Earl Grey:
Earl Grey teacup dragons are known as the
choice for many upper-class bakers and sum-
moners, and the dragons know it. The sophis-
ticated taste of the tea they produce has been
praised by lovers of milk in tea and by Earl
Grey teacup dragons themselves.
Earl Greys are known to be one of the chat-
tier brews of teacup dragon, very often using
their telepathy to engage in drawn-out con-
versations with whoever will listen. Due to
the limited nature of their telepathic abilities,
these talks tend not to be terribly complex,
but they sure are long.
Tea brewed by an Earl Grey teacup drag-
on is strong. There’s a citrusy, floral aftertaste
that blends perfectly with the malty, full-bod-
ied base flavor profile. Some find their taste
too overpowering on its own but perfect with
milk. Earl Grey dragons tend to find the taste
of their tea perfect, no matter how it’s con-
sumed, to no one’s surprise
Some might find Earl Greys too
posh for their liking, but those that
are charmed by their proud per-
sonalities will find in Earl Greys
a loyal friend, the perfect confi-
dant, and an amazing advisor.

certainly enjoy being praised.
Matchas are usually seen as familiars to
people that care about tradition and hold
their time of leisure in high regard. They
are also priced in restaurants and tea houses,
since Matcha tea is generally quite expensive,
and this dragon’s ability to produce it endless-
ly could be very lucrative in great numbers.
Tea houses that attempt this quickly find out
that Matchas are very much not a farm animal
and will not produce tea for people that force
them to do work they don’t wish to do.

things, and the ones sharing a close bond with
