Happy to announce another SIPDOWN, no. 14
After ages this tea buried in my stash, received who knows when; I never looking forward to try it again, I took this one, to finish it. Received from postcrossing… I don’t really know how though. Was it with postcard, was it tea tag? Nevermind…
I know I don’t like this tea, but rating of 30? It’s harsh, but I will raise it a bit.
It’s very sweet as one fifth of contents is licorice. And it should be tongue-tingling and honestly it isn’t. My stir-fry meal I prepared today was more hot (and my family doesn’t like spicy food at all, nor myself!). 0,3 grams of chilli doesn’t make any tongue-tingling infusion!
It’s shame, as Roswell Strange wrote: “…like a cup of unsweetened cocoa.” It is. But there is that cloying licorice sweetness as aftertaste and it’s not that wonderful as I have hoped (again).
Still a dismal, calling it Cocoa & Chilli and the latter one non-present. And first one? It’s like that a bit, okay.
Flavors: Cocoa, Licorice, Sweet
