I immediately picked up on the aroma of chocolate when preparing this tea. I opted to brew it at 190 degrees for 5 minutes as I’ve had issues with prior brews of this tea coming out too bitter for my liking.
Steeping at 190 for 5 minutes gave me no bitter aftertaste. Upon drinking the flavor came across like cocoa powder, which I was not a fan of, so I added a bit of sweetener and milk and that seemed to help.
Overall, I was not impressed by this tea so I won’t be purchasing it again. In the meantime I’ve been combining this with two different mint teas I have on-hand that I’m, also, not a fan of. Combining the flavors and adding a bit of sugar and milk makes a decent chocolate mint dessert-like tea.
If viewing this tea, solely, as part of a combination of teas (like my chocolate mint) I would rate this tea closer to 50.
Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa
