Black Dragon Pearls

A rare and exquisite gem from the tea-growing highlands of Yunnan, Black Dragon Pearls are a testament to the artistry and dedication of skilled tea artisans.

Comprised only of the finest tender leaves and buds, each pearl is meticulously hand-rolled into a captivating orb, resembling a miniature dragon slumbering within its silken cocoon.

As the pearls unfurl in the warmth of water, they release a captivating aroma that is both alluring and mysterious.

Hints of cocoa mingle with subtle earthy notes, creating a symphony of scents that tantalize the senses.

The liquor is a rich, deep red, imbued with the essence of the finest black tea. The first sip is a revelation, as the smooth, velvety texture envelops the palate.

Flavors of dark chocolate and roasted malt emerge, complemented by a hint of sweetness that lingers on the tongue.

As the tea continues to steep, the subtle nuances of the flavor profile become more pronounced.

Earthy notes deepen, and hints of dried fruit and spice emerge, adding layers of complexity to the overall experience.

Black Dragon Pearls is a tea that is meant to be savored, slowly and deliberately. Each sip is a journey of discovery, as the intricate layers of flavor unfold and reveal their hidden depths.

It is a tea that is both invigorating and calming, stimulating the mind while simultaneously soothing the soul.

A tea that is as rare and precious as the dragon itself.

Lore

In Western tales, dragons are often portrayed as fearsome antagonists, such as the shapeshifting Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty or the dwarf-hoarding Smaug from

The Hobbit. However, in China and other Asian cultures, dragons are revered as benevolent creatures associated with intellect, supernatural abilities, and dominion over water.

They have long been symbols of imperial authority, good fortune, and spiritual enlightenment. Depictions of dragons clutching flaming pearls represent their wisdom, power, and vital energy.

For millennia, dragons have held a prominent place in Chinese mythology and culture.

It is therefore fitting that our black dragon pearls hail from Yunnan, the birthplace of a beverage that is almost as ancient as dragons themselves.
