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.

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.
