Why is Dragon Pearl Tea So STRONG?

It's true: our teas are much more potent than people expect, especially experienced loose-leaf tea drinkers. This is probably why the best feedback we get is from tea experts and connoisseurs (and why we recently received Master's of Taste and Sofi awards).

I think there are two main reasons for the full flavor and extreme potency power in Dragon Pearl tea. First, this tea is mountain-grown in ideal conditions that promote optimum photosynthesis and glycolysis. The result is maximized flavor and concentrated antioxidant properties.

The second reason is that this whole-leaf tea is as fresh as possible, packed in double-airtight containers right at the farms.

In testing our teas, we found ours to be highest in theine (the caffeine-like substance in tea) as well as in anti-oxidant levels. Our green tea is the highest in "caffeine"--even higher than the black tea.

All this really comes down to one thing to remember when using our tea: use less. In most cases, about half as much of our tea will brew a cup as full-flavored as you're used to.

(If you want less caffeine, pre-steep for two minutes, and you'll get about 50% of the caffeine out.)

Organic Green Tea at the Celebrity Food Show

Dragon Pearl Tea served up another thousand samples of our organic green tea at the 2009 Celebrity Food Show in Anaheim with Guy Fieri. We also served organic, mountain grown white and oolong tea... and they were a big hit!

Most of our shows are industry trade shows that are attended by distributors and store buyers. This was our first direct-to-consumer show, and it was just like serving tea at demos-- a crowd constantly surrounded our little display and word got out about our amazing iced jasmine pearl green tea.

Here are some highlights from this fun show...

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...
