Another black pearl I’m able to try from Momo’s teabox. There was only one serving left, so I took it from the box for later. Later is now! These are about half inch in diameter sized black and gold pearls. I’m sure I’ve had these before under other tea companies, but I’m willing to try all of them! I used the last six pearls.
Steep #1 // just boiled // a few minutes steep
I wasn’t sure if the dry leaves smelled exactly like chocolate or it was smelling like that because it was stored around another tea that actually had chocolate in it. At first sip, nope, it’s these chocolate pearls! The flavor is very deep dark chocolate. Like chocolate without the sugar/calories. Before taking a sip I swore there was a wisp of a fragrance of cherry and the first couple sips were actually slightly smoky. I think six pearls are the magic number for this, or maybe even seven, though there actually are a ton of leaves in the basket.
Steep #2 // just boiled // few minutes steep
This cup was much less deep chocolate and even less cherry but turned into a berry flavor.. can’t tell which, just not cherry. Interesting switch! I feel like I’ve had these pearls before (though I know most black pearls aren’t the same). Probably either Tealux or Teavivre. I’ve tried both of those only once, so I can’t be sure. If these Teavana are the same as those two, I imagine the prices of the other two are WAY cheaper for the same thing. In any case, this happens to be about one in three Teavana blends I actually like. These would be a cupboard staple… from Teavivre of Tealux though.

I wanted to buy some of these to try when I went to a Teavana store in Chicago a few weekends ago. Totally annoyed that the smallest amount they sell is 3 ounces! I’m sure they wont be exactly the same but I did order a sample of some black pearls from Teavivre finally.
