Description

Dian Hong Dragon Pearls (“Long Zhu – 龙珠”) is a an unusual pearl-shaped black tea from Yunnan. The pearls unfurl during brewing to produce a medium amber liquor that is light and sweet. The subtle character of this tea is floral and malty with fruity notes of peaches and tart cherries.

Dragon Pearl is a special tea from Yunnan Province of China. Dian Hong, literally Yunnan Red, refers to the origin, which is Yunnan Province, as well as the type of tea – red according to Chinese classification (called black tea in Europe). The name Dragon Pearl refers to the unusual shape and style of this type of tea. During the manufacture process, the tea leafs are tied together into a large size pearl shapes prior to drying. After the drying, the leaves retain this shape, but once they are submerged in the hot water, they open up to form a flower. This peculiar sort of Dian Hong black tea that we source in China is made from high quality tea leaves, yielding a complex taste and fantastic aroma of the brewed tea.
