Jasmine Pearls — Craftfolio
Taste: Spearmint, Jasmine, Vanilla
Serving: Features 8 individually sealed bags. Each canister makes 25–30 cups of tea.
Only tea that has passed ten flawless steps can be called Fuzhou jasmine tea. It begins in the afternoon, picking buds that are just about to bloom. By night, when the petals open and the scent is at its peak, the flowers are layered with tea leaves. The temperature, humidity and airflow must be precisely balanced to let the fragrance enter the leaf without damaging it. One misstep such as a flower too open or a leaf with the wrong moisture will break the harmony. This is a craft that leaves no room for error.

FUZHOU, FUJIAN, CHINA
Region: Northeastern part of Fujian Province, China

Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, has a long-standing history and expertise in jasmine tea production. Its moderate subtropical climate, with mild winters and abundant rainfall, provides optimal conditions for the growth of fragrant jasmine blossoms.
What Makes Jasmine Pearl So Difficult to Create?
And this brings us back to the tea. Jasmine Pearl is considered a luxury not because it is expensive, but because it demands perfection.
True Fuzhou-style jasmine tea must pass through ten flawless steps. If even one step is compromised, the tea cannot be called jasmine tea at all.
The process begins in the afternoon, when unopened buds are picked at the exact moment before they bloom. By nightfall, when the petals open and the fragrance reaches its peak, the flowers are gently layered with tea leaves. Temperature, humidity and airflow must be adjusted with extreme precision. The fragrance must enter the leaf without burning it or causing it to collapse.
One flower that opens too widely can ruin the batch.
One leaf with slightly wrong moisture can break the balance.
One hour off can undo an entire day’s work.
This is why jasmine tea cannot be standardized. Even with a “perfect ratio,” nature shifts every day — the blossoms, the weather, the leaves. Only a master can read these changes and respond in the moment.
No shortcuts. No automation. No large-scale production.
This is what makes Jasmine Pearl a true luxury — A tea that can only exist in small batches, shaped entirely by the hands and intuition of a master.
And now, it is here
From our founder – Joey Zhou
Over the years, I’ve met quite a few well-known jasmine tea masters, but honestly, none of them left the same impression on me as Master Ni did. What really convinced me was his sincerity, the way he talks about his wife, the way he speaks about jasmine as something he’s lived with his whole life, and the way he believes good tea should respect both nature and the people who make it.
Jasmine tea isn’t an easy or profitable tea to make, doing it properly takes a huge amount of time, patience, and attention to detail, far more than most producers today are willing to put in. Yet jasmine is the only tea Master Ni has made in his entire life. He never chased trends or switched to teas that were easier to sell; he stayed with jasmine simply because he loves it. That sincerity stayed with me, and it’s the same value we try to hold onto at Chafolio. Now, we hope you can experience that through this tea as well.
