This tea is one of the prettiest treasures from the world of tea. Grown in the mountains of southeast China for more than 100 years, only the finest and youngest leaves of the best green tea qualities have formed the basis for this rarity. The still not quite dry leaves are mixed up to six times with fresh, delicate jasmine blossoms, then sieved and rolled by hand to small pearls. The leaf encloses the fine jasmine aroma and only sets it free during brewing. The fact that “two leaves and a bud” were taken shows in the infusion, with an elegant champagne color.
