Organic Turkish Delight from The Rabbit Hole Organic Tea Bar

LiberTEAS drank Organic Turkish Delight by The Rabbit Hole Organic Tea Bar

Awesome!

This is simply cacao nibs and rose petals … but it is oh-so-lovely! I recommend infusing this for no less than 10 minutes and if you can see your way to add an extra scoop or two of the leaf in your teapot when you infuse this, your cup will be all the better for it. The chocolate is a bittersweet chocolate kind of flavor, and the rose gives it a very exotic kind of flavor. It is a very pleasant flavor, I like it very much. My only real complaint is that when brewed according to suggested parameters, it produces a thin flavor, and that is the reason for the rating of only 77 … I do think it would be better with more leaf, and a richer chocolate flavor would have elicited a higher numeric rating not to mention squeals of delight from me. (after all more chocolate = better)

Sounds absolutely lovely! Hope it brews better next time using more leaf!

I have had a couple of their teas and they were very flavorful! This one sounds good, too. Their chai had really strong, fresh, natural spice flavors.

Keen to hear more opinions on this one (we always strive to get our blends the best they can possibly be).

If you’re in Australia, i’m sending a free sample to the first three people to email me at corinne@therabbithole.com.au (with “Steepster Freebie” in the subject and your postal address in the body).

Love to hear your thoughts once you’ve tried it.

Cheers
Corinne

PS @ashmanra – glad you’re enjoying our Chai.

Still sad that you don’t ship to the US :(

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
