Sheng Puerh Dragon Ball with Peony flower

Wild, Raw & Blooming-A Tea Like No Other

Forget everything you know about blooming tea. This is something far more extraordinary.

Introducing our Sheng Puerh Dragon Balls- hand-tied bundles of premium raw Puerh tea leaves, each one cradling a delicate whole peony flower. Drop one into hot water, and watch in wonder as it slowly unfurls, releasing not just a beautiful bloom, but the wild, untamed energy of Yunnan's ancient tea forests.

What Makes This Special

While conventional "blooming teas" are often made with cheap green tea and artificial flavors, our Dragon Balls are crafted from authentic Sheng (raw) Puerh- the real deal. Made from high-altitude Yunnan big-leaf tea, this is tea that ages and evolves, with a complexity that ordinary blooming teas simply cannot match.

The Magic of the Unfurling

Drop a Dragon Ball into your glass teapot or gaiwan. As hot water embraces it, the tightly bound leaves slowly relax and expand, releasing the peony flower from its leafy cocoon. What emerges is a stunning visual display...a whole flower gracefully blooming before your eyes, surrounded by the deep, golden-amber liquor of raw Puerh. It's a performance for the senses.

Flavor Profile

• Aroma: Fresh, floral peony with underlying notes of wild honey, green orchard fruits, and a subtle hint of forest floor

• Taste: Bright and lively with a gentle astringency that awakens the palate, balanced by sweet floral notes from the peony. Layers of apricot, pear, and a whisper of wild herbs unfold with each sip

• Finish: Clean, refreshing, and slightly sweet with a lingering floral perfume and a pleasant, gentle "huigan"- that sweet, returning aftertaste that Sheng Puerh is famous for

The Wild Side

Unlike ripe (Shu) Puerh, our Sheng (raw) Puerh is naturally fermented over time. It's more vibrant, more alive, with a bright, energetic character that many tea lovers find utterly addictive. The addition of the peony flower tempers the raw edges, adding a layer of soothing floral sweetness that makes this tea approachable even for those new to Sheng Puerh.
