I really kind of dig this one.
Don’t be afraid to let this one steep for a while. The black base is awesomely mild and doesn’t mind a little extra time in the water.
I’m getting a lot more of the chocolate this time. I think it’s because I let it sit longer. But the mint is definitely the stronger of the two flavor components. Nothing wrong with that! Mint is lovely and good for lots of things.
Soothing, flavorful, dessertlike.
Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, floral greens, matcha, yaupon, mate, rooibos, and honeybush.
Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.
Picky about, but not opposed to: chai, spice/ spicy, fruit flavors, and herbal tisanes.
Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus, plain peppermint.
90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.
