In the past, I’ve been underwhelmed with dragon pearl teas, largely because I’m chintzy and don’t use enough to make an impact. Today, I went whole hog (whole dragon?) and invested half a dozen pearls from Michelle in a 12-ish ounce Winnie the Pooh mug. Winnie would’ve approved. It’s dark, a little cocoa-ey, and definitely has a lip-smacking honey finish. Perhaps it’ll give me a little smackerel of energy to finish what needs to be done on this cold day.

Hmmm, this makes me want to break out my Old Barrel Tea bourbon brew for a nice warming cup.or maybe I should look at how many dragon balls are still rolling around the bottom of the tin. Sometimes it’s hard to drink that last cup. Glad you squeezed the honey out of the dragon!

Next time I allow myself a little indulgence, I think an Old Barrel order may be in order. I haven’t hit a klunker with them yet.

Yes, even my least favorite from them was still a pretty good tea!
