whosbradpitt drank Dark Chocolate Orange by DAVIDsTEA

259 tasting notes

I was pleasantly surprised by this tea! I find chocolate orange a bit hit-or-miss in general because it’s frequently so bitter, and chocolate tea has disappointed me before. I brewed this in the morning and kept it in my travel mug to enjoy all day, and I never tired of it.

I’m not a huge fan of sweeteners added to the tea for me; in this case it helped the bitterness of the chocolate and orange and felt balanced. I’m usually content to wait until the end of advent season to order something I liked – goodness knows I have enough – but I needed more of this.

DAVIDsTEA advent, day 4

Flavors: Chocolate, Orange

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
