Sipdown (1911)!
I picked up a handful of teas from this company during the Tea Festival, but this is actually one that I received as a free sample – just a single cup worth. It was kind of shockingly nice, and I don’t mean that as a slight towards the tea. It’s more than chocolate blends don’t usually resonate very strongly with me right away but someone about this one stood out. I think it was mainly that it did taste sweetly of chocolate but there was also clearly something else. It was hard to put my finger on what that other thing was though; at times it was like a honey or caramel flavour and sometimes it was more nutty, like an almond nougat. It worked very well with the more liqueur-like chocolate notes though.
