Jenn-cha drank China Seduction by Design a Tea

I decided to give this one another try today. I measured out two heaping teaspoons, double what I had used before, and as I was doing so I realized that only about a third of the mix was tea leaves. The other two thirds were chocolate nibs and rose petals respectively. Perhaps that was the cause of the weak taste last time.

After steeping the liquor was a murky red-brown. Very murky, I could hardly make out where the spoon touched the bottom of the tea cup and I use a small cup.

First sip…WOW! Now THAT is CHOCOLATE! Milky smooth but with a slight dark coco bitterness. It actually tastes a lot like the jasmine-infused chocolates that I have. I’ll have to try blending this with some jasmine tea at some point.

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.
