Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I've gotten hooked on this flavor. I had thought it would be stronger. I use 4 pearls for a cup, but I can get a lot of steeps out of it. The pearls also come apart into small tea leaves so use a strainer.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Black Dragon Pearl is one of my favorite teas. I brew 4 pearls per 16 ounce cup. I can get three infusions each time. My first cup I use sugar and soy milk. The second two I drink straight. It is smooth, full bodied and malty. I can't overstate the smoothness. It really doesn't need sugar or milk. It's the only black tea my eight year old will drink without sugar. I just ordered my second batch and will order Black Dragon Pearl anytime I get remotely near out of pearls. It's well worth the [$]

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I am a black tea snob, and while the Golden Assam is my usual daily tea. I drag this out for special occasions or when I need to spoil myself. It is simply the strongest, maltiest most flavorful black I have had.

I like my black teas British / Indian style with milk and natural sugar, and this holds up very well. It has almost completely weened me off coffee. I make a 24oz pot and use 4 teaspoons (about 3-4 pearls per teaspoon) and usually get a pretty good second steep as well if I add an extra minute to my time.

The only downside is the price...but hey quality costs.

This tea is great on its own or can be combined with a number of other teas - eg: sweet cranberry black tea - this is my all time favorite!

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I bought this tea because I was told it was one of the strongest black teas I could get at a Teavana store. I used 6-7 pearls and steeped it for over 5 minutes thinking that would make it strong enough for milk (because I seriously love milk and black tea together). Not quite. The liquor is very light and the milk overwhelms the tea. It certainly wasn't anywhere near malty enough for me. I will not be steeping the leaves more than once as the flavor will only get weaker.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I have been really enjoying the flavored teas, but wanted a basic, unflavored tea. I made the perfect choice with this one. I was able to get 4 steeps in my 16 oz. rhapsody tumbler from 5 pearls without sacrificing any flavor. I can tell this will be a long lasting favorite. I started with 2 oz., but I should have bought more. Oh well, another excuse to go back to Teavana!

i drink this tea everday its the best on the site to me.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I saw one concern review about hair/fiber like substance in this tea. Driking tea all my life, I happen to know this is a good thing, it indicates the highest quality. It means this tea consists of large amount of tender tea buds which is the reason why this tea tastes smoother than a normal black tea. This hair like fiber in tea is called "downy hair" or "white down/hair (白毫)" in tea terminology. They are harmless. The youngest tea buds are normally covered in silvery downy hair after they are made into white/green/a light black tea while golden downy hair for a stronger black tea, such as with Black Dragon Pearl. You will expect any black tea with golden downy hair to be a very robust cup of morning tea or a great pick-me-up cup in the afternoon when you feel a bit sluggish. Silver Needle white tea has the most downy hair because this tea consists of only tea buds, and the tea buds are only picked 2 days out of an entire year (rareset tea in the world), and they are the first mature tea buds right before they open into leaf. Time: in early spring. It takes about 60000 tea buds to make 1lb of dried Silver Needle tea. Tea bud must be hand picked to prevent broken....For more terminology on tea, you can check out this link: [@]

This is a rich, dark, robust tea that is simply delicious!

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I drink this tea everyday. You simply cannot ruin a cup of this tea. Now that I have discovered Teavana (about a year ago), I will never go back to regular teabags again.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

This tea is one of the smoothest teas I've tasted. It's very good and would make a great tea to go with dessert or by itself for a special treat. It's pricey, so I won't drink it everyday. But I'll wish I could.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Simply Delicious. Just the whiff of the dry tea and you know this stuff is GOOD. Unique flavor profile and addictively flavorful. the only tea I have actual cravings for.

Keeps its flavor for multiple brewings worth the price. . . It will not disappoint. . . my favorite tea ever.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I just love this tea!
I brew this tea about 2 min. (boiling water)
I use about 1 1/2 tsp for 8-10 oz.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I would highly suggest this tea as it is nice and sweet and it really has that unique flavor I think most of us like.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

This is absolutely the smoothest black tea I have tried. It has a rich, smooth flavor, and no bitter after taste. Many black teas have a bitter bite to them, so tea drinkers smooth it over with a touch of milk. This tea requires nothing. If you don't like the bite of black tea, this tea is a great choice.

It bursts with flavor, but presents it in a subtle tone so that it is not over powering. A teaspoon of honey and this becomes the perfect drink. It is my favorite 'anytime tea'. In fact, I am drinking it now.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

good tea i purchased it for myself and have drunk it all very good if u enjoy good quality black tea that is not to strong tasting this is the tea for you has malty nutty some chocolate undertones.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

My first time in a Teavana this was suggested to me from all the staff. It's a perfect choice for anyone who loves black tea- 3 "tea balls" per 8oz water and if you forget and steep too long- it never tastes too strong! Wonderful afternoon pick me up!

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I purchased this tea due to the managers recommendation and it was the best tea choice of my life! This tea may be a lot for a low budget customer but let me tell you it is really worth it. I have tried many teas but the ultra smooth strong soul empowering taste you get with Black Dragon Pearls is irreplaceable.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Black Pearl is an excellent sun tea. In the mornings I drop 4 tsp in 2 qt of H2O in a glass container. I let it set out in the Phoenix sun for 6-8 hours. I strain and pour over ice for a smooth, refreshing treat.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I really liked the tea, though 1-2 pearls can brew a rather strong cup of tea. I was really concerned when I noticed hairs or hair-like fibers sticking out of the hand rolled balls. This was a real point of concern for me. The Teavana manager couldn't explain the hairs/fibers but allowed me to get another tea instead (equal in value to what was remaining of the black pearls). Not sure if I'll try it again or not solely due to the fibers/hairs.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

This is my favorite black tea. Goes great with scones. Tastes like Barley Malt that brewers use, very good.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Perfect for anyone who wants a malty flavored tea. It is rich with chocolate tones, and is not bitter at all. I am a black tea enthusiast, and this is one of my very favorite teas.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

This tea has a deep chocolatey aroma, and deep malty flavor.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I am picky about my tea and was very hesitant to try this. I am glad I did! It is very nice and has great flavor. My new favorite tea.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I love this tea. I find it best with only 3 balls per 8 oz. I also mix it with the strawberry pu-erh or the sweet cranberry black. It is good hot or cold on its own or with a friend. Its my new favorite!

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Great tea. Has tons of flavor, yet is almost impossible to oversteep and/or make bitter

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

The first time I bought this tea I didn't realize I could use it for multiple pots; six tea "balls" for each 8oz cup, I use about 15-20 depending on how strong a pot I want...brew it Saturday morning and use it again on Sunday. It's a little expensive so I drink other tea during the week.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Does not get bitter if brewed too long. No added flavors to get in the way of the tea.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Right now this is my absolute favorite tea. I find it rich without being at all harsh. I love the chocolate aromas and flavors in this tea. Also, you can steep this over and over and get great flavor each time.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Loved this tea! My new favorite! Smooth, I sence notes of honey. I enjoy the "pearl" shape of it. A must try!

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Wow, this is rich, and robust. The best and most flavor-full black tea I have tasted. It is almost malty, I like to drink mine in the morning with some vanilla soy milk mixed in. May not recomend this to a new tea drinker, but I love it!

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

This teas has more tasted than any teas bags I've been used in years before I knew Teavana. Thank you.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

this tea is very different. i've tried many imported teas that can range from being bitter and tart to some that are naturally sweet and smooth. it has some sort of bark flavoring that i can recall tasting and liking very much. all in all, this tea is very smooth and calming. not too strong. it doesnt bother my tastebuds at all. hence the calming factor. and the aroma isnt too fierce. yet, the flavor is very full of body... i would recomend this to anyone interested in foreign teas.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

Absolutely Ideal flavor it has a better quality than golden monkey.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

This is just what you would think that a Black tea should taste deep, strong and refreshing. Would go well with pancakes or a big deli sandwich.

Comments about Teavana Black Dragon Pearl Black Tea:

I personally like it steeped for more towards 4 minutes. This tea is delicious. I first tried it in the Emperor's Tea Set, and I fell in love. I was told that it was limited edition and wouldn't be back, but guess what? It is! I'm so excited! This tea is totally worth the money! Enjoy!
