls in your cup, you will see the top two leaves and the bud come to
life. In fact you will see some small hairy down on the bud of the
leaves - this denotes superb quality and very careful and delicate
handling.
The
extraordinary flavor of these Jasmine Dragon Tears is due to the time
of plucking, manufacture and the fresh spring jasmine blooms. The new
tea season starts in China
in late March/early April (dependent on weather patterns) and it is
during the first 4 weeks that the best teas are manufactured. After this
initial period the quality of the teas and green leaf start to
deteriorate rapidly and the teas become quite plain. Dragon Pearls are
only made from tea plucked in the first 3 weeks of the new season.
Coinciding with the new tea growth, the jasmine bushes are in spring
bloom. Only the most fragrant blossoms are used (from bushes that are
known to produce the most fragrant flowers). These fresh flowers are
layered between the tea and before long the intense and uplifting
fragrance of the new jasmine blooms is passed on to the tea. |
