Xiaowang, Zhejiang, China
From leaf selection through to shaping, the effort behind this is arduous. Firstly, the white streaks in these pearls indicate that young shoots were carefully picked for quality. For scenting, the tea is then laid over racks of jasmine blossoms and meticulously exchanged five times to ensure a thorough infusion.
After the scenting, the tea is carefully rolled and shaped to minimise the loss of essential oils.
