Mutiara Melati Organik

I was a little skeptical about spending this much on tea, but these pearls unfurl beautifully and the jasmine flavor is delicate instead of overpowering. Brewing them feels like a small ritual, and the smooth green tea base has zero bitterness even when I get distracted and let it steep too long.

The scent hits you the moment you open the bag—floral but not perfumey, just clean and calming. I steeped a teaspoon for three minutes and the liquor turned a soft golden green, with a sweetness that lingers on the tongue long after the cup is empty.

These little pearls unfurl beautifully in the glass teapot, releasing a jasmine aroma that fills the whole kitchen. The flavor is incredibly smooth with none of the bitterness I get from bagged green tea, and the organic leaves really do make a difference.
