This tea was one of mu first from my foray into good-quality loose-leaf tea. I love the little pearls and, unlike Adagio’s Black Dragon Pearls which are more like balls (insert joke here), these actually are dainty little pearls of tea.
I wanted to watch the pearls expand properly so I cut open the sachet and dumped the contents into my strainer. I love watching this tea of tea unfurl – it’s almost like a work of art right in my mug. The jasmine is delicately-fragrant but not overpowering (ie. I don’t feel like I’m drinking perfume). I got two good infusions out of these leaves and I think I could easily get one or two more.

I am so in love with jasmine pearl teas. I don’t know why, but there is something very soft and sweet about them.
Have you ever tried resteeping? We generally get a good 3-4 steeps out of the DPJ, which for the price, is awesome! 2nd steep is the best imho.
Yes the 2nd steep definitely is the best – by that time the leaves have had time of unfurl and expose themselves to the water. I usually don’t resteep more than once because I tend to get bored with the same tea after two cups – yes I’m fickle. :)
