Jasmine Dragon Pearls - No tea shelf can be complete without these wonderful tiny tea balls. Jasmine tea is actually infused with the intoxicating scent of Jasmine flowers. The flowers are placed under the drying tea leaves which absorb and preserve their aromas. Several leaves are rolled together to create a pearl. When brewing, the pearls unroll from their tight spheres into full leafs which release the scent of the tea. Use about 5-10 pearls for each serving, less if you are going to drop them at the bottom of a cup and leave them in the liquor (liquid). Teacup brewing will produce a deeper yellow brown tea which can be strong. Use boiling water at about 190 degrees to extract the hearty jasmine taste. Steep for about 3 minutes to allow the pearls to open and release the sweetness of the Jasmine. Use 3-4 times, if the water was not too hot. A favorite.
