drank Thé au Chocolat by Lupicia
525 tasting notes

Kind of meh. I ordered this trusting in all the positive reviews, but I should have trusted my instincts. Usually chocolate flavored things just disappoint me as the taste is generally quite artificial. I’ll stick with the natural cocoa flavors in teas like Laoshan Black. Soooo…now what do I do with this entire pouch of tea I don’t like that much?

I would also like to note that this tea packs quite a caffeine punch. Or maybe that’s just because I decided to skip breakfast? Either way, playing Skyrim while shaking with caffeine jitters is not a good idea.

It’s so nice to be missed. :) it’s been a hectic past month.

Yeah, chocolate flavouring is not all that great. I prefer natural chocolate notes, or cacao shells.

I just realized how hypocritical this review must look since I followed it with a great review for Butiki’s Peppermint Patty. But in my defense, the first ingredient for that is chocolate chips!

Chocolate shells are great! I also like Choffy, which is ground whole cocoa beans. So delicious.

I’m very picky about chocolate teas, but there are a couple that I like. I think it’s just done poorly a lot. Three Friends (Butiki), Chocolate Eclair (Fauchon), and Mousse au Chocolat (Mariage Freres) have been my favorites so far.

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
