ARIEL Strawberry Pearls

Hand-rolled jasmine-scented green tea pearls blended with dried strawberry bits, built for tea programs that want visible craft on the shelf and in the cup. Available in a 125 g loose leaf tin – a destination format for specialty retail and tasting programs rather than a high-volume bulk position. The pearls unfurl as they steep, giving guests a visual cue that anchors the premium price point.

Tasting Notes

The cup pours a clear pale yellow with a soft jasmine aroma at the front. Strawberry follows on the palate – ripe and sweet rather than candied – while the jasmine-scented green tea base carries a quiet floral round-out underneath. Low astringency for a green tea, with a long, clean finish that holds up to a second steep.

Blend

The base is whole leaf Chinese green tea, hand-rolled into pearls and scented with jasmine before flavouring. The jasmine character is built into the leaf itself rather than added as separate petals, which keeps the cup clean and the loose blend visually focused on the pearls. Dried strawberry bits and natural flavours carry the fruit character; no other botanicals compete for the palate.

Brewing

Steep 2.5 g per 250 ml at 75–85 °C for 3 minutes. The lower temperature window matters: jasmine pearls bloom slowly and over-steeping at full boil draws out astringency that masks the floral character. A 125 g tin yields approximately 50 portions at 2.5 g per cup. Each 250 ml serving contains zero calories.
