Black Dragon Pearls

Adagio Teas – Black Dragon Pearls

Adagio Teas Black Dragon Pearls is a rare, hand-rolled variety of black tea with a smooth, rich and chocolatey taste. Note how the tea is carefully rolled into pearls which, upon steeping, will unfurl to give a display along with its pleasant aroma and wonderful taste.

Hailing from the Yunnan province, this black tea version of the popular Dragon Pearl is comprised of only the highest quality leaves and buds expertly rolled into a large pearl-like shape. Black Dragon Pearls are naturally sweet and smooth, with a touch of earthiness. Subtle cocoa notes whisper gently as each pearl unfurls, delivering a superior tea experience not to be missed. We suggest using 2-3 pearls per cup for a sublime tea drinking experience.

While steeping, observe how the rolled pearls of high quality black tea unfurl to show their true shape as they release the delicious tannins and flavors into the hot water. Add sugar or milk to taste, these teas are full of natural flavor on their own.

Fresh From Origin
In Western culture, dragons are the big bads of stories, be it Sleeping Beauty’s shape-shifting Maleficent or The Hobbit’s dwarf-eating Smaug. In China and other Asian countries, dragons are often benevolent creatures, known for their intellect, supernatural powers, and affinity over water. Once used to depict the emperor’s power, they have long been symbols of power and good luck. Sometimes depicted as holding flaming pearls to symbolize their spiritual energy, wisdom, power, and more! They have been key figures in Chinese mythology and culture for thousands of years. It should come as no surprise then that our black dragon pearls come from Yunnan, the birthplace of a beverage nearly as old as the dragon’s themselves.
