Jasmine Pearls — Five Scent
Scented five times · green base
Five nights of jasmine over a green base, where flower and tea stay two distinguishable things in the cup.
Five scentings on a green tea base gives a cup where the jasmine and the tea are still two things you can taste separately, rather than the seamless single note that heavy scenting produces. Some drinkers prefer it for exactly that reason. It is also the grade that stays cheapest, because the process is counted in nights rather than in flower quality.
Jasmine Pearls itself comes from Heng County, Guangxi (flowers) · Fuding, Fujian (tea), grown as fuding da bai, hand-rolled into pearls, at 400 m. This lot is that same tea, handled and graded as described above — the leaf, the mountain and the maker do not change, only the picking window and the price.
