Generously sized for teapot brewing, this extra-large pearl gives the term tea ball new meaning. Compressed fermented five-year-old shou style pu erh leaves are wonderfully earthy, smooth and comforting. They take second infusions well as they slowly unfurl or pop one in your travel tumbler for a day of smooth, earthy sips.

Pu Erh Tea
CAFFEINE
High
A fuller caffeine level, ideal for morning or early afternoon, and typically still lower than coffee.

These are designed for use with 24oz of water. They actually pair perfectly with our personaliTEA pots.

I have been breaking up the 'pearls' into four portions each and using one portion per my rather large teamug (about 16oz.). Then resteeping that potion once. So, in my opinion a teapot brewing can be quite large depending on how strong you want it to be.

I use one pearl for 2 separate 16oz infusions. For me, using 24 oz. the second steep was weaker than I like for Pu'erh.

I have read that the dante is a minimum of 3 years. How aged are the pearls? And, is it true that pu-erh poe is aged seven years?

How many pearls come in 3oz and 16 oz packages?

For those who don't like doing the math, that works out to approximately 18-19 pearls in 3 oz. and 100-101 pearls in 16 oz. Using Adagio's number of 24 oz. of water for one pearl, you are looking at about 300 8 oz. cups of tea in the 16 oz. bag.

Hello Sallie! Each pearl is approximately 4.5 grams. Hope this helps!
