Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
i tried this tea after the golden monkey which was a bit mild for my tastes, i do love the black dragon pearls in the afternoon but this tea is amazing, full bodied but not heavy, a lively feel in the mouth from first sip to last. will be tasting it with some oranges & shortbread next.
i think of star fruit when i drink this for some reason

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
I LOVE black teas and was thrilled with this. I blend this with Black Dragon Pearl. I use a little of this and 2 black dragon pearls in the 32oz. tea 'pot'. Steep for 3 minutes on the nose. The result is SO VERY GOOD. I really look forward to this as a very special treat. This is my reward for hard work. EXCELLENT. Oh, and sorry, I have to disagree with another reviewer. This is a CHEAP reward. Not expensive AT ALL. Not compared with other stuff we 'reward' or '
treat' ourselves with.
Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
Great with milk or cream alone every morning to start the day. If you have a sweet tooth try adding honey or turbinado sugar too.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
Today was my first trip to Teavana. After making my purchases I ordered a cup of Assam Gold for my trip home. I asked for no sweetener but when I got out to the car I could smell a bit of honey had been added. I was slightly annoyed, until I tasted it. That was the best ride. The tea had me relaxed and happy the whole way home. I plan on going back soon and getting a few oz for home. I am not usually a fan of sweet teas, but this mixed with a bit of honey is amazing.
Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
This is one of the first teas I ever bought from Teavana. I've loved it ever since. I drink it alone with milk and sugar, or blend it with Matevana and Hazelnut Rooibos. I look forward to it every day. I learned quickly to follow recommended brewing times though. For all the teas, follow the brew times or they'll be bitter. It you want it stronger, add more tea, not more time.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
used assam to make some iced sweet tea tonight. used the 32oz perfect tea maker, and the 56ounce pitcher that teavana sells along with it. just under a half cup of sugar. end result was delightful, 1st attempt and as good or better than any sweet tea i've come across in my trips through the south. worth a try

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
I'd have to say this is the best tea I've ever had. It's strong enough, but not overwhelming. It's the kind of tea that grows in you more and more every cup.
Only down side is that it's pretty expensive
Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
A very nice tea, a bit too strong if you steep it too long... so pay attention.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
I have drank tea since before I could walk. Being British I was raised on the stuff. After buying and consuming Teavana loose tea it has ruined me for drinking the teabag tea. I have never had a black tea that didn't have a bitter aftertaste before drinking this product.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
I am a coffee addict still trying to kick the habit. I've tried the "teas for coffee drinkers" and found none of them that could be a replacement until I found this tea. It is nice and strong, with a great flavor and the red-wine finish is excellent. As someone who never liked tea, and never thought I would because I tried the bags from the grocery store, I have to say I was surprised at how easy it is to drink this tea instead of coffee.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
This tea gives you a unique, strong flavor without being bitter. It is a great tea to serve to guests or treat yourself with. Unlike some of the other strong, bitter teas the perfect balance always livens my spirits.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
A full-bodied, slightly malty blend with a great aroma and not too bitter -- delicious.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
Often, some pieces were too small for my tea ball (kind of infuser placed into the cup). If you don't like any pieces in your cup, a mesh strainer or tea bag may be necessary. This tea had a much richer and developed flavor than any tea I have had before. As this is my first loose leaf tea purchase, I was very impressed and am eager to try others.

Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
I originally bought this tea for the caffeine content. Very flavorful tea that is not bitter enough to need milk and sugar.
Comments about Teavana Assam Gold Rain Black Tea:
The gastroenterologist told me if I would drink tea instead of coffee, heartburn would disappear. I found Assam Gold Rain at Tevana. Immediately I liked it better than coffee because of all the reasons listed. It is not only delicious, it is soothing and it's great to drink with a friend. No more Nexium!
