One of the best green teas I've had in a long time!
Softly sweet with nut-like notes, this China green large pearl takes its time to fully unfurl.

One of the best green teas I've had in a long time!
Love the way this blooms in the water. A pretty good green tea overall.
Nice subtle earthy tea. I usually use more tea than directed to get a stronger flavor.
Takes a while to fully unfurl. Worth brewing for about 4 cups.
Very tasty for their price point; earthy without feeling like you re drinking grass. Works best with a low temp and goes great with a little lemon and honey.
Phenomenal taste, surprised by how delicious and drinkable this one was. Brewed a little longer to let leaves fully unfurl.
Not my favorite. It's cheaper so I thought I'd try it but doesn't have much flavor to me. I like a tea that has a little more personality.
Not my FAVORITE favorite green tea, but still nice!
I really enjoyed this tea. I steeped mine at a higher temp and longer since the recommended 3minutes wasn’t long enough for the pearls to unfurl. The second steep I’m going to try a lower temp. Nice smooth taste with a smell that reminds me of fresh tomatoes on the vine. Weird smell for a tea but I enjoyed it.
A lovely green tea. Just the right size for my travel mug.
Very very mild. First steeping was a bit weak for me. They didn't really have a chance to fully unfurl. Later steepings were better.
What fun to use these & watch unfurl. I can get a small pitcher worth of this wonderful tea. Again I don't steep as long because I enjoy a lighter flavor...
This is good either hot or cold! I've used it in my iced tea maker and I really enjoy the subtle, smooth taste.
Love this tea. Has a nice mild smooth tea. Love I can sleep up to 5 times. Delicious
Love these, especially as a portable option. Soothing, smooth and a conversation starter. Most people don’t get to see tea pearls.
Perfect combination of tasty green tea with the ever amusing unfolding pearl steeping process!
A wonderful take on a classic from high end tea shops. I am used to the pearls being much smaller, but the large pearls make for an intriguing and more developed flavor. Wonderfully light and aromatic.
I really like these pearls! I had to be careful with the water temp and steep time. The first steep it was a bit bitter so we re steeped at lower temp and time and it tasted very good. Its very cool to watch the huge pearls unravel in the pot.
I didn't expect them to be so large. They also didn't have much flavor to them, they were alright.
Was confused at first about the portion sizing, but delicious and refreshing, no matter hot or cold steeped! A great green tea, with great flavor!
I like this tea a lot and you don’t have to measure it. 3 minutes wasn’t quite strong enough so I do 4 or 5.
Nothing better than this tea and you don't even have to measure. I have only had it as iced tea.
Not very strong tasting, which it my preference. You might like it if you prefer very mild teas
I loved the green dragon Pearl s I brewed them gong fu style
I was surprised by the size of the pearls (compared to the black tea pearls these are much larger) but it was great for brewing a large quanti-tea at a single time and for many subsequent brews (I think we got 4 or 5 before there was a notable weakness to the tea). Solid fruitiness and not very grassy as some greens can be.
My go-to tea wonderful flavor. Even the second steeping is just as good as the first.
For the price, these are phenomenal. Generously sized pearls that can easily make 6-9 8oz cups. One of my favorite everyday teas
These are much higher quality than I thought they would be!
DO NOT BREAK THE PEARLS WHEN STEEPING! I made the mistake of doing this and the cup was undrinkable, as it was extremely bitter. However, upon brewing properly, it came out better but too light for my taste. Hardly any flavor to me, but my sense of taste isn't the strongest.
Perfectly portioned! Also had great flavor. Definitely a great tea
Massive balls were jam-packed with outrageous flavor and liquid tranquility.
I am a huge fan of green tea, and this does not disappoint.
Always satisfying to watch a pearl open. A nice classic green. Rebrews very well.
This a very good tea that you must give time to brew. Give to little time and the pearl will not open enough to make a flavorful tea. Very tasty... if you are patient!
Beautiful Large green dragon pearls. Enough for 2-3 cups brew! I love it!
Wonderful, and elegant are these tea pearls. This tea is delicious and the pearls are very beautiful unfurling over steeps. Plenty of tea out of each pearl. Well worth it and delicious.
Fun rolled shape, green tea flavor has good depth to it.
Nice size for the personalitea pots. Flavor is a combination of a sleeping dragon meets dragonwell.
These are both convenient and delicious. Very nice mild flavor, adding a teaspoon of honey made it even better.
I only rate this so poorly because of just how absurdly weak this tea is. I steeped at above and below the temperature recommended as well as the same temperature. I ve played with timing. The only thing I haven t tried is basically using the whole Pearl for a single cup of tea. When I get any flavor at all, I ve either over steeped it or steeped it too hot. When I go for anywhere near the recommended instructions, it just tastes like hot water with whatever you add to your tea. If I ve got to add an entire Pearl for a single cup just to get something decent, it ll be even less appealing to me because it s now not just weak, but horribly expensive for what you get. I m no stranger to expensive teas, but I am not a fan of how weak this tea is.
very mild, light tea that can be brewed multiple times with 1 pearl
My boyfriend adores the pearl teas, and the green dragon is no exception to this rule. It's awesome to watch the pearls unfurl as they steep
I love the flavor of these green dragon pearls. A true green tea. The ft that I can easily brew it 3+ times and still get great flavor from each pearl. I also will use a tea pot to make multiple cups in one steeping from just one pearl. A weekend favorite.
Soft sweet with a subtle nutty taste is how i would describe this tea. Similar to the Sleeping Dragon tea but with that slight nutty taste. You can easily get 2-3 steepings. You will want to steep this at a minimum of 2 times as the pearls don't fully unfurl on the first steeping at 180F (82C). Bring the temp upto 186F (86C) on the second steep at the same 3 mins. It is excellent definitely worth trying!
The tea is a solid green tea. A little earthy and very pleasant. The novelty of the pearls is always fun. Each pearl is large and it says in the description enough for two cups, but I really think it can make more than that, and can clearly take two, maybe even three steepings!
Super Fun! One can make a large pot of tea. It's the perfect tea to drink on a lazy Sunday Morning! The leave are big and full with a mild flavor.
Good flavor, although I recommend brewing one pearl at a time or it may get too strong.
Not always in stock so when it appears it's definitely worth stocking up on.
Enjoyed the taste, and lasting flavor these provided.
This is my second order of these pearls and I absolutely love the flavor. I've only had this tea hot but think that it would also be good.
Wonderful flavor and smell in these pearls. Great wake up blend.
