Tealyra - Black Dragon Pearls - Yunnan Special Black Tea - Loose Leaf Tea - Premium Tea - Bold Caffeine - 220g (8-ounce)

Nice flavor. Using two ball, I get three steeps at about the perfect strength.

A very good "pearl" style black tea with smooth, non tannic flavor, even with prolonged steeping, and a subtle cocoa scent and after taste . Good for multiple steepings. I can usually get at least 3 large (16 oz) cups of tea from 4-5 of the tea balls. Decent price, give it a try!

If you put milk or sugar into your tea, this isn't what you want. This is a tea meant to stand up on its own, so its much less astringent and strong than a typical assam or breakfast tea. It's not quite as subtle as the crazy expensive stuff full of golden tips, so it strikes a good balance between depth of flavor, smoothness, and not being too light.Package came with an acceptable amount of broken balls, just a few, probably enough for 1-2 cups had fallen apart. But these balls are also not too tightly rolled, so they come apart and actually brew well (some pressed teas are just too tight and don't brew properly)I found the 2-3 minute brew time to be appropriate. 2 minutes wasn't enough, but 3 was perfect. I also found 1 ball per 100mL of water to be the sweet spot (my tea pot holds 800mL, so 8 balls)Because this tea is so subtle, it does require a little more of it than others might. So if value for money is critical, look into the assam by perfect tea (also a good tea if you like milk and sugar), but if you want a nice afternoon drink with just enough indulgence that doesn't break the bank, this stuff is solid. I finished the 4oz package in about a month, (pretty typical for me) and have re-ordered the 8oz. This is probably going to become a pantry staple.

This is a good quality tea with a smokey flavor and medium red color. This is not my everyday tea, my regular is the Tie Kuan Oolong, but it is nice for when I'm wanting a more distinct and robust flavor. You only need 3-5 pearls per pot depending on how big your pot is and it up well to 2-3 rounds of steeping. Don't over extract the first round as it can get bitter if you wait too long. It is entertaining if you have a clear pot to watch the pearls unroll into full size leaves, a clear pot also helps you pour when the color has reached your taste preference.

This tea is good hot or cold. I like to watch it expand when you put it in hot water

Cute little balls for easy dispensing. The flavor is worth the money

I usually drink a strong Kona coffee brew each morning. Kona coffee has a very mild buttery flavor but the effects of this caffeinated brew lasts less than an hour. Black Dragon Pearl tea has a mild dark chocolate tone and light tea scent but packs a nice boost of alertness that lingers for three or more hours. I'm on prescribed medication to combat fatigue, memory issues and concentration loss that doesn't seem to be working. However, Black Dragon Pearl is seriously doing wonders with perking me up and for hours and elevating my concentration and memory. What a pleasant surprise!Black Dragon Pearls are about as expensive as Kona coffee. The first brew comes off more smoky if you steep it longer than 3 minutes. When this happens, I cut the brew with a little more water to smooth it into a more dark chocolate flavor. It takes a little practice to get that right balance of dark chocolate flavor. I like to use 2 pearls per cup in a Chinese infuser cup and 2-3 washes. I usually settle for just 2 washes because the effects of the tea are long lasting.

Great black tea. If you are a tea drinker give this a shot.

Really good tea

MERCI

Great price, good quality

A good tea. I like the concept of pearls over lose tea.

Qiute decent product, while not something extraordinary
