I can not for the life of me remember who sent this one to me, but whoever you were thank you! EDITED I remember now, this came from momo during her sell off sale.

I’m still on the hunt for a chocolate tea that I’ll fall in love with. I will say this one is not it and I’m starting to wonder if I ever will find one. I was immediately intrigued by the fact that it had rose listed in the ingredients, but let down a little when I didn’t taste even a hint of it. I was a bit distracted by the fact that this tea tastes just like another that I have had recently, and I couldn’t put on finger on which one it was. The more I think about it the more it bugs me that I can’t remember… argh!

Anyway, this blend tastes very similar to many chocolate teas I’ve had lately and maybe that is why I’m so bothered by it. I’m rather disappointed in the quality of chocolate used and the flavorings have that artificial taste that all chocolate teas seem to have. The strawberries didn’t really taste like strawberries, and the bugs me as well. I just felt really let down by this one. It also left me craving something sweet like you wouldn’t believe.

Bio

I am always interested in swapping so if you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try just send me a message. Please keep in mind that I order most of my teas in sample sizes and may not have a lot to swap. I’m also trying to keep my swaps limited to one a month so I don’t break the bank.

My favorite tea companies to order from are American Tea Room, Rishi, TeaVivre, and Single Origin Teas, however I am constantly lured away from my favorites by a good sale.

Ingredients I love in tea
rose, peach, oolong, osmanthus, vanilla, marshmallow root and peppermint

Ingredients I dislike in tea:
spearmint, chocolate, orange, hibiscus, sage and for the most part lemon.

I am a firm believer that sage only belongs in my thanksgiving stuffing/dressing and absolutely not in my tea.

Allergies
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Burdock Root, and Goji Berries

Teawares:
FORLIFE Curve Teapot, 24oz

Adagio Iced ingenuiTEA, 32oz
Zojirushi Water Pot, 4L
Libbey Country Fair drinking jars for ice tea

Rating Guidelines:

100 – 90: Pantry essential and some of my all time favorites that I can’t live without.

89 – 80: You’ll have a pretty good chance of finding this is my pantry on a regular basis, but it isn’t the end of the world if I run out.

79 – 70: I might consider restocking this at some point if the price was right.

69 – 40: Not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.

39 – 20: What in the world were they thinking? Probably still finished this just because I hate to waste anything.

19 – 0: Wow, that’s so terrible chances are pretty good I dumped it out and gave away the rest.

My current top five favorite teas:

China Black – Rishi Tea
Earl Grey Cream – Zen Tea
Lemoncello – American Tea Room
Nonpareil Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong – TeaVivre
White Tea Rose Mélange – Rishi Tea
