Although the top bud and two leaves are plucked along with\nthe stem, the lower leaves are discarded and only the bud and long stem are\nretained.Using traditional bamboo trays, the buds are withered in direct sun\nor over low heat to reduce moisture and make them supple and conducive to\nrolling. Once adequate suppleness is achieved, top bud and stem are gently\ntwisted in between the thumb and index finger to bring the shape into that of\na ‘pearl’. It takes at least 2000 pearls to make one pound of tea.The rolled\npearls are then heat infused with jasmine flowers several times to achieve the\ndesired strength of aroma. High grade Jasmine Pearls undergo this process at\nleast five times.Although green teas are made at different times during the\nyear, the most flavorful are typically spring plucked. Yet the most fragrant\njasmine flowers blossom in summer. A lot of skill is therefore needed by\nJasmine Pearl tea makers to strike a good balance between the leaf and the\nflowers.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSmooth green tea flavor with a bold floral aroma\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eIngredients: Green Tea Leaves, Jasmine Flower Petals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"py-vbody\" style=\"display: none\"\u003e\n\n\n","brand":"The Tao of Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43139434676449,"sku":"B005GHJLTS","price":154.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0464\/0433\/7819\/products\/B005GHJLTS.jpg?v=1669819052","url":"https:\/\/outfitocean.com\/products\/the-tao-of-tea-handrolled-jasmine-pearls-green-tea-loose-leaf-3-ounce-tin-1","provider":"OutfitOcean Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
