Award Winning Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls Green Tea

Jasmine Dragon Pearl green tea is an entirely handcrafted and top-quality green, not only a wonderful drink but an elegant work of art as well.

Its production is a long and involved process: the buds and leaves are originally picked in spring, to be dried and then stored and kept cool until the jasmine flowers bloom. These night-blooming flowers are picked early each morning while the petals are still closed. When the flowers do open in early evening, they do so with a popping sound; when this happens the flowers are mixed in with the dried tea and left to sit for around five hours, after which the flowers are removed and the tea is set to carefully dry for a few days.

This scenting process is repeated with fresh flowers for a total of six times, in the end producing this amazing tea that, in total, takes over a month to make. One pound of dragon pearl tea will take about four pounds of jasmine flowers during this arduous process.

The Wenyang Tea Garden is located in Guanlin Town, Fuding City, between an elevation of 500 and 800 meters.

The weather here is warm and humid with abundant rainfall, and this combined with an almost constant fog provides perfect conditions for tea bushes, allowing a rich array of micro-minerals and organic nutrients to accumulate in the leaves.

The tea plants growing here are mainly of the Fuding Dahao and Fuding Dabai varieties.

Fuding maintains a subtropical monsoon climate, characteristic of coastal areas: it has an average annual sunshine total of about 1840 hours, an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, and an average annual precipitation of 1661.6mm.
