Ok, so this was one of the samples I was offered as soon as I entered dT today. And I have to say: very underwhelming. I could taste the chocolate, and a bit of the earthiness of the puer, and that’s about it. I couldn’t really detect the black base, although I did get the impression that the whole thing would be next-level awesome with a bit of milk and sugar (because you seriously cannot have watery hot chocolate, you just can’t. I think it’s illegal, even). So I did pick up some to try out at home, but I wasn’t overly sold. I also just think that when it comes to hot chocolate, I’d always just prefer the real thing anyway. it’s like all the milk substitutes that, for me at least, don’t measure up taste-wise.
That said, dT was just such a happy place today. I’ll always like going there.

I’m brewing this at this very instant! Guess I won’t expect much going into it. :)
Hey, you might be pleasantly surprised! I look forward to seeing what you think :)
Oh man, I smelled this one today and I have to admit that I really dislike the DavidsTea chocolate flavour. I couldn’t even try it, and I was really looking forward to it!
Definitely not for everyone. Also: real hot chocolate.
mmm, real hot chocolate. Made with milk, and chocolate. :D :D
I’ve only had a few chocolate blends that really satisfied me, and at least half of them include barley as an ingredient. Barley really complements the chocolate flavor and makes it taste much richer and less watery. Although most of them are also even better with milk.
