The Connoisseur’s Oolong.
Black Pearl is a charcoal-roasted Taiwanese oolong from a single estate in Taitung — one of the most celebrated tea-growing regions in the world. Grown at 400 meters, its mature leaves carry a depth and complexity that younger teas simply can’t match: sticky rice warmth, delicate orchid florals, and a smooth, toasty finish that evolves with every infusion.
This is the tea that rewards patience. Brew it up to four times and watch the tightly balled leaves slowly unfurl, releasing a slightly different flavor profile with each cup. It’s a ritual as much as a drink.

Why Multiple Infusions?
Balled oolongs like Black Pearl are prized among connoisseurs precisely because they’re made from the mature leaves of the tea shrub — larger, more complex, and built for multiple brews. With each infusion, the leaves unfurl further and release subtly different flavors. Don’t stop at one cup.
