Also known as Long Zhu Tea, Dragon Pearl Green Tea is handcrafted from the first tender harvest of spring, using only the unopened bud and the two youngest leaves of each tea shoot. Carefully hand-rolled into elegant pearls, the leaves slowly unfurl during brewing to reveal the complete spring shoot from which each pearl was crafted.
Harvested during the first weeks of the season, these young leaves produce a smooth, full-bodied infusion with fresh vegetal notes, delicate floral aromas, gentle sweetness, and a naturally creamy finish. Fine silvery hairs on the unopened buds are a hallmark of the tea's exceptional quality and careful handling.
Tea Expert Note: Dragon Pearl Green Tea is prized not only for its flavor, but also for the experience of watching each pearl unfold. Brew it in a glass teapot or cup to witness the transformation from a tightly rolled pearl into a complete tea shoot—a beautiful reminder that every pearl was handcrafted from just one bud and two tender leaves.
