Snow Day

This tea tastes more like mint than anything else, but I still enjoy it. It’s refreshing and I find it makes a soothing cup after a long day. I found it to be slightly disappointing when I first tried it because I could not taste the chocolate.

This was fairly decent but a bit too strong on the peppermint for me. The chocolate was a little too “cheap chocolate” flavoured as well. It was a little bit creamy which was nice but overall, not the best mint chocolate out there.

I thought the mint was a little overpowering, so I wasn’t getting a lot of chocolaty flavor. A sweet flavor yes, but not a good balance of flavor for me to buy again.

Sipdown backlog from a few days ago.

I generally dislike teas that are heavy on peppermint (I prefer spearmint), and I really dislike white chocolate, so I wasn’t really looking forward to trying this. But I summoned the courage when I got it in a gift box set.

It’s not bad, but not that great. Minty, chocolatey, meh.

Very minty (hah!). Seriously though, even though one of the main ingredients is mint leaves, I was still surprised by how minty it was. Too strong for me, so next time I make it it will be with less leaves than recommended and/or a shorter steeping time.
Oily filmy drops on the top of prepared drink, to be expected from the chocolate drops in the ingredients.
The look of this dry tisane is so adorable!!! I love winter and snow, and the smell of this is quite lovely albeit veeeery strong. It smells very minty and chocolatey, and similar to After Eight chocolates. The chocolate flavour is definitely there in the prepared tea, but the mint dominates and I am not as huge a fan of mint as I thought I might be, so I will prepare this differently next time I have it.
I think it’s well made, I am just am not as big of fan of mint as I would like to be. If you are looking for a very strong minty drink with added chocolateyness, then I’d suggest this!!
And the score I give it is because I am not a fan of mint as much, it doesn’t mean it’s a sub-par tisane. If I liked mint more the score would be higher. It’s well prepared and I think it’s great for those who would prefer a strong mint.

I had big expectations for this tea because I adore mint and chocolate and together they are a masterpiece. I was slightly disappointed with it but it was drinkable. I prefer the mint chocolate rooibos better. The snowflakes were very cute though.

*Update: Way better as a latte.

I got this one in the advent calendar this year and it’s really great! I generally am not a huge fan of chocolate teas, but for some reason the mint balances out the sweetness. It is still noticeably sweet, but when I need a treat without getting elbow-deep into a bag of chocolate-covered almond, it works. The thing that confuses me is the smell of the tea. it smells very weird – almost astringent and acidic, which I might expect if it had artificial flavors, but it doesn’t. It will remain a mystery, but don’t judge by the smell.

One of my favourite teas to drink when I’m stuck inside on a snowy day. The chocolate taste isn’t too overpowering and the mint is a nice note at the end.

I just realized I drank this on what was actually a snow day, how appropriate.

Unfortunately, this tea is awful. I’ve never been a fan of DAVIDs’ mint (I think I’ve made that pretty clear to anyone who follows me), but there were quite a few mint teas in the Advent Calendar (including this one) and up until now they at least been tolerable.

Not so in this case. It starts off promising. Mint and white chocolate. Not great and I wish it felt a little more “crisp”, but it wasn’t terrible. As it cooled off, however, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was eating compost/plastic masked by mint. It also had that off putting sickly sweetness at the back of your throat. I considered throwing this down the drain (which I don’t believe I’ve ever done) and I have no idea how to handle the last half of this tin (probably get my boyfriend to try it—he’s less picky). This was truly bad. I actually feeling kind of nauseous now… The 5 points it’s getting is because at first I had hope.

I was incredibly excited for this, being a lover of mint and especially white chocolate. But this fell a bit short. Even sweetened, there’s a strange acrid overtone to it. I think the white chocolate lovers like me will be somewhat disappointed, but herbal tea lovers and those who like menthol will like this.
