19 Tasting Notes
I have not made this tea at home, but when I visit my local Teavana store I have them prepare me this tea iced with a pear flavour shot in it. Very refreshing. I like grassy flavoured teas so eventually I may purchase this myself…though it is a bit pricey at $17 per 50g!
Preparation
Teavana was sold out of the black dragon pearls so I ended up getting Golden Monkey instead. I don’t really taste the difference between the two, maybe Golden Monkey is a little smoother but they are very similar. This is one of my go-to teas in the morning with a little bit of sugar added to it.
The taste profile of this tea is very similar to coffee, making this the perfect to tea drink when your trying to cut down or eliminate your coffee intake. I found the nutty flavour stood out the most with a hint of chocolate and cinnamon. I enjoy this tea without the sugar and cream associated with coffee, which makes this a much healthier choice.
