Jenn-cha drank China Seduction by Design a Tea

When my package from Design a Tea arrived last week I could smell this before I even opened the package. Not the bag with the tea, the PACKAGE that all of the teas came IN. Ever since I have been smelling it whenever I open my tea cabinet. Today was the day, I vowed

So, after steeping this tea is a very dark, murky amber. The murkiness being from sediment due to the chocolate chips. I tried without sugar first and was saddened to find that the liquor did not taste nearly as chocolaty as the dry leaf had smelled. With sugar there was definitely an improvement on the level of chocolate on my tastebuds. So I tried adding milk. The chocolate level was the same but there was a smoother finish and the liquor felt almost silky.

I think next time I drink this I will try doubling the leaf amount. Definitely better than the Chocolate Raspberry blend though.

Oh, ok. I thought “Not the bag with the tea, the PACKAGE that all of the teas came IN.” was what was being smelled.

Bio

I have loved tea for quite some time but have only gotten into loose leaf teas in the last two years or so. About the only flavor I will not drink is anise/licorice.

I almost always put sugar in my tea. I rarely use honey. Many black teas (and all chai) usually gets a little milk added as well.

Blue Tetsubin – 12oz * This is my usual pot. I can fill my blue & white china cup (4oz) three times.

Green Tetsubin – 10oz * I usually use this with my pink Koran china cup & saucer set. I can fill one of those cups three times.

Yixing Pot – 6oz * Dedicated to dark oolongs. I usually decant the tea into a (6oz) paisley cup.
