Picked up a 26g sampler of this today.

This smells EXACTLY like a Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

When measuring it out the chocolate curls are obvious,charming and completely enticing.
The Lemon rinds to my utter joy are also prolific and zesty.

Once steeped it’s a rich darker caramel color and smells about the same if a bit subdued.

Tastes earthy and rich but it’s not overpowering but it is the first impression I get.

The smoky texture immediately changes into the aftertaste of a Chocolate Orange on my tongue.

Overall it’s a pleasant tea but it is the taste shadow of the chocolate orange and not the full flavor I tend to hope for in my gimmick teas.

However there are so many glowing reviews on here so I will try it again and fuss with my preparation.
Hints are VERY much welcomed!

Not Cinnamon-y enough!!!

Pu’erh teas are different. Darker,richer then any other type of tea.Usually smokier and richer in taste and texture.

This tea smells like after eight’s but it doesn’t do the smell justice unfortunately.

I’m looking forward to continuing my experimentation with this type of tea since it is so very different.

Kept giving it a chance but it does nothing for me.

It’s nothing more then swamp colored rooibos that’s a bit sweet.

I was really looking forward to it too!!!

Just spent too much money online at DavidsTea to quell the tears!!

This is a new fave and now a staple for my tea cupboard..this tea blows my mind with how good it is…

I must formally apologize to ginger for the bad rap I have been giving it over the years.

Every time I sip I mention an expletive followed by awe struck adulation..

yummmmmm.

Tried this quite a few times but it never seemed to be the tea I imagined it would be.I honestly just ended up picking the jellybeans out of the bag and ate them instead of making the tea again.

It was worth a try but I think this was TOO gimmicky as a tea.At the end of the day it’s a sweet rooibos and the jellybeans only come out in flavor if you leave them to dissolve totally in the cup and don’t leave them in the strainer.

Fun concept just doesn’t work in practice.Thanks for the jellybeans though!

Gets better every time I drink it..I love this tea so much..

Next time I’m ordering 100grams not just 50!!!

Really lovely light and delicate.

Oh my goodness….so delicious and lovely.

Was so scared to try it but it turns out this is a beautifully balanced tea.

Oh My God…

being a DavidsTea expert (self proclaimed)I made sure that I went with a lower steeping time and with 1.25 tsps since their black teas can become too bitter if even steeped a little too much.You can’t just dump mounds of tea in because you’ll ruin your tasting experience.

I steeped until 5 minutes only.

I was looking for a Tazo Passion tea clone from DavidsTea and I found it!!!!!

SOOOOOOO happy.
For all the people having trouble with this one go easy…and you’ll find the paradise mentioned I swear!

not sure yet..

mmmmm.

better every time I drink it.

I didn’t like this tea..

It tasted nutty and it didn’t seem to work as a balanced drink I found myself wanting to dump it halfway through..not really sure why

so glad I have this or else I would be the walking dead right now.

Makes crappy mornings bearable!

Well it tastes exactly like coffee but without even the benefit of being caffeinated.

bleh,

wished for something more.

Don’t know how I feel about it but I don’t care enough so I’m going to let it go.

Trading the rest for Jungle Ju Ju.

Love this tea.

It tastes exactly like a really fruity black tea done right.

Lightly sweet and I can tell it will taste like an excellent fruity iced tea when iced.
Refreshing too.

And oh my is it stimulating…what’s not to love?

really disappointing.

smelled like lovely fuzzy peaches.

Tastes nothing like any fruit or yogurt and had a curious texture.

meh.

Smelled delicious in the pouch.
I got this from lindairvine as a taste test.

I’m already worried about the hibiscus…(Pink Flaming has made me steer clear of almost all hibiscus in teas,please do read my review)

once brewed it was deep purple and i still smelled no hibiscus just cinnamon and apple bordering on quite subtle with notes of a nutty smell as well.

Is this forever nuts???? It tastes EXACTLY the same…

Wasn’t a fan of that which makes me not a fan of this.

I was just rating Dr.Chocolate and so i wanted to try a sample of a green tea with a nice dark chocolate vibe.My Bff gave me a pouch of this and …wow..

I like this WAAAAAAY better.

Smoother,lighter,smoky and not as overwhelming as the Oolong version.

Forget what I said about Dr.Chocolate..

Next time I have a chocolate craving I’m reaching for this.

No notes yet.

This is a decent white tea.That said…

There are NO strawberries or even a hint of them in my cup.

False advertising all the way.

I like plain white tea and will drink it thus but next time I will buy the plain stuff if I want just the white tea with a no extras experience.

Seems criminal to charge so much and make me have great expectations only to find out I paid for a basic white tea with no extras.This is even more disappointing because most of the other white teas from DT that promise extras..deliver.

It tastes like a nice white tea but because of my disappointment I’m rating it also based on price and what was promised.

Oh my goodness delicious.

Tastes exactly like those hard candies that have yogurt and creamy orange flavor in them sans sweetness.

I’m pretty sure I could drink this every night,
