This might be my favorite tea I've tried from WK. The flavor is fantastic, lighter than expected and never bitter. I'm not someone who puts milk or sugar or anything like that in my tea, so this one is perfect. It re-brews incredibly well. I use just one pearl for my cup of tea and the amount of flavor is worth re-brewing it again and again throughout the day.

It's worth trying a sample of this tea just for the delightful experience of unwrapping the pearl, tied up with a little golden twist tie, and watching it unfurl in the water. Beautiful.

At 1st I didn't know what to expect I've read the description[which is an understatement] and felt adventurous so I thought I'd try the sample, BIG mistake, I found out the hard way after my long anticipated delivery which was earlier than expected arrived, sent me into a near fever pitch as I frantically sifted thru my numerous selections for the sweet sought-after prize, I brewed "my precious" dragon pearl which are beautifully crafted and hand rolled for that sought-after superior flavor and was immediately taken aback by the extremely fragrant bouquet which assaults the olfactory senses beyond comprehension, then comes "THE TASTING" the 1st thing comes to mind is I haven't been LIVING until this moment rings a bell, then comes absolute complete utter
dissatisfaction in YOURSELF as you tasted the entire serving before you knew it and started kicking yourself for the small selection size. Amazing product highly recommended.

I wish there had been more specific instructions on the package about how many pearls or how many grams of weight to add into an 8oz cup. A teaspoon is an unreliable tool for something of this shape. So I had to guess. Seems like it’s a mostly clean and general black tea profile to me; not high on astringency or bitterness, thankfully. Some hints of malt or cocoa when I added a small amount of sugar. Not as malty as most Irish Breakfast blends, for reference. I tried 3 pearls, but I’m curious if 4 would be better or too strong.

This tea has a naturally sweet flavor that has hints of honey. It’s amazing black and it doesn’t need any milk. My only gripe was for my palette it needed 2 pearls instead of one per cup. It nice to not have to measure though. Just drop some pearls in the cup and steep away. Solid 8/10 for me.
