These lovely pearls are made from white peony leaves that are hand-shaped. Each pearl is of the larger variety, weighing on average 3.5 to 4 grams. Once steeped, the cup reveals classic white peony notes of melon and cucumber, a little mineral flintiness and just a hint of honey. Perfect for on-the-road brewing and multiple steepings.
Steep at 180° for 3-5 minutes.

Gongfu!
Sipped on these white tea “pearls” a few days ago while playing Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee! I skipped it when it first came out (the game, not the tea) so I decided that I’d finally give it a fair shake – and I’m enjoying it a lot!
In regard to the tea, to call this a pearl styled tea is definitely a bit of a misnomer; they’re definitely much more like a loosely rolled dragonball. I only used one for the session (in my 70ml gaiwan). This is a good tea to brew while I play though; the notes of straw and cream are a bit more flat/one dimensional but the tea handles my non-attentive & distracted brewing style very well. Long steep times aren’t a problem, and while the flavour isn’t exciting it’s not unpleasant either.

Trying to find this tea in the steepster database and I found they have a 4 to 5gram green tea version!
