The Captain’s Quarters – Buddha’s Tears Loose Leaf Tea Tin

THE ‘CAPTAIN’S QUARTERS’ BUDDHA’S TEARS TEA TIN

From the shipmaster’s chambers comes this premium tea of high-grade, single-origin provenance.The ‘Captain’s Quarters’ Buddha’s tea tin boasts 60 grams of premium jasmine downy pearls. Also known as ‘Dragon Pearl’ tea, this Chinese green tea and jasmine blend is beloved for its unique shape. Upon infusion, the ‘pearls’ unfurl into a wiry tangle of leaves that release the most aromatic floral scent when brewed. It also takes on the loveliest light golden hue when infused.No wonder the captain keeps this one under lock and key.

Pairing this tea with milk or honey would mar its pristine taste. Buddha’s Tears are best enjoyed on their own at any time of day. Our unique jasmine downy pearls combine jasmine flowers with a blend of high-grade green tea. This tea type boasts high levels of antioxidants that help rejuvenate the body and calm the mind. This blend is considered to be of premium quality as the balls are made from only the buds and first leaves of the tea plant (camellia sinensis). In fact, the ‘downy’ in jasmine downy pearls is a reference to the soft hairs that only cover the newly formed buds of a tea plant.

An ethereal blend that doubles as an indulgent gift for stockings and Christmas party hosts alike. If you want more from the captain’s stores, be sure to explore the Silver Needles and Gyokuro tea tins too. Otherwise, check out our entire 2022 ‘Age of Sail’ collection here.
