Description
A superb Grand Cru flavoured with genuine jasmine flowers. In the spring, the leaves are rolled into the form of pearls. The tea is then placed in contact with the freshly-picked flowers throughout the night, when jasmine releases all its aromatic power.
A subtle hint of jasmine beautifully complements this smooth green tea to create an exceptional blend with floral, opulent, and fresh notes.
