The difference between this Fujian Jasmine Pearl tea and the Jasmine Phoenix tea is very, very marked. Firstly, this Fujian tea is much more polite and refined about the jasmine flavor; you could call it muted, with almost hints of grape which high-quality jasmine is good for. It lingers on the tip of your tongue and is not very full-bodied, so it has a refreshing quality to it. The Phoenix pearls by contrast are overpoweringly jasmine, without the grape notes and more floral tones, and it’ll hog up your whole mouth. I see now why this is such high quality- to me, this is how a good jasmine tea should be. (I may even steep it five minutes to see if I can get just a wee bit more flavor from it. YUM!)
