The Organic Tea Tasting Team

In case you wanted to know who it was that served you tea in the store, it might have been one of our pro teamakers.

Tea Servers Nando, Angelina and Michelle are often present in stores around California (and sometimes other states) offering samples of fresh whole tea leaves, brewed hot and also iced.
Dave, Judah, Hong, Tamara and others sometimes assist, but this is the core team that makes it happen.

If you want to request a tea tasting, demonstration or ceremony, or if you want to learn to serve tea with our team, please feel free to contact us.

Purity Test Results Are In

Once again, we're posting our certified lab tests for anyone to see.

We do a full tox screen, including very careful tests that can detect traces of chemicals left by pesticides, ferilizer, moldicides, and fungicides.

If grown properly, tea shouldn't have any of those chemical or be tainted with diesel fumes, either. :)

Our 2008 Tea and Health Studies Article

Green Tea Health Benefits - Significant 2008 Studies
New Evidence: Green Tea, Antioxidants and Caffeine

This is from a press release about an article we produced based on our research this year. Our lab studies at Brunswick and Anresco Labs revealed some interesting things about caffeine, antioxidant potency and purity of commercial teas.

High-potency organic teas tested higher in caffeine than coffee,
the exception being oolong tea, the lowest in caffeine-- equal
to the caffeine in an average cup of coffee.

We also summarize some related research from earlier this year to provide a more complete picture. Read the full article on our main site.

Tea Interview with the Travel Channel

Last weekend's WorldFest08 celebration in Santa Barbara started slow, but ended strong with a full parking lot and an amazing assortment of talent and cuisine from around the world.

Specialty food included Hawaiian Teriyaki chicken and Kalhua pork, Ethiopian specialty foods, Mexican roasted chicken tacos, Chinese traditionals and other handmade treats.

Entertainment included Flamenco, Hawaiian and Belly dancers and lots of singing and bands, climaxing with the big brass sound of the Anthony Prieto band.

Dragon Pearl Tea made a presence with our 5-headed dragon tray, carved from a single piece of wood, and Tea Master Hong serving fresh green, white and oolong tea.

Here Samantha from the Travel Channel interviews co-founder Judah. He explains the different colors of tea.

Dragon Pearl TV Ads

We get a lot of comments about our ads. We like to do "travelog"-style ads that give viewers information about tea they didn't have before.

Here's an example of a 30-second "infomercial" currently running in the LA area to promote our tea for the 150 stores or so that carry Dragon Pearl Tea. We're running on some the most popular shows and stations, like Travel Channel, Food Network, SciFi, USA, History Channel, Discovery, A&E, and CNN.

This ad explains that white, green, oolong and black teas all come from the same plant.
