Black Dragon Pearls

If you are like me and love to entertain friends & family, this tea needs to be in your collection. Watching the pearls unroll is mesmerizing to those who have never seen it before and I never grow tired of watching the process. Once the show is over the tea itself has a simple classic Chinese flavor. It has a clean mouthful and moderate boldness. You may not fall in love with this tea's flavor, but it's worth the money to watch the show.

Flavor is very heavy on the stone fruit, simply delicious. Unfortunately very, very light on the chocolate, which is what I’m looking for. I may still buy some for the fruity taste.

Very tasty brew. This was a re-order because my 1st introduction to it mandated that I get some more. Highly recommend it to black, high caffeine lovers like me.

Great flavor, very smooth, I always have some in the house.

I like this a lot. I recently bought my second bag.

This is my second purchase of this tea. It's truly wonderful.

Quite good. Like the little pearl shapes as well. Order again.

So the tea itself is fantastic, just the right hints of chocolate and caffeine boost needed to get through the day, and watching it brew is a treat in itself as the dragon balls slowly unfurl.

I used to drink this from Teavana. But when the store closed down, I never saw it again. So glad it's back here at Tea Runners.

It's a 10* tea for me!

Not only is this one fun to brew, it is also my favorite to drink plain and simple, no sugar, no honey, no lemon. Such a nice smooth tea!

I made it too strong accidentally at first, so now I will try with less dragon balls and less steeping time. It is definitely a great tasting black tea and very full-bodied. Very slightly bitter, but not in a bad way (probably from me making it too strong lol). I do love a strong tea so this is a winner.

I'm a recent subscriber to Tea Runners that prefers black teas, and this has been my favorite black tea I've tried (from Tea Runners or elsewhere). It's very classic, with some mild sweetness. I typically do not add to my tea, and this is one that's perfect as is, in my opinion. The pearls add to the fun of brewing the tea, and make measuring easy too.

Nothing special. You can taste what you expect from black tea. It has a mild taste for black tea so you can enjoy it without any condiments.

I'm excited every time it's tea time, love the flavor. Love the flowers in my tea, makes me feel special. The whole experience is Supermellogofloupious.

Tried this and had to buy more. Subtle sweet hints, extremely tasty. Yay!

Though it comes at a premium price, it is a premium tea. The meticulous rolled leaves add to its value, not sure it effects the taste but definitely a fun conversation when offering to friends. It’s a great tasting black tea! I add a little cream & sweetener to mine. 4.5/5

Excellent. Would recommend giving it a try!
