Description

Hailing from the Yunnan province, this black tea version of the popular Dragon Pearl is naturally sweet and smooth with a touch of earthiness. Comprised of only the highest quality leaves and buds, expertly rolled into a large pearl-like shape. Subtle cocoa notes whisper gently as each pearl unfurls delivering a superior tea experience not to be missed. We suggest using 2-3 Dragon Pearls per cup for a sublime tea drinking experience.

"This tizzle is the shiz nizzle bam snip snap. Dude, its the shim sham if you know what I mean. You can drop 2 of your balls in the pot and they spread out to make one mean cup. The balls are so awesome, sometimes I just play with them before I brew, yo. "

"Black Dragon Pearls is a rich smooth tasting tea. I just LOVE the subtle sweet cocoa notes. This tea is one of my all time favorites. This tea is perfect to wake up in the morning, or a pick me up treat, in the afternoon. :)"

"Dragons must be delicious creatures. If this is what the balls taste like imagine a more tender piece like the buttocks. I hope you have the hit points because this dragon master delivers 5 damage."

"Very very good... slight smoky note, slight dried fruit note, good for more than one infusion, and no bitterness. Astringency is very light."

"Mmm. This is everything that Fujian Baroque wishes it was. The pearls are beautiful and it has a good powdery cocoa flavor."
