Nice review sounds yummy hi how are you?

QueenOfTarts

Do you add milk or sweetener to this?
Does this still taste like a nice dessert tea without either?

TeaEqualsBliss

Nope…plain for me…still LOVE it!!!

QueenOfTarts

Sounds delish without milk or sugar! Thanks for replying! I am wanting to try this, but don’t want to buy a whole tin if I won’t like it. You are sure making it sound incredibly tempting, though!

Nice review. Hello how are you? This sounds pretty good is the chocolate as strong as the caramel or they the same strength?

Another one that has been on my list for a LONG TIME and I am NOT disappointed! This is FAB! The Caramel is TOP NOTCH! Incredibly sweet and smooth – sugary! The Vanilla is slight but also helps with the creaminess. The Chocolate is nummy! This is REALLY REALLY GOOD and I am so tempted to give it a higher score but I will go with this one right now…nomnomnom

Sil

you are inspiring me to try this company out sometime when i’m able to get the funds..

TeaEqualsBliss

They are a great company! I chat with one of the owners often. They’ve been featured on Oprah’s Fave Things and that show Shark Tank! They have some neat flavorings!

CHAroma

Whoa! They were funded through Shark Tank??

TeaEqualsBliss

They were a successful company on their own prior but they were on the show last season, I think. Their promotional and media kits are pretty awesome, too!

CHAroma

Now I’m intrigued…I’ll have to check them out!

LiberTEAS

They’ve recently been bought out, though, I think. That’s what I’ve heard anyway.

TeaEqualsBliss

They are still the co-founders. Shane & Steve. They sold to Jamba Juice, I think. But they still are involved.

CHAroma

What a nice success story! Love it!

Sil

Awesome. I’ll need to take some time to plan purchase for when i have funds again.

SIPDOWN #1 of the day…sigh…this one will be missed!

The chocolate is wonderful today and the juicy strawberry is flavorful yet not over the top…a wonderful assist!

Good Bye Loyal Friend…

Kristen

I just ordered this because of your wonderful reviews! I can’t wait to try it!!!

TeaEqualsBliss

I really hope you like it!!! :) Did you order anything else from Talbott!?

Kristen

I ordered the Caramel Sundae, this one and the Luscious Lemon Meringue. This is my first talbott order- Excited to try them!

TeaEqualsBliss

I love all three of those!

Today I am getting more strawberry than Chocolate…but…I am getting to the ‘bottom of the barrel’ here…one more serving and I’m all out of this…sigh…

It is quite smooth which I am contributing to the chocolate still. YUM!

I seem to keep coming back to several Talbott Teas lately…especially the flavored blacks for morning! YUM.

Jaime

Just the name of that is enough to make me want to drool.

Well, I over steeped and do not suggest doing that unless you want more of the ‘one the verge of bitter cocoa.’ – it’s still very good overall but less on the strawberry and more on the chocolate…more like dark chocolate instead of sweet.

This has been on my wish list for well over a year! Ahhhhh! This totally made my day when I got this today! The aroma is the perfect ratio of Strawberry and Chocolate to the nose. The taste is juicy strawberry – very realistic! And a nice amount of chocolaty goodness. This is totally YUMMY and VERY tempting! Certainly lives up to it’s name! The BEST Chocolate/Strawberry Flavored Tea I have had to date! LOVE THIS! This will NOT last long in my stash!

LynnP

Funny, I was just drinking Adagio’s “Valentines” tea and thinking I’d like to try another strawberry and chocolate tea. Looks like I’ll have to order some of this soon. Sounds delish!

TeaEqualsBliss

Ironically…I was thinking this would be PERFECT for those ‘wanting more’ from the Adagio Valentine’s offering…LOL…I LOVE this tea!

The Final Sipdown: Day 11
Decupboarding Total: 23

Okay, I was afraid to try this but The Final Sipdown made me. It smells horrid – rooibos and tart. Yuck. But compared to the smell, the taste is divine. I let it cool quite a bit (fear, you know) but it worked out well. The rooibos really backs off when it is lukewarm. Then I only have to contend with the tartness which is somewhat phlegm-inducing but otherwise not horrid. Sort of like if they made a red-fruit Theraflu.

Mmm. Theraflu.

Jaime

Phlegm-inducing tartness? Wow. I want to try this now. Yes, I admit, I’m strange.

Auggy

Hahaha! No worries – sometimes the bad reviews intrigue me more than the good ones, too!

takgoti

Can’t say this made me want to give it a go. I’m hoping you didn’t send me some of this…

Auggy

Hahah – I thought about it but no, I figured I had best man up and keep the last cup of this sample for myself instead of passing on the pain.

A TeaEqualsBliss rooibos! Sadly, it’s a bit too rooibos and tart and not enough berry for me. There is a nice hint of vanilla sweetness at the end but the tart front taste and rooibos-ness just doesn’t do it for me. Rooibos is just a tough one to make me not hate. But I enjoy trying them!

Another sampling from TeaEqualsBliss – thank you!

I really wish this tea didn’t have hibiscus. I don’t really mind hibiscus in blends most of the time, but, I don’t like it when it’s the first flavor that I taste with the initial sip… it sort of turns me off on the cup.

Trying to move beyond the hibiscus, I can also taste the blueberries which have a nice, plump juicy flavor, and I can taste a gentle peach flavor as well – sweet and smooth.

This would be infinitely better without the hibiscus, though (or even just less hibiscus in the blend) – but it’s still decent tasting. Not my favorite from Talbott Teas though.

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for giving me the opportunity to try this tea!

A nice lemon-y flavored rooibos blend. I can taste a bit of creaminess to it too which gives it a meringue-like flavor. All that’s missing now is a bit of crust!

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more
