drank Fengqing Dragon Pearl Black Tea by Teavivre
9 tasting notes

Well, I’m only using one pearl/ball, because I don’t have many in this sample, and didn’t want to waste any. So far, it’s got a woodsy aroma. It’s a familiar scent, subtle yet present.

Taste…crap. I mean, crap, I should have used two balls here. I can vaguely detect some of the chocolate that others have mentioned, but I just didn’t give it enough oomph here. As I sip through to the bottom of the cup, it is a naturally sweet tea, and not too bad. Next time, for my 6 oz. cup, I’m going with the standard 2 ball steep.

I usually put several balls (i.e.>2) since they are so tiny. It does have a strong taste: some people love it, some not so much.

I was introduced to the wide world of tea by a dear friend this past weekend, and am now…hooked. Just bought my first infuser today!

I’m a university administrator/faculty member…and I don’t like meetings.

90-100: Love it – will buy more!

75-90: I’ll drink what I have, may get more when I run out.

50-74: I’ll finish it, but probably won’t buy it.

0-49: Might finish it, might water the plants.
