Black Dragon Pearls is a hand-rolled black tea that turns a simple steep into a small ritual. Each pearl unfurls in hot water to release a smooth, full-bodied cup with layered flavors: cocoa and dark caramel at the core, gentle malt and honeyed sweetness in the finish, and an earthy depth that keeps it interesting without any bitterness. The pearls make brewing feel a little theatrical, and they re-brew surprisingly well, so one serving can stretch into two cups.

This tea is a favorite for morning routine or anytime you want a comforting, refined black tea. It works beautifully on its own, no additions required, yet it also pairs nicely with a touch of rock sugar or a splash of milk for those who prefer it that way. The presentation is part of the charm: each pearl is carefully rolled and presented for freshness, making Black Dragon Pearls an elegant choice for gifting or for your own tea shelf.

If you enjoy rich, smooth black teas with chocolatey and caramel notes, Black Dragon Pearls is one to try. It offers a distinctive flavor profile that appeals to both black tea enthusiasts and anyone looking to broaden their tea rotation with something artisanal and easy to brew.

Customer Reviews

Smooth, non‑bitter black tea with natural sweetness and honey/cocoa/malty notes — full‑bodied yet lighter than many breakfast blends, rebrews well, and is widely praised as a morning favorite. It’s sold as rolled “pearls” with a pretty presentation, but reviewers warn of inconsistent pearl size/strength, unclear dosing (0–6 pearls per cup depending on cup size), and recent packaging changes (larger individually wrapped pearls that some find inconvenient); use a proper infuser to avoid leaves in the cup.

Supreme Excellence

This is an excellent tea of superior quality. Rich in flavor, pleasant in aroma--a total delight to the palate. Connoisseurs of every stripe will want to try TWK's Black Dragon Pearls. Rating: 10/10

This might be my favorite tea I've tried from WK. The flavor is fantastic, lighter than expected and never bitter. I'm not someone who puts milk or sugar or anything like that in my tea, so this one is perfect. It re-brews incredibly well. I use just one pearl for my cup of tea and the amount of flavor is worth re-brewing it again and again throughout the day.

It's worth trying a sample of this tea just for the delightful experience of unwrapping the pearl, tied up with a little golden twist tie, and watching it unfurl in the water. Beautiful.

Black dragon pearl

At 1st I didn't know what to expect I've read the description[which is an understatement] and felt adventurous so I thought I'd try the sample, BIG mistake, I found out the hard way after my long anticipated delivery which was earlier than expected arrived, sent me into a near fever pitch as I frantically sifted thru my numerous selections for the sweet sought-after prize, I brewed "my precious" dragon pearl which are beautifully crafted and hand rolled for that sought-after superior flavor and was immediately taken aback by the extremely fragrant bouquet which assaults the olfactory senses beyond comprehension, then comes "THE TASTING" the 1st thing comes to mind is I haven't been LIVING until this moment rings a bell, then comes absolute complete utter
dissatisfaction in YOURSELF as you tasted the entire serving before you knew it and started kicking yourself for the small selection size. Amazing product highly recommended.

The black pearl tea is so smooth. I love black teas and this one is the best!

I wish there had been more specific instructions on the package about how many pearls or how many grams of weight to add into an 8oz cup. A teaspoon is an unreliable tool for something of this shape. So I had to guess. Seems like it’s a mostly clean and general black tea profile to me; not high on astringency or bitterness, thankfully. Some hints of malt or cocoa when I added a small amount of sugar. Not as malty as most Irish Breakfast blends, for reference. I tried 3 pearls, but I’m curious if 4 would be better or too strong.
