Chinese green tea enriched with the flowery fragrance of jasmine flowers has long been a favorite since the Sung Dynasty. Dragon Phoenix Pearl gets its name from the visual characteristics of the tea bushes "climbing" the hillsides like a dragon coming out of the water.
This green tea is grown in an area in Funding City near the border of the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. The area is mountainous and is often shrouded in clouds or fog, a perfect environment for an exclusive fine tea. This tea is picked in April and May then processed by hand rolling each leaf and bud into tiny pearl sized balls.
Once rolled, the tea is wrapped in silk mesh and dried by fire to set the form. The tea is then held until August or September when the finest jasmine blossoms are in bloom.
The jasmine flowers are picked before noon and set aside until evening when the petals begin to open in the cool night air. Once open, the "marrying" of the jasmine to the tea happens in two applications after which the jasmine petals are removed.
According to analysis done by Chinese researchers, Dragon Phoenix Pearl has higher concentrations of vitamin C and amino acids than any other tea. This is unquestionably one of the finest jasmines shipped from the port of Fuzhou. We at Tea Bazaar assure you that you will definitely be satisfied with this exquisite green tea.
