I was dubious about this one because it has so few ingredients, but I figured I’d give it a try anyway. I’m glad I did, because this is a lovely chocolate tea. The cocoa shells are delicious, and the mint is fresh. With milk, it reminds me of a tasty Smith’s mint hot chocolate I tried a few years ago. The resteep tastes mostly like chicory, so I may skip it in the future. But this first steep is more satisfying and delicious than I would have believed were possible! My only comment is I wish the ratio of cocoa shells to mint were higher, because in some cups, it tastes much too minty and less chocolatey. I really need to order myself those cocoa shells I’ve been talking about for years!

Simpson & Vail – 2 ounces for $1.10!
My first impression wasn’t that pleasant, but I feel I did not had enough cocoa shells there that time.
That’s definitely where I’ll get them! I’m just waiting to have a slightly smaller tea stash so I can justify a whole S&V order!
Haha, wishful thinking (for many of us).
So true, especially during this time of year with so many sales!
And we haven’t even gotten to Black Friday! I will likely be all spent out by then. (ok, not likely but certainly.)
