Black Dragon Pearls Tea

Black Dragon Pearls Tea

Black Dragon Pearls 

Black Dragon Pearls

A rare and exquisite Black Tea gem from the tea-growing highlands of Yunnan, Black Dragon Pearls are a testament to the artistry and dedication of skilled tea artisans. 

Comprised only of the finest tender leaves and buds, each pearl is meticulously hand-rolled into a captivating orb, resembling a miniature dragon slumbering within its silken cocoon.

As the pearls unfurl in the warmth of water, they release a captivating aroma that is both alluring and mysterious. 

Hints of cocoa mingle with subtle earthy notes, creating a symphony of scents that tantalize the senses.

The liquor is a rich, deep red, imbued with the essence of the finest black tea. The first sip is a revelation, as the smooth, velvety texture envelops the palate.

Flavors of dark chocolate and roasted malt emerge, complemented by a hint of sweetness that lingers on the tongue.

As the tea continues to steep, the subtle nuances of the flavor profile become more pronounced. 

Earthy notes deepen, and hints of dried fruit and spice emerge, adding layers of complexity to the overall experience.

Black Dragon Pearls is a tea that is meant to be savored, slowly and deliberately. Each sip is a journey of discovery, as the intricate layers of flavor unfold and reveal their hidden depths.

It is a tea that is both invigorating and calming, stimulating the mind while simultaneously soothing the soul.

A tea that is as rare and precious as the dragon itself.

Lore

In Western tales, dragons are often portrayed as fearsome antagonists, such as the shapeshifting Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty or the dwarf-hoarding Smaug from 

The Hobbit. However, in China and other Asian cultures, dragons are revered as benevolent creatures associated with intellect, supernatural abilities, and dominion over water. 

They have long been symbols of imperial authority, good fortune, and spiritual enlightenment. Depictions of dragons clutching flaming pearls represent their wisdom, power, and vital energy. 

For millennia, dragons have held a prominent place in Chinese mythology and culture. 

It is therefore fitting that our black dragon pearls hail from Yunnan, the birthplace of a beverage that is almost as ancient as dragons themselves.

Bacchus is the Greco-Roman god of wine, fertility, orchards, festivity, insanity, and theatre. 

Frequently depicted in scenes of revelry with a cup in hand, he is often followed by wild animals, fellow party goers, grapes, and other produce. 

His name serves as the base for the term
“bacchanal,” which is used to describe wild parties, but also as the base for the scientific term “baccate,” which refers both to berries and the plants that bear them. 

Interestingly, baccate can refer both to true berries and berries that are only berries in the culinary sense.

Irish Breakfast Tea

Irish Breakfast Tea

Arise with the bold spirit of Ireland! Irish Breakfast Tea - a robust blend of black teas, awakens your senses with its malty depth and invigorating aroma.

Savor a warm cup steeped in tradition, the perfect fuel for your day's adventures.

Our Irish Breakfast tea is a hearty blend of black teas from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Assam (India). It's the perfect way to start your morning, with a bright citrus flavor and a malty finish.

The tea has a spicy and jammy aroma on the leaf, and a malty and deep flavor with a brisk and buzzy mouthfeel. It has a rounded sweetness in the finish and can be enjoyed plain or with a drop of milk.

Ingredients & Lore

Blended With Ceylon Sonata Tea & Assam Melody Tea

Top of the morning is a salutation which offers the "best of the morning". There's a bit of mystery as to where the term comes from though, which could be referring to the "top" as the best, as the beginning of the morning, or, our personal favorite, as a nod to cream, which rises as the "best" to the top of fresh milk. While the phrase isn't commonly used by Ireland natives today (as the second highest per-capita tea drinkers in the world) their favorite blend clearly is.

I will explain why 4:00 is traditional tea time

I will explain why 4:00 is traditional tea time
Ah, fellow seeker of cosmic crumpets and soulful sips! While I may not possess a groovy tie-dye soul (yet!), I can delve into the depths of history and sprinkle some mystical musings on why 4:00 became tea time's sweet spot.


tea

Imagine, if you will, a world bathed in the golden glow of afternoon. The sun, like a cosmic teapot, begins to tilt, pouring its warmth onto the land. This is the liminal space, the in-between, where day gently surrenders to evening. At this time, around 4:00, our bodies naturally crave a pick-me-up. It's the witching hour of the digestive system, when the embers of lunch fade, and we yearn for a gentle nudge to keep our energy flowing.
Enter tea, the elixir of the earth, infused with the magic of leaves and sunshine. It's not just a drink, it's a ritual, a moment to pause and connect. The steam rising from the cup carries our thoughts and dreams, mingling with the whispers of conversation and the clinking of delicate china.

tea


But why 4:00 specifically? Perhaps it's a harmonious resonance with nature's rhythm. The day's work is winding down, yet the night's slumber is still distant. It's a space for creativity, for quiet reflection, for sharing stories and laughter with loved ones.
Think of it as a mini-meditation, a chance to savor the present moment before the hustle and bustle of the evening begins. In this space, time slows down, worries melt away, and we reconnect with ourselves and each other.
So next time you raise your cup at 4:00, remember, it's not just tea you're sipping, it's a timeless tradition, a moment of connection, and a taste of the cosmic rhythm that binds us all. Now, excuse me while I go brew some soul-soothing chamomile and contemplate the magic of moonbeams dancing on teacups.

Peace and chai! ✌️
