I got this in the mail today from MandyB. (Among others! Thanks Mandy!!!) For some reason prior to steeping I can smell the Puerh and Nutmeg. Personally, I am on the fence about this pre-steep scent. I was expecting pure chocolate. Regardless on with rest of my review, right!? I’m steeping for about 3 minutes but it looks like there is more to steep…The color is dark brown – maybe even a little cloudy – but not overly. Can still smell the nutmeg in this after steeping…it even smells a bit smoky. The taste is quite different than I thought it would be as well. It’s also smokey but sweet…Cocoa-esque but not chocolate. Cinnamon and Nutmeg. And I think I can even taste the Orange Peel but barely. I think all of the ingredients jive well and bring them all down to a medium level. It’s not bad…actually I am kinda likin’ it…

I’m drinking this right now. It’s a personal favorite. I love that it’s chocolatey without being super sweet. By chance, I had some strawberry juice (I was making strawberry icecream) and I added it to this tea… the best thing I ever tasted!

That sounds like an AWESOME Add! Might have to try that!!!
Those were pretty much my thoughts when I drank this tea. :)
