I had this tea yesterday afternoon when I got my swap box from Dexter 3657. Thank-you Dexter3657! First of all I got the brew mixed up. I put some hot water in my cup to warm it up and then had the infuser in the cup warming up too. Then after it had sat there I went and added the tea leaves. Woops! So I dumped it out and added the boiling water to the tea leaves. I may have washed away some of the chocolate flavour but it was still very good. Not what I was expecting but good. I had this taste in my mind of nutty rice and chocolate. I got more of a smooth oolong/black mix with some chocolate notes and a bit of the roasted rice. The rice was in the background and I thought it would be a much stronger flavour. Overall, I still enjoyed it and sipped to the last drop and had a 2nd infusion. That’s a pretty good black tea since I don’t usually enjoy the blacks too often!
