I’m surprised it wasn’t in my cupboard, I bought it last summer during Anniversary sale. I’m sure I got lots of unaccounted teas. Time to do inventory, my cupboard is exploding( nothing new). Today I decided to compare it with thepuritea Red Dragon Pearls( got few samples just before they went out of business). I always feel sad when small business companies close down.
Well, I had total of 5 steeps 1,2,3,4 and 5 min apart side by side. It’s cocoa, bready,sweet with some slight peppery notes at the end. The Teavivre was more flavorful and potent. By 3rd steep thePuritea exhausted itself and was watery.
I’m sure if I wouldn’t compare them and had only thepuritea on hand, I would like it a lot. But Teavivre is a winner

Totally sympathise. I was honest with myself recently and added most of the remainder of my teas and kind of shocked myself at the reality of how many teas I actually have.
I have 3-4 oz an average of each tea. This is scary. Today when everybody were excited about Teavana sale I almost placed an order, then stopped. Do I need more just because it’s on sale? I was never into teavana’s tea. I think I won my small battle today.
this is too funny…i just took advantage of Teavana’s heavenly sale yesterday! i’m quite pleased bc i got some nice flavors at 75% off…damn! anyway, have u tried their Black Dragon Pearls?? for a straight black, i think it’s exquisite. has honey notes & rich cocoa undertones…no flavoring added. i am floored. is ‘chocolatey’ a characteristic of all black pearls? or just the one i found at Teavana?
A lot of my teas are less than 2 oz thank goodness, but I have upwards of 7 oz of some of the teas I got on aliexpress, and I have a number of others over 3 oz. I almost got sucked into Teavana too but convinced myself not to, though I did get a couple tins. I should really try their teas sometimes away from their store samples. To be honest their samples scare me away from their teas because I usually find them nauseously sweet.
