Description

Ingredients
Chinese green tea*, jasmine*. *From organic farming. No added flavourings.
Terroir, cultivar and leaf biochemistry
Les Pêchers des Perles is an organic Chinese green tea hand-rolled into small pearls, then scented with jasmine according to tradition. The Camellia sinensis leaves are first heat-fixed to stop oxidation, then placed in contact with fresh jasmine flowers, which impart their fragrance. This jasmine pearl green tea contains no added flavourings : the fragrance comes from the flowers themselves. The rolling protects the leaf, its catechins and its L-theanine, and allows for a slow infusion.
Organoleptic profile and liquor
In the water, the pearls gradually unfurl to reveal whole leaves. The liquor is pale yellow and very clear. The nose is floral, fresh and distinctly jasmine-scented. On the palate, the cup is smooth and precise : the jasmine accompanies the tea without dominating it, the texture is silky, the astringency light. This pearl-rolled green tea stands out for its finesse and the length of its floral finish.
Brewing protocol (gong fu cha and Western) and storage
Western method: 2 g for 20 cl, or around ten pearls, water at 75 °C, 2 to 3 minutes. Gong fu cha: 5 g for 10 cl in a gaiwan or teapot, water at 75-80 °C, 40 seconds, then up to four infusions: the pearls unfurl with each cup. Watching the leaves open in a glass cup is part of the pleasure. Keep the tin closed, in a dry place, away from any odours: jasmine is delicate.
