Jasmine tea is the epitome of Chinese tea culture

It is a delicately flavored green tea that has stood for purity, tranquility, and balance for centuries. Its origins trace back to the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD), when jasmine blossoms were first used to impart an enchanting, floral aroma to fine jasmine tea. What was once reserved for the imperial court is today a true national beverage in China – and a worldwide symbol of harmony and mindful enjoyment.

The Jasmine Pearls variety, also known as Zhen Zhu, is considered particularly exquisite. This tea artistry is among the oldest and most elaborate forms of jasmine flavoring. Originally, it was a tribute tea – a gift offered by Chinese tea masters to emperors to show their respect and craftsmanship. Each individual pearl symbolically represents patience, mindfulness, and artisanal perfection.

Today, this jasmine tea is part of the Hand-picked Teas Collection at SteinKunstWerk – curated by tea specialists, lovingly packaged, and perfectly combinable with our scented candles and ritual objects. Thus, every cup becomes a small moment of inner peace.

🌿 Production & Tradition

For centuries, Zhen Zhu has been produced using an almost unchanged method: The freshly picked green tea is first lightly withered and then hand-rolled into small pearls. Afterwards, tea masters layer tea and fresh jasmine blossoms alternately. Through gentle warmth, the blossoms open and release their delicate aroma into the tea leaves.

Depending on the desired intensity, this process is repeated several times – always with fresh blossoms. The result is a naturally fragrant tea with a harmonious balance of floral sweetness and subtle freshness. The jasmine blossoms are then carefully removed, leaving only their pure, essential bouquet in the jasmine tea. This traditional flavoring distinguishes genuine Jasmine Pearls from industrially scented teas – here, pure handcraft is in every pearl.

☕ Taste & Character

Gentle, fruity, floral: The infusion displays a pale golden yellow and emanates the typical, delicate fragrance of fresh jasmine blossoms. The taste is soft, round, and accompanied by a subtle sweetness. The green tea base brings a light freshness and natural clarity – perfectly balanced between delicate and invigorating. This tea has a calming effect without causing fatigue – ideal for mindful breaks, meditation, or simply a moment for yourself.

With each infusion, the aroma unfolds anew – from floral top notes over a soft, almost honey-like middle to a mild, mineral aftertaste. This makes Jasmine Pearls a ritual tea, ideal for multiple infusions, revealing new facets with every cup.

🔮 Ritual & Mindfulness

At SteinKunstWerk, we understand jasmine tea as part of a conscious ritual. Light a Tarot candle, inhale the fragrance, and observe how the small pearls open in the hot water. This slow unfolding is more than a visual spectacle – it reminds us that calm, patience, and warmth can touch all senses.

Enhance your tea ritual with a matching tea bowl or incense holder and enjoy the combination of light, fragrance, and taste. This creates an atmosphere that both clarifies and grounds – a moment of pure mindfulness.

🍯 Preparation – how to make the perfect infusion

• Tea quantity: approx. 10 g Jasmine Pearls per liter of water
• Water temperature: approx. 80 °C – not boiling, to protect the delicate leaves
• Steeping time: 2–3 minutes (shorter = finer & more floral, longer = stronger & sweeter)
• Multiple infusions: up to 3 times possible – with decreasing strength but increasing softness

Tip: Use a glass teapot or a light porcelain cup to watch the small pearls open. This is not only beautiful to behold but part of Chinese tea tradition, where the visual experience is as important as the taste.

🌸 Effect & Ingredients

Jasmine tea naturally contains valuable minerals and antioxidants. The most important ingredients include fluorine, magnesium, potassium, copper, caffeine, tannins, saponins, and essential oils, as well as vitamins A, C, and B1. The combination of mild caffeine and essential jasmine oil has a calming and simultaneously stimulating effect – ideal for moments when you need energy without feeling restless.

🌿 Storage & Shelf Life

Please store in a cool, dry, and airtight place, away from light and strong odors. This way, the delicate jasmine aroma remains stable for a long time. With proper storage, the shelf life is approximately 24 months. Matching tea caddies and bowls can be found in our collection for your personal ritual.
