[EN] Brewed gongfu style, a mild and surprisingly sweet white tea with definite honey overtones which become milder and more fruit blossom-like after around the fourth infusion. A high quality white tea and a must try for anyone who likes honey flavours.
[EN] My first large pearl brewing experience. I do a lot of Gong Fu brewing but pearls (especially this large) take time to open. I highly recommend a rinse. And a step of at least a minute. Keep in mind being cooler at around 175-180 will bring it a more floral tone bring higher at 190-95 will make it taste more woody. It does have a nice clear liquid and is smooth. It's aged and smells like mao feng. (A green tea blend I love)

[EN] lovely, mild tea, each ball lasts for a long time.
Different to brew due to the large size of the Pearls.
I used 1 in a glass and brew grandpa style, rinse for 10 seconds first. Then I would use cooler water ~60C and brew for: 2+ minutes, and this lasted many steeps through the whole day. Also very tasty Cold-brewed

[EN] Very good tea, but the product description on the website is not accurate to what you get. It shows 1 ball per 8 oz cup (which, by the way Tealyra, is 240 ml, not 200 ml), and I wondered how many balls/cups I would get in a 50g order for that price. That info is not provided anywhere on the webpage. What I received was 7 balls, and on the package it says to use 1 ball per 16 oz of water. The balls received were quite large. So it looks like I'll be brewing pots instead of cups, and that I'll end up getting 3-1/2 pots/14 cups for the price paid. No matter how good the tea is, that's a bit out of my budget for daily/regular consumption. So don't think I'll be reordering this one.
