I was very skeptical of this tea, so I was very glad to get a chance to try this as a free sample. I brewed this hot and let it steep for a good long time. The dry leaf smelled promising, lots of cocoa and nut flavor, which was surprising considering the first ingredient is “apple.” After a good long steeping, I gave it a try and am thoroughly surprised. This tea actually does taste like a chocolate peanut butter cup. Not artificial, not too sweet. The cocoa and chocolate flavor really benefits from the fatty peanut flavor. Usually, chocolate teas are a bit too watery or weird, but having a peanut pairing gives body and balance. This tea was not bad without milk or sweetener, but probably not something I would drink on a regular basis. However, I saw in their blog that David’s Tea intended for these fall flavors to be best as lates, so I added a good splash of almond milk to my cup and tried again. Having a creamy base really adds to the full mouthfeel and dessert quality of the tea, and this would likely be an amazing late for a decadent fall treat. This is a crazy idea for a tea but it actually delivers on chocolate peanut butter flavor. Worth a try if you are curious!

Artist, writer, reader, nerd in fandoms such as: Beatles, wrestling, Sherlock, Monty Python, Simpsons, Game of Thrones, Mega64, and Adagio teas.

I have fun designing themed blends and trying the blends made by others on Adagio. I’ve made themed teas for: X-Files, Mega64, Fallout, the Knick, Hell on Wheels and many more.

I don’t tend to take any sugar or milk in my tea and have a habit of over-steeping. I love trying out themed tea blends, but I would also like to get more adventurous in trying more high quality or unflavored teas.
