Meng Song Hong Long Zhu

OUT OF STOCK. Try our Meng Song Hong Cha– made with the same tea!

Early Spring 2020

Handrolled Black Tea from Meng Song, Yunnan, China

Each Long Zhu, otherwise known as Dragon Pearl, unfurls more and more with each steep, creating a complex and evolving experience – ideal for multiple infusions gongfu-style, or one can go for a nice big pot/mug.  Made from the same tea material as our Meng Song Hong Cha, enjoy it as a Dragon Pearl Tea! This shows how different a tea can be based on a different shape and density! The dragon pearls unfurl slowly, hence giving a slower infusion, spreading out the taste and aroma over many steepings. This one has less of a POW, and more of a smooth cups with notes of cacao, cured tobacco leaf, & dates.

~8g per Dragon Pearl
