Not all jasmine pearls made the same. Each pearl in our jasmine pearls is carefully selected and rolled by hand, one by one. Jasmine flowers then added into the jasmine pearls at night and let the flower bloom and release its a natural relaxing aroma. Every morning the flowers then removed. This process is then repeated over a week. 

Our jasmine pearls can be rebrewed over 6 to 8 different times. 

If your morning routine involves protein shakes, cappuccinos, or other iced blended drinks, then you want to use this particular Matcha. Adding a teaspoon of Matcha to your drinks will give you a lot of positive energy and less feeling guilty about the sugar intake of your sweet drink. Very high in amino acid and L-theanine which can help your mind to focus more and get more tasks done.

Starting off as a "poor man" tea, Genmaicha has now become one of the most popular Japanese green tea. 

You can easily make Genmaicha yourself by roasting brown rice in a pan over medium-high heat and mix them with your favorite green tea. It is surprising that no other country has done the same thing with their leftover green tea.

Each year, our tea farmers take their time to mix organic green tea from multiple harvests to blend in with organic popped brown rice. As a result, you get one of the most complex green tea. Toasty and nutty from the rice, sweet and umami from the earlier harvest, body and fulfilling after taste from the later harvest.

These particular Jasmine Pearls are from a Da Bai cultivar which is normally used for making traditional white tea like Silver Needle (bái háo yín zhēn/白毫银针) or White Peony (bái mǔdān /白牡丹). In order to harvest them, the weather conditions must be perfect and must only be plucked during early springtime. 

After the base tea has been processed, it must be kept cool until summertime when the jasmine flower blossoms. This jasmine pearls' flavor is delicate and not overpowering. The aroma is relaxing and calming. Try infusing this tea at a lower temperature (190 Fahrenheit) to bring out more sweetness. If you are trying to make an iced tea or milk tea, try infusing it at a higher temperature (205 Fahrenheit) for a more robust flavor.  

Origin: Fuding, China

Hōjicha is a Japanese green tea. It is distinctive from other Japanese green teas because it is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal, whereas most Japanese teas are steamed. The tea is fired at a high temperature, altering the leaf color tints from green to reddish brown. The process was first performed in Kyoto, Japan, in the 1920s and its popularity persists today.

When thinking about the most famous green tea from China, Dragon Well topped the list. Green tea is largely unoxidized. The oxidation of Chinese green tea is controlled by using the pan-firing method. Perhaps most green tea in the world tries to pan-fire a green tea to copy the style and tradition of Dragon Well.

This pan-firing method keeps the "juice' within the leaf while driving the moisture out of the leaf. Tea master then presses and flattened each leaf by hand. A time-consuming effort that only an experienced tea maker can accomplish. As a result of the pan-firing, Dragon Well is especially nutty, vegetal, and umami. A great tea to drink in the morning. 

This Dragon Well green tea is truly unique. Sourced from the most famous place for a Dragon Well Longjing green tea. This handpicked green tea is very rare and only able to be harvested around 20 kg a year. We are fortunate to be able to carry such a quality green tea.

Kabuse cha is shaded for about seven days before its harvesting resulting in an increase of antioxidants, and L-theanine effects. The tea leaves tend to be a little longer and stronger than sencha because of the controlled sunlight before its harvesting. A good balance between sencha and gyokuro. 

Origin: Kagoshima, Japan

Notes: Seaweed, Spinach, Umami

If you often "accidentally" oversteep your tea, then steep using 175º Fahrenheit. Your tea won't get bitter at this temperature.
