Teavana Black Dragon Pearls

DrDubzz · 11-24-2010, 06:25 PM

Never done a tea review before, but I'll give it a shot.

These come in marble sized "pearls", black tea (as the black in the name indicates), the "tin aroma" is well, tea-like. But it also has a noticeable "malty" odor as well (like a whopper ball).

Anyway, I'm not too anal about water temperature, so I boil, wait a sec, and then pour and steep for about 3 minutes.

It's good to drink straight, but enhanced with a little milk and sugar.

The flavor keeps that malty taste after brewed, it's very bold and flavorful, probably my favorite black tea. And black teas are my favorite.

it's a tad pricey, but worth it IMO (although I don't drink it every day)

Thanks for the review, Tim! I must admit I haven't tried anything from Teavana, but it's good to know about this one. I drink mostly puerh, oolongs, & a few greens... I will have to branch out & try a few black teas now. One of the members over at badgerandblade.com has recommended specialteas.com for their Assams in the past, so I might start there.

From your description, it sounds like a Yunnan tea. They typically have a malty taste. Reminds me of Ovaltine. It's a nice change of pace. As with all my teas, I prefer without milk or sugar.

I personally really enjoy oolong tea which i think isn't for everyone it's definitely more of an acquired taste, and i guess the same could be said about black tea, but i feel you really need to try a good one the first time around in order to really experience it, i suggest you check out: http://www.republicoftea.com/black-tea/c/3/pgsize/96/ they offer many tea varieties.

If you are afraid that teachers will find out that you order written work, look for services that guarantee anonymity, for example I am the real DB Cooper. Clients of this service can always be sure that their identity will be hidden. Well, unless you piss off wikileaks.

I like Teavana Black Dragon Pearls tea because I'm using it since 2011. During my research, I didn't find better tea than it. As a part-time spamming toelicker business, I use to drink it.

Any relation to Ghengis or Chaka?
