The unique \"Dragon Pearl\" shaping technique hand-rolls the tea into small, tightly formed pearls, making it perfectly portioned for individual brewing sessions while concentrating the tea's flavor for optimal aging potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver a decade of careful aging has allowed this tea to develop remarkable depth and smoothness. The dry pearls appear dark brown with visible golden buds, unfolding gradually when brewed to release a rich, complex aroma. The liquor displays a deep ruby-red color with brilliant clarity, offering a thick, velvety texture and layered flavors of dark chocolate, aged wood, Chinese dates, and a subtle marine minerality characteristic of premium Bingdao teas. The aftertaste is exceptionally clean and sweet, with no astringency—a testament to its superior material and proper maturation.\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/8523\/4712\/files\/2012-years-bingdao-ancient-tree-dragon-pearl-ripe-pu-erh-tea.jpg?v=1761015487\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eBrewing Guide:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eTeaware:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Yixing clay teapo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Segoe UI;\"\u003et \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor porcelain gaiwan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eWater Temperature:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 100°C (212°F) boiling water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eAmount:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1 pearl (approx. 7-8g) per 150ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eRinse:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rinse twice with boiling water to awaken and open the pearls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eSteeping Time:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst infusion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Segoe UI;\"\u003e15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Segoe UI;\"\u003e20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e seconds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGradually increase by 10-15 seconds for subsequent brews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eCan be brewed 12+ times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Segoe UI;\"\u003e—pearls continue to release flavor gradually\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/8523\/4712\/files\/bingdao-ancient-tree-dragon-pearl-ripe-pu-erh-tea-2012.jpg?v=1761015486\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003eStorage Tips:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStore in a well-ventilated, odor-proof container away from light and moisture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatural room temperature storage is ideal; avoid temperature fluctuations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuitable for continued aging to further develop complexity and sweetness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo refrigeration needed—this tea improves with proper aging conditions\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/8523\/4712\/files\/13-years-ago-bingdao-ancient-tree-dragon-pearl-ripe-pu-erh-tea.jpg?v=1761015486\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"saanwustudio","offers":[{"title":"20 pcs","offer_id":50793827762456,"sku":"PT1021-003","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 pcs","offer_id":50793827795224,"sku":"PT1021-004","price":338.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/8523\/4712\/files\/2012-bingdao-ancient-tree-dragon-pearl-ripe-pu-erh-tea.jpg?v=1761013372","url":"https:\/\/saanwu.com\/it\/products\/2012-bingdao-ancient-tree-dragon-pearl-ripe-pu-erh-tea","provider":"saanwustudio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
