It smells very vanilla-y. Taste-wise, there’s not too much caramel. It’s just smooth.

Brewed, the smell reminds me of toasted marshmallows but with mint added.

The taste is nice. Sweet at first, then minty, then smooth vanilla. It’s tasty. :)

Honestly… this is gross. I don’t know what’s up with it (or how I’m making it), but I’ve given it to some friends to try and they agree.

Nice, but not my thing. Gave it to my dad, who loves herbals.

Nice, rich chocolatey-minty flavour. I’m actually pleasantly surprised by how dessert-y it is. I prefer it with milk – it compliments the smoothness of the chocolate.

I’ll be honest. I bought this because the novelty appealed to me. I got it home and steeped it though, and it’s not like anything I expected.

The chocolate is very much present, and the chili keeps things really interesting without actually being spicy (I drank this with milk and sugar, so that may have to do with it). I’m really liking it – it’s slightly sweet and chocolatey but not too sweet and chocolatey, if that makes sense.

Man, I’m bad at describing this. It’s just good.

Oh, and though it’s not that spicy, don’t drink it if you have chapped lips. Ow.

I used one and a half scoops (with one of those perfect cup of tea scoops), and steeped it for only two and a half minutes. The flavour came out much nicer, so I’m bumping the rating up.

Dry, the smell of the tea is really dominated by orange – in fact, I couldn’t pick up any chocolate at all. Steeped, the smell is much mellower, and the chocolate is just present enough to smooth things out while the orange sweetens things up.

The taste is lovely and light, and the chocolate and orange work well together to make a sweet, smooth flavour. I’m wondering if I should try steeping it a bit longer, though – the taste is a bit too light and gets a bit lost in the agave syrup I added.

Dry, the tea has a very, very strong vanilla scent. Once steeped, however, the vanilla is toned down and the other scents peek through. The scent is not particularly vanilla-y or hazelnut-y, though – it’s more milky.

The taste is smooth and pleasant – again, not really vanilla or hazelnut in particular, just smooth and nice, with some vanilla and hazelnut more in the back of the mouth.

Threw in a scoop of peppermint to help with an upset stomach.
