Jasmine Tea
Origin
Pantenger Dragon Pearls -white jasmine tea- is organically grown on a single estate in the Chinese province of Yunnan at 5000 ft above sea level. Considered the most refined of the Jasmine teas, it is crafted in a two-step method of processing and scenting.
Processing: the leaves and buds are carefully hand-picked during spring. At the tea factory, they are dried on bamboo mats in the open air for three days then heated for several hours to achieve the desired dehydration. The white tea process is simple yet the most difficult to perfect. The result is a lightly oxidized, sweet, floral, and fresh tea.
Scenting: this stage begins in summer when the Jasmine flowers are ready to bloom. Each afternoon, the most talented jasmine pickers identify which buds are due to flower that night. At the tea factory, the dried white tea is then blended with the jasmine petals for four hours to allow the leaves to absorb the aroma. The following morning, the petals are removed by hand. The process is repeated for four to seven days. Finally, the tea is shaped into pearls to lock in the jasmine aroma.
Dragon Pearls
Brewing a perfect cup:
The right amount of tea is 1 pyramid bag / 6 Fl. Oz. of hot water (180ºF to 190º).
Brew for 2 to 3 minutes.
Each pyramid bag can be infused up to 5 times.
Water quality: filtered or spring water is recommended. Water containing high amounts of minerals or excess chlorine will make your tea tasteless.
Will the Pyramid bags affect the flavour of my tea?
Pantenger large Pyramids bags allow the tea leaves to expand and release all of their flavour into the tea cup. Made of sugar cane fibers that are almost invisible during infusion, they enable you to see the tea leaves absorbing the hot water. More importantly, they do so without contaminating the tea with unwanted flavours as is the case with conventional nylon pyramid bags or traditional paper tea bags. The fiber is biodegradable and no chemicals are used during the manufacturing process. Pantenger Pyramids are made in the USA and are non-GMO as well as allergy and gluten free.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase or your experience of Pantenger Tea for any reason whatsoever, please do let us know and we will refund your order in full. Limited to one unit per customer.

It also includes the finest organic teas from single estates in Darjeeling, an extremely aromatic and flowery first flush and a summer harvest with its characteristic muscatel flavour. A high altitude green tea completes our collection from the Lesser Himalayas.

Our Jasmine tea is from the Chinese province of Yunnan and is made by scenting white tea with jasmine petals. The petals are then removed and the flavor is locked in the leaves by rolling them. This is the most refined Jasmine tea available. It is sweet compared to the bitter jasmine teas made with green tea leaves.

I love the fact that they used white tea. I have found green tea more often with jasmine. This tea is light and delicious with or without honey.

I was very pleased with the scent and flavor of this tea but it is way too expensive for me to buy on a regular basis. There are not many suppliers who have a white jasmine tea.

I was pleased by the scent, but the flavour doesn’t come thru.Some pearls can be used 2-3 times; these cannot. Very very mild flavour, the scent dissipates quickly.They are quite pricey, the presentation is nice & the little “pyramids” are cute. All of which is irrelevant as the taste is just not there.The tin is lovely and has a nice silicon seal, so I will get future use out of it.

The canister looks great and has a vacuum seal to keep the tea fresh. The tea comes in a sealed pouch which I store the tea in within the canister. The fragrance is delightful. As for the taste it is good but acquired. It to me has a slight bite or bitterness. I may be not be preparing it correctly. I let it steep for a few minutes and sweeten it with honey. The tea is in triangular tea bags which looks decent different from the one pearls shown on the website. I get two servings from each bag because I don’t want to water it down. All in all I’m still experimenting but I like the flavor.

Lifelong tea lover but not snob, my regular cup is a black tea with milk and sugar, preferably British in a stringless sachet. I love the stories and geography of tea; I find any tea an absolutely romantic story, a chapter in a magnificent world encyclopedia. I fell hard in love with this tea tin, needed to feel it and read its story. The white jasmine tea is truly delicious, sweet instead of bitter, with no tang at all of green tea. (I avoid green tea.) Incredibly fragrant on the inhale, I close my eyes and I am walking up Duval Street one warm Key West night, night jasmine blooming, poems brewing in my head. Sachets feel rich and well-made to the hand, and are good for 2 strong brews/ 4 servings in my 20 oz mug. Great with honey or as is.

I love jasmine tea. When I was last ordering the Stash Jasmine Blossom brand on Amazon, the Jasmine White Tea from Pantenger popped up as a suggestion. I ordered it to try. It is definitely the best jasmine tea I've had - more expensive but a real treat! I have already ordered another can (beautiful presentation) of 15 bags. I'm happy to have discovered this brand.
