I should have read the reviews before work, because I made a cup in my Timolino, and now I have oily stains on the rubber part…ECK. Yet….I can’t be mad at how beautiful this tea is!
Opening the bag intimidated me but the strong smell of peppercorn! The fragrance softens with a creamy, white chocolate and definitely reminds me of what Christmas smells like, strong yet sweet.
I have 50g of this and honestly, I thought I wouldn’t like it, the peppercorns scare the crap out of me, and it has white chocolate. I haven’t had a good experience with chocolate teas yet, they taste like watered down hot chocolate.
Anyways, through my crazy hectic day at work, my break with this tea, is absolutely remarkable…I did had it steeping in my timolino for about 20 minutes but at least it’s a herbal, and let me tell you again….it’s freaking amazing.
Drinking is a bit “a slap on the face” the mint is so strong it tingles the nose. But the taste is calming, the first thing you taste is the white chocolate, it’s creamy, and then finishes off with the peppermint coolness. I always ‘blow the coolness out of my mouth.’ Just like if I was outside in the cold! Lol.
I’m finishing off with a cup, before bed, and I’m definitely happy with this tea. I just ordered 100g more with the 3 for $30 tin.
