A deeply layered Taiwanese dark roasted oolong with notes of sticky rice, orchid and soft charcoal warmth. Complex yet balanced, Black Pearl unfolds gradually across multiple infusions, revealing something new with each steep. Smooth, mineral-rich and quietly floral, it is a contemplative tea for slower rituals and attentive brewing.
Part of August Uncommon Tea's Rare Leaves collection, Black Pearl is a single-estate oolong from Taitung, Taiwan, grown at 400 meters. Rare Leaves teas are produced in limited quantities and packed in precision-crafted airtight tins that keep the tea fresh.
