I got this tea as a gift and it for sure would not have been on my list to try. This was actually my first time drinking tea with chocolate in it. It smelled terrible. It didn’t smell like delicious hot cocoa – it smelled like a dirty jock strap! BUT…then I sampled it and it was quite delightful. I was really surprised! It was like tea mixed with watered down hot chocolate. So, it was neither tea nor hot chocolate, but an interesting fusion. I will definitely enjoy this one as a tasty treat!
