Easy-brewing black tea pearls with hints of plum and caramel.
These attractively gold-flecked, marble-sized black tea pearls have been hand-rolled from high-grade Yunnan Gold leaf tea into perfectly compressed spheres. They make a deliciously smooth, medium-bodied brew. Each pearl weighs around one gram, so use just two or three in a small teapot. Made in Fen Qing, in Yunnan, they are ideal at work or on holiday.
Use 1-2 pearls per cup (200ml), water temperature 95°C; infuse 2-3 mins.
