The dry leaf smells very much like what I would imagine a dark chocolate liquor would smell, and the steeped tea smells likewise. After it was first brewed and I was allowing it to cool however, I could swear it smelled just like Tootsie rolls…Quite the opposite of the gourmet experience this tea was aiming at. This impression didn’t last long, though. There is a sourness in both this and in Florence that reminds me more of alcohol than it reminds me of the bitterness of dark chocolate. I don’t know what I would do to improve my experience of these teas. Perhaps soy milk…?

Some of the MF teas do tend to get very very boozy.
I wish it was toned down a little and that it was thicker/creamier. This is definitely chocolatey, but the mousse part I am not getting at all…
Some of the really dark, single origin chocolates taste very boozy. Maybe that’s what they were going for.
