Watch the brewing process of Pu-erh Tea Dragon Pearl (Dragon Ball Tea) — a unique compressed tea offering rich earthy flavors from Yunnan, China.

Characteristics

  • Pu-erh tea is compressed into small, round pearls, called "Dragon Ball Tea." Unlike traditional tea cakes, it requires no prying, making it more convenient to carry, brew, and preserve the tea leaves' integrity.
  • Crafted through withering, fixation, rolling, and sun-drying, resulting in tightly rolled, handcrafted tea balls.
  • Each Dragon Ball weighs approximately 8g (±0.5g).
  • For the first infusion, steep until the outer layer gently unfurls.

Flavor

  • Thick, delicate tea leaves with surfaces covered in tiny hairs release a high, elegant aroma after brewing.
  • The tea liquor is gentle and refreshing, with a smooth texture and mild character, suitable for any occasion.
  • Offers a long-lasting, sweet aftertaste that leaves a memorable impression.
  • Each infusion gradually unveils vibrant flavors and rich depth, showcasing the tea's complexity and depth.
