Unlike the sample I had months ago, I prepared this “exactly” as described on the package save for some neglect steeping.

I’m on my third steep and still digging it. It started out a rich, malty, and slightly bitter chocolate, and consecutive infusions have become more honeyed. I bet I could still get a nice 4th cup out of this, which is pretty awesome.

… I may or may not have run around the house forcing everyone to sniff the tea and tell me how much it smells like chocolate. Whether out of confusion, fear, or sincerity, they all confirmed it does indeed smell a lot like chocolate.

I’m mostly on a mission to try ALL THE BLACK TEA at the moment. When I do venture out of my niche, it’s mostly to dabble in pu-erh and roasted anythings.

Annnd mostly to keep myself consistent…

1-40: Ptoo ptoo!
41-60: Eh. Could do with or without.
61-70: Mm. Good but probably won’t get more.
71-85: Yum! Would keep a bit around!
86-100: ((incoherent slavering))
