Sometimes known as Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea.

Poetic in form and fragrance, these stunning pearls produce the most memorable jasmine tea you’ll ever taste.

Each one is hand-made by rolling tippy, green tea into pearls then wrapping each pearl into paper to help maintain the shape.  After unwrapping and drying the tea is set aside until summer when the jasmine comes into season and it is scented five times with fresh, aromatic jasmine flowers.

When infused, the pearls unravel and release a beautifully sweet jasmine aroma.

Beyond its sensual qualities, green tea is a well-known source of antioxidants.

Our Jasmine Pearls are the finest Chinese jasmine tea you'll find.

  • The best tea ever!!

    This has got to be my favourite green tea 'blend' off all time. It smells devine and tastes even better. Even on the 3rd brew it still tastes fantastic. Perfect anytime of the day, but the mid afternoon cup the perfect way to get over the mid afternoon lull. I can't rate this enough. Anyone new to green tea, really should try this !st, you'll never look back!

    I was thrilled to discover these Jasmine Dragon Pearls. They make a tea that is a real treat for the senses. It's such a fresh and clean taste, very refreshing, and the fragrance is enticing to anyone who may be nearby :) I love watching the pearls unfold into a 'garden' at the bottom of my cup. The subtle changes to the flavour that occur with multiple infusions are part of the charm of this incredible tea. Try some.
  • The Best Jasmine Tea I have found outside of China!

    I have been buying this for a few months now, the result of a lucky search on the internet! It is incredibly hard to find affordable jasmine pearls. I started drinking green tea many years ago and became hooked on jasmine pearls during two years living in China. These are simply the best I've found in this country, refreshing and fragrant. I tend to just add some balls to a cup and pour water on and keep re-using them, adding a few more balls every so often but I have just bought a infusing teapot to try instead! Thank you Jing for a lovely tea but also a very fast and efficient service!

    I first tasted Jasmine tea in a small Chinese teashop in Bristol in 1983. Since then I have been looking for the perfect Jasmine tea - light, floral, slightly heady. This is TOTALLY IT!!

    Never thought I'd get hooked on tea, but Jing Tea has made me crave it with their Jasmine Pearls. The more I drink, the better I feel (any mysterious ingredients we should know about?). I recommend it warmly.

    I visited China 5 years ago and have drunk Jasmine Tea ever since then as a result of that visit! It has not been until I discovered Jing's Jasmine Pearls that I could compare the tea bought here to what I had experienced back in Beijing! Totally delicious and by FAR the best Jasmine Pearl Tea I have ever tasted. Thank you so much!
  • The best jasmine tea I've ever had

    My introduction to good green teas came from Twinings, but frankly, since I got a tea sampler from JING, I am hooked on this jasmine tea. Beautiful, delicate but intensely floral, it is arguably a tea that should be a staple in any household, and any restaurant that has such teas in its arsenal.

    The little pearls may look strange, but they soon unfold in the hot water and give off the most amazing taste and scent. Don't steep for too long, enjoy it while it is at its best.
  • Truly Mind Blowing Introduction to 'real tea'.

    I'm overwhelmed by the scent and balanced taste of the Jasmine Pearl tea from Jing.
    Being a noobie to green teas, I first tried supermarket tea bags, then loose leaf... and then after reading some reviews here, I plumped for a mixture of the range of green tea.
    If you are thinking of buying some - don't hesitate... it truly is an amazing experience.

    I'm unsure if Jing advise re-use, however I use a coffee pot and ensure the water is 'just enough' for one cup. I can brew this 3 times with equally balanced flavour and aroma... which MUST make this tea somewhat of a bargain at this price for 50g (if you x3)!!

    Lovely brew, relaxing experience - go on, indulge your senses!

    :)

  • The best jasmine tea

    This is one of the best jasmine scented teas I ever tasted. Its aroma and taste are mild and pleasant, so you can use a few degrees higher water temperature if you prefer stronger and full taste. Steep until pearls unravel into open tealeaves, make a second infusion a little shorter. 3 minutes as declared by Jing is absolutely too much if you intend to prepare multiple infusions.

    I was introduced to jing a couple of years ago after mentioning to a friend a growing interest in Chinese teas. One of the very first ones I tried was the jasmine pearls. I had tried a few other jasmine teas and found a lot of them quite bitter but this one was very smooth , it seemed to be in a gear above the rest. I find this tea so enjoyably fresh and aromatic and serves me very well as a staple part of my morning. It definately awakened me to a new style of tea, and as I continue to discover and enjoy teas I salute this one for bringing me into the world. thank you jing!

I struggled to find a brew as good as the ones I drank in Singapore until a friend introduced me to Jing Tea's jasmine pearls...More than a reviving drink, this tea is so fragrant, it encourages a mid-afternoon ritual - pretty china cup, a moment of peace...
