Dragon Balls

12,00
Is a young raw pu-erh (sheng pu’er) made from early spring leaves harvested in Bingdao Nanpo, one of the most respected areas in Yunnan.

The tea comes from arbor (old tea trees) and uses pure, single-origin material. Pressed into small 8 g Dragon Balls, it’s easy to dose and convenient to brew while allowing the leaves to open slowly and evenly.

In the cup, this sheng pu’er is fresh, clean, and expressive, with notes of herbs, wildflowers, green fruit, and a gentle honeyed sweetness. A light bitterness quickly turns into a cooling, lingering aftertaste. It’s enjoyable now and also has good potential to develop with age.
