Jasmine Pearls are famous for their delicate floral fragrance and graceful sweetness. At Imperial Tea Court, we offer two expressions of this classic tea: Superior and Imperial. Both are crafted from fine green tea and scented with real jasmine flowers, but their differences in origin and craftsmanship create two distinct experiences.
The Art of Jasmine Scenting
Our Superior Jasmine Pearls come from Guangxi Province, China, where most jasmine tea in the world is made these days. Our partners start with a high-quality green tea base and scent it nine times with jasmine flowers. The result is an elegant, beautifully fragrant tea with a delicate floral character, made for the simple pleasure of a daily cup.
Our Imperial Jasmine Pearls come from Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, China. This city is a historic center for jasmine tea production. Made by hand in small batches, this tea starts as an especially fine green tea and undergoes thirteen rounds of jasmine scenting. This meticulous process develops a remarkable depth of fragrance and a distinctive, rock sugar-like sweetness - a quality prized among the finest jasmine teas.
A Tea for Every Occasion
Superior Jasmine Pearls offer an approachable expression of this beloved tradition, while Imperial Jasmine Pearls reward a more attentive tasting with its refined sweetness and exceptional craftsmanship.
We believe fine tea can be something you enjoy every day, and something you can set aside for a special occasion. We hope that you can try them side by side, or on their own. Either way, we'll be happily sipping our jasmine right alongside you.
