Legend has it that a benevolent dragon agreed to help a young orphan cure her ailing brother and that said dragon flew into the air, let out a agonizing screech and a pearl sprouted from around the dragons neck and fell to the ground where a tea plant immediately started growing.

I absolutely adore the look of these pearls, but I adore the look of any tea pearls it seems :D Unfortunately, the flavor is not as exciting as the looks of the dry leaf, although it is not by any means a bad tea. I notice an interesting note of buttery sweetness. Something I rather like in green teas. It is slightly too weak, however, and sinks quickly in the overall correct but sensationally uneventful (?) green tea taste. I would definitely be happy to accept a cup of this when offered but probably wouldn’t need to stock it in my cupboard.
It was really nice to try it, though. Thank you, whoever placed it in the Box (Nicole?) :D
Hi Nicole — thank you for your order and for your review. I hope you do enjoy the Dragon Pearls — it’s a very exquisite green tea. For Jasmine teas, see our Jasmine Gold Dragon Organic and Madame Butterfly Jasmine, a personal favorite of mine. Happy Brewing!
