I wrote a tasting note somewhere and then misplaced it, and my brain is currently not retaining a whole lot of information, so here we are. All I can really recall is I’ve had some bad experiences with cacao teas, so I went in here with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. It felt well-balanced and easy to drink. I don’t know that I’d seek it out, but I would be happy to have it again.

Sipped over the weekend. This blend reminds me so much of Wize’s Chocolate Dream blend, which has the best chocolate cake type of profile but with just a bit of a caramel flavour. I don’t usually love chocolate teas but I adore both that one and this one.

Steeped this one up as a morning cuppa in the office today. Just gonna keep the note short and simple, as I’m reaching a bit of a wall tonight where I kind of am mentally done writing tasting notes – but just wanted to make sure to emphasize just how consistently smooth the cacao/chocolate notes of this tea are. Like a perfect slice of chocolate cake.

So when I bought this my expectations were low, but I just wanted a guayusa or mate in teabag form so I could have something a little more energizing/focus driven for travel. I was actually really pleasantly surprised by just how delicious the cacao flavour used in it was. It reminded me exactly of the chocolate/caramel flavouring combination in Wize Monkey’s Chocolate Dream coffee leaf blend and that’s probably my favourite chocolate tea in my entire collection – so the comparison is high praise! I definitely did not taste any guayusa, but I was just so preoccupied by the excitement of finding a chocolate tea that excited me so much that I didn’t care.
