First tasting for me of this tea.

Very nice, smooth with distinct sweet, chocolate taste.

The flavors appeared more distinct in the second and third steeps as I raised the temperature of the water and allowed a longer steep time.

Another quality black tea from Teavivre.

Easy to clean and screen works really well even with fine tea. Can’t imagine a better way to steep and enjoy a cup a tea at work. Fantastic device.

Easy to use and while temperatures are not perfectly accurate its darn close.

Found mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond and the always available 20% off coupon was a nice discount.

The second jewel of my Teavivre Black Tea Triple Crown. While the cocoa is not as pronounced as in Black Pearl it is present and provides a soothing, smooth cup with a softer touch. Very nice tea and is one of my go to teas.

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 2 min, 45 sec 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

The first crown of my Triple Crown of black tea. Smooth and full of flavor it is a cup that I can enjoy at any time of the day. It is simply a wonderful black tea.

With my 16 ounce infuser and 6-8 balls (dependent upon size), I start at 185F/85C for 2:45 and increase the temperature for progressive steeps and find very nice cups through 3 steeps with the third being at 200F/93C.

Flavors: Cocoa
