Dragon Lychee Pearls – Hand-Rolled Lychee Black Tea PearlsLychee is an exotic tropical fruit that's incredibly popular across Asia. In ancient China, it was a symbol of love, beauty, well-being and sensuality, and it's native to the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian — both also famous tea-growing regions. Pairing lychee with tea is only natural, and our Dragon Lychee Pearls celebrate this classic combination beautifully. These fine black tea leaves are hand-rolled into elegant pearls and scented with lychee essence. Lychee fruit has a distinct floral aroma and a fragrant, sweet taste, and its perfume-like notes complement the black tea's own natural floral character wonderfully. When steeped, the pearls slowly unfurl in your cup, producing a light golden liquor that's absolutely irresistible. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItDragon Lychee Pearls offer a smooth, naturally sweet black tea with an exotic floral twist. Watching the pearls open is a relaxing part of the ritual, and their slow unfurling means you can enjoy several flavorful infusions from the same leaves. It's a lovely everyday indulgence.
How to EnjoyEnjoy Dragon Lychee Pearls straight to appreciate their floral sweetness, or brew them strong and serve over ice for a refreshing, fragrant iced tea. Brew in a glass teapot to watch the pearls open, and pair the tea with dim sum, fresh fruit or light desserts. Exotic, fragrant and beautifully crafted, Dragon Lychee Pearls are a sweet taste of southern China. |

A little steeping tipUse freshly boiled water and keep an eye on the clock: steeping past the suggested time brings out a drier, more astringent cup.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
