Jasmine Dragon Tears Tea
No more tears after you try this delicious jasmine dragon tears tea. Named for its unique pearl shape, these tea leaves are hand rolled and are gently cared for. This specialty green tea is grown in the Wuyi Fujian province of China. In order to make this tea, the leaves are picked at a young age and only made with the top leaves of the camellia sinensis plant. Leaves from the top of the plant are chosen because they have seen the most sunlight. The tea leaves rolled with jasmine look like tiny pearls (or tears) of spun wool. Although this tea is a little more expensive, we think the taste is worth it! Plus you can steep your jasmine dragon tears up to three times.
