This year’s competition-grade Imperial Jasmine Pearls is grown and produced entirely in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province and the original home of Jasmine tea for over 200 years. This is where the best Jasmine teas are still sourced, as the quality of Jasmine blossoms and tea remain the highest here. We select only exceptional teas for our Imperial title, and this batch meets our high expectations: a sophisticated tea with elegant notes of Jasmine flowers. No matter how long we steeped this tea, it never became excessively bitter or unpleasant.
