From Fuzhou in China's South Eastern province of Fujian, these sweet-scented Jasmine pearls exude the most divine aroma.

To make this tea, young buds from white tea bushes are harvested in the early spring and then hand-rolled into tight pearls. The dried pearls are dried and set aside until the jasmine flowers comes into season, and then lay down with fresh jasmine flowers for 5 times. 

Jasmine Pearls are known to relieve tension and are also thought to be an aphrodisiac.
