This is the second tea-infused chocolate I tried after DT’s White Chocolate Matcha Matsu (blech), and I like this one a lot more.
That said, I’m not getting much of the Hot Lips tea flavour here. I can smell cinnamon when I hold the chocolate square up to my nose, but I don’t taste very much cinnamon when I eat it. The most dominant taste is the dark chocolate, which is rich and creamy (as it should be). I can’t taste the tea leaves at all, though I can certainly feel the texture that the ground-up leaves add to the chocolate (somewhat gritty, but not unpleasantly so). There’s a bit of a green tea flavour in the aftertaste. There’s also a hint of spiciness, but just the slightest tinge.
All told, this is a nice rich dark chocolate, but I wouldn’t have guessed it to have any special flavouring if I didn’t know it was from David’s.
