Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
I bought this because my favorite black tea was discontinued :-( Darjeeling Makaibari. So on recommendation of the salesperson I tried this one instead. I must say it is not quite as good as my former favorite, but it is close! The first time I steeped it I went three full minutes (based on the seeming too light color). 2 minutes is probably plenty for my taste (i.e., not bitter). So, I am a happy customer ... but I would be even happier if they brought back a bit more economical darjeeling!

Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
This tea is becoming my favorite iced tea for summer when I mix it with some peppermint tea. Honestly I haven't tried it on it's own yet but I had to write a review because I absolutely had to share that it's delicious when mixed with peppermint tea.

Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
I've always liked black teas when using store bought tea bags. So when I started drinking Teavana teas I went right for the '3 leaf' strength teas like Black Dragon Pearl and English Breakfast. What I found is that though they were excellent tasting, they were a bit strong for me. I was unable to drink a glass of only those teas and had to mix them with others. But I wanted to be able to get away from all the fruity flavors sometimes and just drink black tea. So I decided to try this one, and I was hooked from the very beginning! Being a '2 leaf' strength tea, it falls right into line with how I've always thought Black Tea's should taste. Excellent by itself or with a bit of honey flavor from adding a tad of Eastern Chamomile.

Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
I steep it 3.5 minutes and add raw sugar. Probably doesn't appeal to ardent black tea fans, but if the aftertaste and bitterness of some black teas turn you off, then this is a good one to try. Between a basic white tea and a basic black tea in terms of strength.

Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
I bought this tea because I heard it was really good. However though after I tried it I noticed it had sort of a bitter taste, even if you brewed it for a short time. I was quite dissapointed because I expected more. I just really wasn't impressed. I have tasted much better tea then Himalayan Majestic.
Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
A tea so complex and multidimensional we thought it must be a blend.
A little goes a long way in a short amount of time.
Perfect with dim sum.
We drank the leftovers chilled just to see how it would taste and it was actually just as flavorful plus smoother.
Breath taking tea . . . just like the land it came from!

Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
If you are looking for a bold black tea, this is not your product. The majestic tea has a very weak flavor and coloring, and does not strengthen with over steeping. I was disappointed as i thought this black tea would provide a strong flavor.

My favorite tea has been Golden Monkey, however it's a bit rich, so this has now become my new favorite tea.

Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
I have always been very particular about how my tea tasted, hot or cold. I don’t like fruity, too nutty or any type of bitterness. I want my tea to taste like tea, not a toasted almond cinnamon apple or violet orange rainbow flower with added nutmegy caramel spice. Well here I have found it, and I absolutely love it. I drink it every morning instead of coffee, and it is just wonderful as an iced tea. If you’re looking for a smooth, great tasting, tea tea, here it is.

Comments about Teavana Himalayan Majestic Black Tea<br />:
This tea is the kind that I can drink every week and discover some new aspect of its flavor each time. It's a relatively light black tea, is slightly sweet, has a bit of a fruity undertone, and can even be equated in some ways to Earl Grey, despite the absence of bergamot. I like to drink this tea in the evening (when I would usually drink a green tea) because it has such a subtly pleasing flavor. The one oddity is the steep time--don't go more than 30 seconds or all of the above will be lost in bitterness!
