Dragon Pearl Tea Warehouse Tour


Take a 90-second tour of the Dragon Pearl Tea Warehouse in California. We import our tea fresh from the farms, where it's packed in our double airtight containers to the Port of Long Beach. We then store it in the warehouse, where cool temperatures help keep it fresher longer.

It's that season again: Dragon Pearl Tea is serving up hot tea in the morning and delicious iced tea in the afternoon at the Dinosaur Caves in Pismo Beach for Art in the Park.

Dinosaur Caves Park is on the border of Shell Beach and Pismo Beach, named after the giant cement dinosaur that used to stand there in the 50s, and the awesome caves along the walls of the coastline.

Here's a view from the beach below...

Earth Day:

Celebrating Organic Farming Progress

http://dragonpearltea.com/images/farm33.jpg

On this day we celebrate the greatness of life on earth! As humans here, we have no bigger concern than keeping the air, soil and water clean… for us, for our children and for generations to come.

Of particular importance are the grains, fruits and vegetables that sustain us, and the freedom we have to pick the foods we put in our bodies.

Some of our produce is grown on large farms, and some on small family farms. But the method of farming is important to consider when it comes to our health and the health of the earth. That’s why Dragon Pearl Tea is produced on machine-free, organic mountain farms.

Our tea is hand-picked in an ancient traditional method and all-natural fertilizers are carefully added to the soil in such a way as to not pollute the pure mountain streams that are the source of water here.

Dragon Pearl Tea is concerned about the new farm bills HR 875 and S 425. We need to protect our right produce sustainable, non-toxic farming! We hope you’ll do your own research on these bills, and then let your senator and representative in the House know what you think of them.

And this earth day, let’s think about the purity of our environment, the freedom to choose organic, and the sustainability of our future.
