2020 Yi Wu Sun-dried Dragon Pearl

The black tea in these 8g dragon pearls come from wild tea trees which are between 80 and 100 years old. The trees grow in the mountainous landscape of the Yi Wu mountains and, unlike other Yunnan black teas, were steeped, sun-dried and pressed. The tea is dense, velvety and has a long, sweet aftertaste with floral, honey and fruit aromas. A very beautiful black tea with especially pleasing packaging.

Flavour profile: honey, honeysuckle, elegant, smooth, sweet
