Dinosara drank Organic Chocolate "O" by The Tea Spot

Today is an exam day for the class I am teaching, which means being busy preparing it and giving it all day. Fortunately we got done a little bit early this morning so I was able to come back to my office and have a nice cup of tea. For some reason I was craving this one and all its chocolately glory.

Oh yes, this is delicious. This is by far my favorite chocolate flavored tea, and that is partly due to the great flavoring but I think majorly to do with the quality of the base tea, which has caramelly, honeyed, chocolatey notes on its own. Yum.

ok now my mouth is watering. I haven’t tried a chocolate tea as of yet. Do you add anything to this brew or drink it straight?

I drink this one straight. I think with additions this would be so rich! Like hot chocolate or something, LOL.

ahh ok, good to know, thank you! I think that’s why I’m almost afraid to try a chocolate tea, because I’m worried I’ll be expecting it to taste like hot chocolate and then be disappointed. I guess I just need to be open to the experience lol

Profile

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
