Dianhong Pearl Tea - Silk-Ball Black Tea

Dianhong Pearl Tea (滇红珠茶), also known as Silk-Ball Black Tea, is a premium form of Yunnan Dianhong (Yunnan black tea). The name "pearl" or "silk-ball" refers to the tea's unique shape - each serving is hand-rolled into a tight ball that resembles a pearl or silk cocoon. This labor-intensive process creates tea with exceptional quality and visual appeal.

Entirely Hand-Rolled - Artisanal Craftsmanship

Crafted entirely by hand with each pearl individually rolled by skilled tea artisans. The hand-rolling process is extremely labor-intensive, requiring expertise and patience. Each silk-ball is carefully shaped to ensure tight rolling and beautiful appearance. This artisanal craftsmanship results in limited production and premium quality.

2025 Fresh Production

This tea represents 2025 fresh production, combining traditional Yunnan black tea craftsmanship with the vitality of newly made tea.

Tightly Rolled "Silk-Ball" Shape - Functional Beauty

The tightly rolled "silk-ball" shape is both visually charming and functional. The tight rolling preserves the tea's freshness and aroma by protecting the leaves. The beautiful pearl shape creates an elegant presentation. When brewed, the silk-ball slowly unfurls to reveal full, golden-tipped buds - a mesmerizing visual experience.

Golden-Tipped Buds - Premium Material

Made from golden-tipped buds, the most tender and premium material. When the silk-ball unfurls during brewing, it reveals full buds with abundant golden tips, demonstrating quality material and careful selection.
