In keeping with the theme of unflavored teas, today's tea is Teavana's Black Dragon Pearl (http://www.teavana.com/the-teas/black-teas/p/black-dragon-pearls-black-tea). It's a lovely, textured black tea, with a malty undertone. The tea is presented in little rolled "pearls" of about 30 leaves. It takes about 3 of the little pearls to make a medium brew for a 16-oz cup. Using more or fewer pearls will make a stronger or weaker cup with a slightly different flavor profile.
This is also a tea that can be re-used after the first brewing. I've used the same leaves up to three times without negatively impacting the flavor of the tea. It is slightly different on each brewing, but tasty nevertheless. The first brewing is maltier, the later brewings are more simple.
The website claims it has chocolate tones, but I don't taste them.
