About the product
- Pantenger Dragon Pearl Jasmine Tea is organically grown on a single estate in the Chinese province of Yunnan at 5000 ft above sea level. Considered the most refined of the Jasmine teas it is crafted in a two step method of processing and scenting.
- Processing the leaves and buds are carefully hand picked during spring. At the tea factory they are dried on bamboo mats in the open air for three days then heated for several hours to achieve the desired dehydration. The white tea process is simple yet the most difficult to perfect. The result is a lightly oxidized sweet floral and fresh tea.
- Scenting this stage begins in summer when the Jasmine flowers are ready to bloom. Each afternoon the most talented jasmine pickers identify which buds are due to flower that night. At the tea factory the dried white tea is then blended with the jasmine petals for four hours to allow the leaves to absorb the aroma. The following morning the petals are removed by hand. The process is repeated for four to seven days. Finally the tea is shaped into pearls to lock in the jasmine aroma.
- Brewed Pantenger White Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea is clear silver in colour with a fresh and sweet jasmine aroma. Pantenger White Jasmine Tea is sweet compared to the bitter jasmine teas made with green tea leaves.
- Pantenger White Jasmine Tea Bags 15 Pyramid Sachets is supplied in airtight tins to protect the tea from oxidation. We hope the natural harmony of our tins and the purity of our tea will invite you to take a moment of your day to hold your own tea ceremony and enjoy some quality time. Pantenger White Jasmine Tea allows up to 3 infusions per bag.
