This Qianjiazhai Dragon Ball Raw Pu-erh Tea from the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan offers a smooth and balanced drinking experience with a rich yet clean character. Made from Yunnan large-leaf tea harvested in spring 2023, this raw Pu-erh is ideal for tea lovers who enjoy floral sweetness, lingering aftertaste, and the evolving complexity of aged tea. Its medium caffeine level makes it suitable for daily drinking, quiet tea sessions, and long gongfu-style brewing.

The aroma is rich and refined with notes of orchid, honey, dried fruit, and a gentle mountain freshness. The tea liquor is clear and golden with a smooth mouthfeel and layered sweetness. Each infusion reveals soft floral tones, subtle fruity notes, and a lingering huigan that stays in the mouth long after drinking. The taste is clean, mellow, sweet, and full-bodied without bitterness, creating a calming and comforting tasting experience.

Each dragon ball is carefully hand-rolled using traditional craftsmanship. The leaves are sun-dried and minimally processed to preserve the natural character of the ancient tea trees. This raw Pu-erh is made for aging, allowing the flavor and aroma to deepen over time. With repeated infusions, the tea continues to open up, showing endurance, complexity, and the living character of Sheng Pu-erh tea.

Traditional Gongfu Style

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:25–30. Brew with boiling water at 100°C (212°F). Pour a thin, steady stream of water directly onto the dragon ball. Do not cover with a lid. Once the tea ball has mostly unfurled, pour out the tea liquor—this first infusion can be consumed. For the second infusion, avoid pouring water directly onto the tea leaves. Do not let the tea steep—immediately pour out the liquor. Always pour out the tea completely after each infusion to prevent bitterness or astringency.
