Pu-erh dragon pearls are hand-rolled balls of leaf – typically one pearl per gaiwan or small pot for a single session. Ripe (shou) pu-erh is generally dark, smooth and earthy, with a soft finish across many short infusions.
This 150 g gift box holds about 25 pearls as packed by the supplier. It is a presentation-ready size for giving, or for keeping portioned ripe pu-erh on hand at home.
Ingredients: Ripe pu-erh tea. Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from light and strong odors.
