The story

Scented by jasmine flowers at dusk

These pearls start as young green tea leaves and buds, hand-rolled into tight balls and layered with fresh jasmine flowers. The scenting happens at night, when jasmine blossoms open and release their fragrance. The process is repeated several times until the tea holds a soft, lasting floral note without becoming heavy or perfumed.

Drop them into a glass pot and watch them slowly unfurl. The liquor turns a pale champagne gold, the jasmine rises gently, and underneath you find a smooth green tea with a clean, cooling finish. Nothing cloying here, just fragrance and silk.

This is an afternoon tea that asks you to slow down for a moment. It suits a glass teapot on a quiet table, a few minutes where the kettle and the light do most of the work. The pearls will happily give you a second steep, a little gentler than the first.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

What does Jasmine Dragon Pearls taste like?

Soft jasmine fragrance over a silky, lightly sweet green tea. The floral note is present but never heavy, and the finish stays crisp and cooling.

How many cups will I get from a pouch?

The 25g pouch makes around 10 cups, the 50g around 20, the 100g around 40, and the 250g roughly 100 cups. Each serving of pearls can be steeped twice.

Does this tea contain caffeine?

Yes. As a green tea it contains a moderate amount of caffeine, less than black tea but more than herbal. For evenings, try Decaf Kyushu Sencha Green instead.

Should I add milk to Jasmine Dragon Pearls?

No. Milk would muddle the delicate jasmine and the silky texture. This one is best enjoyed on its own.

How should I store it?

Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong smells like coffee or spices. The jasmine fragrance fades if left open.

    A Really Wonderful Tea

    I purchased the Jasmine Dragon Pearls because it’s long been a favourite green tea of mine. However, it’s the first time I tried it from Porter Hill and I was not disappointed.

    The tea is fragrant with a light taste, which gets stronger with each infusion, but does not turn butter. I infuse this up to three times and each time the tea is refreshing and leaves you wa ting more. Along with the milky oolong, this will become a regular purchase!
