Detail
|
The extraordinary White Dragon Pearl is a delicate hand rolled white tea. Each is individually handcrafted with care into a medium-sized “pearl” that gently unfurls as you steep it.Once steeped, the result is a delicate, fine flowery white tea with a mild flavor, and a gentle fruit blossom finish. White Dragon Pearl has a taste that is much more delicate than a Bai Hao Yin Zhen, or Bai Mu Dan.
The tea is picked in a ratio of just two leaves to every bud, following a strict quality and tasting standards introduced during the Ming Dynasty. Processing of the tea is kept to a minimum, with the freshly plucked leaves and buds hand-rolled, dried and withered almost immediately after picking!

Drinking
It is best brewed using a teapot and strainer or stainless steel mesh tea ball. If using a tea ball allow room for tea leaf expansion by using one at least 2 inches in diameter for one 8 oz. cup. Use 2 tsp. of tea to brew one 8 oz. cup. Bring water to boil, remove from heat for 2-3 minutes. Water should be at 165-175 degrees. Brewing white teas at temperatures slightly less than boiling brings out the subtleties and sweetness. Brew for 2-3 minutes. This tea can be used for 3-4 infusions. Our teas have a natural sweetness and do not usually require sweeteners.
