PREMIUM DRAGON BALL

An elegant tea that is skilfully hand rolled into a tea ball, combining the beautiful yellow chrysanthemum flower and the delightful ‘Dragon ball black tea’.

The fragrant chrysanthemum flower beautifully balances with the smooth, sweet honey flavor of the black tea.  When steeped in hot water, the tea ball unfurls into a beautiful floral display. Perfect tea for multiple infusions. Each infusion extracts slightly different flavor and fragrance.

How to prepare: 

There is no set rule for brewing tea because each tea type is different.

This is a rough guide to get you started. Experiment to find your ideal steeping time based on your personal taste.

Before preparing any type of tea always warm the teapot and teacups by rinsing it with hot water.

Put 1 tea ball in the preheated tea pot and add water at 90 C. Let it steep for 5-8 minutes.

Don’t throw out your tea leaves after your first cup of tea. The same tea leaves can be steeped up to three times. Discover the nuances of tea with every infusion.

For the subsequent infusions, experiment by increasing the steeping time by 60 seconds each time and keep the water temperature the same (90 C).
