Placed an order with Wize Monkey recently because, firstly, I love them but also because I really wanted some of the new Chocolate Dreams tea for at home so I don’t have to keep stealing it from my manager’s tin at the office – and of course you can’t just order one thing so I actually added in every other tea from their collection that I hadn’t previously tried – which ended up being a total of three other teas.
I was hesitant about this one because I don’t love jasmine too much; in some forms it’s definitely ok but I am quite particular about it – but this was actually pretty tasty! I thought the jasmine was actually pretty light handed and I can see that maybe disappointing someone who REALLY loves jasmine, but for me it was just enough to add a nice floral touch to the smooth, buttery coffee leaf. I found the cup really easy to drink, and while it wasn’t anything super nuanced or “high concept” it was tasty and made for a very nice, easy drinking/mindless cup that just felt good.
Ultimately that’s what I want out of jasmine – relaxing, simple, and smooth. So I’m actually very surprised with just how awesome I found this one! Happy I gave it a shot!
I’m not a Jasmine fan but your Chocolate Dream review really made me want to try Wize Monkey. I’m really hoping the grocery store nearest me that’s listed on their site has it in stock.
They’re a super awesome company! Chocolate Dream might not be in retail stores yet because it’s still REALLY new (less than a month old), but their Minty Marvel and Earl Grey are both REALLY tasty! I tried the Ginger Lemon this week too and was impressed with how nice the lemon note is – even if I don’t personally enjoy ginger very much.
