Organic Jasmine Pearls

Amount: 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of water (about 5 to 7 pearls)

Water temperature: 175°F (lower temperature protects the delicate jasmine scent and keeps the tea from turning bitter)

Steep time: 2 to 3 minutes

Tips:

• Watch the pearls unfurl as they steep. It's a good reminder not to rush it.
• These re-steep beautifully up to four times. The jasmine scent softens on later steeps and the green tea character comes through more.
• Use filtered water if you can. It makes a noticeable difference with floral teas.
• No sweetener needed. The natural sweetness of the jasmine scenting is part of what makes this tea special.

Jasmine Pearls start with a green tea base, which means they carry the antioxidant benefits you'd expect from a quality green tea, including EGCG, a compound research continues to explore for its role in supporting overall wellness. Jasmine itself has a long history of use in traditional wellness practices and is widely associated with calming and stress-reducing properties, which is part of why jasmine tea has been a staple in Chinese culture for centuries.

The tea provides a low to moderate amount of caffeine alongside L-theanine, an amino acid found naturally in tea that many people find supports calm, focused energy rather than the sharp jolt that can come with coffee.

Because this tea is USDA Certified Organic, it's grown and scented without synthetic pesticides or artificial fragrance.

What are Jasmine Pearls and how are they made? 

Jasmine Pearls are a traditional Chinese green tea where the leaves are hand-rolled into small round pearls and then naturally scented by layering them with fresh jasmine blossoms during the night when the flowers are most fragrant. The blossoms are removed after scenting, leaving behind the tea with that signature jasmine aroma baked right in. No artificial flavoring involved.

Is the jasmine flavor natural or artificial? 

It's completely natural. The pearls are scented with real jasmine blossoms, not added fragrance or flavoring. That's why the aroma smells like an actual flower rather than a perfume.

Why does the steeped tea look peach-colored instead of green? 

That's completely normal for Jasmine Pearls. Green tea is named for the color of the leaves, not the liquor. Depending on how long you steep and how many pearls you use, the cup can range from a pale golden to a soft warm peach. It's a beautiful color and a good sign you've steeped it right.

Can I re-steep the pearls? 

Yes, up to four times. Because the pearls are tightly rolled, they release flavor gradually with each steep. The jasmine scent is strongest in the first cup and softens on later steeps as the green tea character comes through more.

Is this a good tea for someone new to green tea? 

It's one of the best places to start. The jasmine scenting smooths out any grassy notes you might find off-putting in other green teas, and the natural sweetness makes it approachable without needing any added sugar or milk.

Is this tea good for gifting? 

Jasmine Pearls are one of our most popular gifts. The pearls are visually striking, the scent is immediately impressive when you open the bag, and the steeping experience feels special. It works for tea lovers and people who have never thought much about tea.

How should I store my Jasmine Pearls? 

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from light, moisture, and strong odors. Reseal the packaging between uses. Jasmine Pearls are best enjoyed within 6 to 12 months of purchase to get the most from the jasmine scenting.

Jasmine Pearls sit on the lighter, more delicate end of the green tea spectrum. The jasmine scenting is done with real blossoms rather than artificial flavoring, so it smells and tastes like the flower itself, not a perfume. If you typically find green teas too grassy or sharp, this one is a good place to start.
