Description

Harney & Sons Dragon Pearl Jasmine is a green tea, with a strand of white tea, hand-rolled into pearls and scented with real jasmine blossoms. The pearls unfurl as they steep, releasing an intensely floral cup that is sweet, light, and smooth.

Light in body and never bitter when brewed correctly, it is best enjoyed just as it is. It is lovely hot or iced, and we take it plain so the jasmine has the last word.

 Details: There was a time, and it was not too long ago, that there was no Dragon Pearl Jasmine. Now the world is a better place. These are hand-rolled by women in Fuan, in northern Fujian Province, China. When Mike met the woman who originated this lovely tea, he thanked her on behalf of all tea drinkers.
 Dry Leaves: Small rolled "pearls" of faded green and white leaves. They are very pretty.
 Liquor: A light and clear liquor that is tinged with a pale yellow.
 Aroma: There is no question here—jasmine and more jasmine!
 Flavors: What a wonderful tea! We looked long and hard to find a tea that is both sweet and very floral. Please enjoy it as is. There is no need to alter it all.

A lot of jasmine teas lean on the scent to cover a thin base, but this one starts with a green tea worth drinking on its own. I met one of the women in Fuan who rolls these pearls by hand, and I thanked her on behalf of tea drinkers everywhere.

Four Decades of Tradition

In 1983, John Harney set out to make tea an everyday luxury, hand-blending his first teas in the basement of his country inn in Salisbury, Connecticut.
Three generations later, we still follow his one rule: only buy and blend teas that make us smile. Today we blend more than 300 of them from a home base in Millerton, New York, where the third generation is adding blends of its own.

Pearls That Unfurl

Dragon Pearl Jasmine comes from Fuan, in northern Fujian Province, China, where the green tea with white buds are hand-rolled into small pearls by the women of the town and flavored using the best jasmine flowers later on. Years ago, Mike met the woman that said that she developed this lovely tea and thanked her on behalf of tea drinkers everywhere. Every year, we look to find tea that is both sweet and very floral.

How to Enjoy It

Dragon Pearl Jasmine is intensely floral, and best left just as it is. Here is how we make it when we want it at its best.

Water

Start with fresh spring or filtered water. It's nearly everything in the cup, and even a tea this bold takes on whatever's in the tap.

Hot

With its black tea base, you'll want to use boiling water (212ºF). Steep 5 minutes so the jasmine and sweetness have room to come forward.

  • 1 sachet per 12 oz mug
  • 1 teabag per 8 oz cup
  • 1 teaspoon loose (2.5 g) per 8 oz cup

Iced

Brew it double strength, twice the tea for the same water at 175F, then pour straight over a tall glass of ice. It stays floral and sweet as it dilutes instead of turning bitter.

Common questions

What does Dragon Pearl Jasmine taste like?
It is floral, sweet, and light, with the fresh green tea base carrying the scent of real jasmine blossoms. Brewed right it stays smooth and does not turn bitter.

Is Dragon Pearl Jasmine a green tea?
Yes. It is a green tea with a little white tea, hand-rolled into pearls in Fuan, China, then scented with real jasmine blossoms. The pearls slowly unfurl as they steep.

How do I brew Dragon Pearl Jasmine?
Because it is a green tea, use cooler water, about 175F, and steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling water can make it taste bitter, so let a kettle cool for a minute or two before pouring.

Does Dragon Pearl Jasmine have caffeine?
Yes. Dragon Pearl Jasmine has caffeine, about 40 to 60 mg per cup, a moderate amount. There is no decaf version of this tea.

Is Dragon Pearl Jasmine good with milk?
We usually enjoy it plain, so its floral sweetness comes through clearly. It is lovely hot or iced, but milk tends to cover the delicate jasmine, so we would skip it here.

Should I choose loose leaf or sachets?
Both formats give you the same hand-rolled pearls. Loose leaf lets you watch the pearls unfurl and adjust the amount to taste, while sachets are the tidy, grab-and-go choice for the office or travel.

Can I make Dragon Pearl Jasmine iced?
Yes. Brew it a little stronger with 175F water for 2 to 3 minutes, then pour over ice. It stays floral and refreshing, and we would keep it plain rather than adding milk.
