The verdict
Same perfume, two different bodies underneath.
Dragon Pearl is hand-rolled green tea scented with jasmine over five nights — vegetal body, medium caffeine, the pearls unspool in the cup like a slow reveal. Jasmine Silver Needle is white tea with the same floral overlay — lighter body, almost no caffeine, delicate enough that the jasmine does most of the talking. The green is the weekday cup. The white is the one you brew when nothing else is happening.
Pick Tealyra Jasmine if
You want jasmine with body. The unfurling pearls are half the experience.
Pick Jasmine Silver if
You want jasmine with air. Delicate, low-caffeine, close to nothing in the cup.
