White Dragon Pearl (Bailongzhu) uses whole buds only, a baked green tea (\u003cem\u003ehōngqĭng\u003c\/em\u003e) base for deeper fragrance uptake, and dual-flower scenting with both jasmine and \u003cem\u003eMichelia alba\u003c\/em\u003e (white champaca). The rolled pearl form also seals the fragrance inside the tea rather than leaving it on the surface — which means the aroma releases progressively during brewing rather than fading quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: What does \u003cem\u003eMichelia alba\u003c\/em\u003e (báilán huā) add to the flavor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: \u003cem\u003eMichelia alba\u003c\/em\u003e blossoms have a creamy, warm, magnolia-like fragrance — slightly richer and less sharp than pure jasmine. When used alongside jasmine in scenting, it softens the floral edge and adds a rounded, almost buttery depth to the aroma and finish. It’s a traditional Guangxi technique, not a modern additive or flavoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: How many pearls per serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: We recommend 4–6 pearls per 150–200ml of water for hot brewing, or 8–10 pearls per 600ml for cold brew. Adjust to taste — more pearls produce a more intensely floral cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: How many steepings can I get?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Typically 3–5 quality infusions. The aroma is most intense on the first and second steep, then evolves into a gentler, sweeter register by the third and fourth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is this tea caffeinated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. As a green tea base, White Dragon Pearl contains moderate natural caffeine — comparable to other premium green teas, and generally lower than coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQ: Is it suitable as a gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Exceptionally so. The pearl form, dual-flower story, and immersive brewing ritual make White Dragon Pearl ovanyu’s most visually and experientially distinctive tea — a standout gift for tea lovers, hosts, or anyone who appreciates craft and ceremony in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44012789989439,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/09_____Shopify_4424a299-b071-4728-9511-29ee5c974987.jpg?v=1790757747","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/jasmine-tea-special-grade-white-dragon-pearl-bailongzhu-from-heng-county-guangxi-richly-fragrant-variety-150g","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
