I don’t drink hot chocolate too often given that it’s overwhelmingly sweet, but this is the perfect balance for me. It is insanely good and offers a different take on the traditional chocolate tea with the addition of the earthy notes from the pu’erh. This would be a nice gateway tea for someone that is interested in trying pu’erh but doesn’t want to go the full monty. It’s present here but not despotic.
I was really impressed by the dry blend as well. Smells absolutely delicious and it has THREE sources of solid chocolate in it (chips, curls, nibs). I found myself babysitting the filter more trying to get as much of it to melt as I could but it’s worth the effort. Beautiful with some milk added.
