This tea is picked in April/May and processed by hand by rolling each leaf and a bud into tiny pearl sized balls. The tea is then held until August and September when the finest jasmine blossoms are in bloom. It is at this time that the inclusion of the jasmine to the tea happens in two applications after which the jasmine petals are removed. When the petals are removed, women begin rolling each leaf and a bud into tiny pearl-sized balls. Once rolled, the tea is wrapped in silk mesh and dried by fire to set the form.
