From the same producer of our loose-leaf Shu Cha are these hand-pressed dragonballs. Using raw material handpicked for pu'er, it's processed similarly to a mao cha, the sun-drying technique used to finish processing results in a tea with tender sweetness. Notes of orange peel and molasses, these dragonballs are ready to brew as is. To benefit from its good aging potentials, store some and allow them to develop deeper fruitiness and earthy qualities with some time. 

Pressed teas are generally a third of the volume of teas in its loose leaf form. These pressed teas are exactly one serving (6g) and they are easily stored for traveling and storage. Each produces roughly 4 cups of tea or 10+ infusions brewing gongfu cha. Bring a few on the hiking trail or as gifts! 

 

1.5 oz | 6 dragonballs

 

Brewing Tips:

1 mini tea cake /100 ml using 98 Celsius water (near boiling). Start with 10 second infusions

here for the grounding energy

Not as sweet as other Yunnan teas in the Teaphile collection, but this tea has a strong cha qi. Sun dry red just has this depth that elevates my afternoon tea time. Very convenient, I take these with me when I am traveling.

Strong cha qi for sure!

Invoking the red dragon

I am a huge fan of red tea. Therefore, I was eager to discover how these dragonballs would offer to me.
I decided to try mostly for the convenience of having a tea I could prepare easily on my workspace.
It was not disappointing at all, I really enjoyed this tea, it has more flavor and aroma than other Dian Hongs, and at a more affordable price.
I would say that it's not Teaphile's best red, that tile is for Red Phoenix, but it's really enjoyable and practical.
