Walnut Fudge Brownie

Knowing this tea was waiting for me in the Breville this morning was the only thing that forced me out of bed.

It smells just like brownies. Taste is chocolatey, with a hint of the walnuts, and smooth black tea. Doesn’t quite taste like I just bit into a brownie, but it’s definitely not far from it. Perhaps a longer steep? Still, it’s quite delicious and I’m enjoying every drop.

Sare was kind enough to share a bit of this with me.

I think I could have used a little less water for this it was a bit diluted. I think with the proper leaf/water ratio this would be really good. I am getting the chocolate flavour as well as walnut, they mix together nicely, but not so much in a brownie like way.

ETA: 200th tasting note

This is a weird one for me. I taste the walnut. I taste the chocolate. I just don’t think “brownie” for some reason. I think, “delicious,” don’t get me wrong. But it reminds me of walnut fudge ice cream… oh who cares.

It’s walnut, chocolate and freakin’ delicious. Nuff said.

(Thanks go out to JoeCool (Nichole) for sending me some. Chica, you rock!)

OK so this one im struggling with this one a little bit I dont really tast the chocolate and i so wanted this one to Fill my need for chocolate! I do like the tea i put a little honey in this to sweeten it and to not use two equals ! its a good tea just wish it had more of a pop of chocolate

Thanks LiberTEAs! I have been wanting to try this one since it came out and thanks to my SororiTEA Sister I was able to! :)

WOW! Just…WOW! In my loose leaf mix I had 3 large Chocolate Chips and a good chunk of walnut…this smelled AWESOME! The Walnut and Chocolate are wonderful together and ‘thick’ like a milk shake type taste or a batter type thickness! YUM! The Black Tea Taste is still present and I am happy for that!

This is really amazing…I LOVE IT!

I had this for my morning tea, it is very smooth. I can taste hints of nuts and chocolate but not very strong. Will play around with tea, it is very enjoyable I just wish there was a stronger chocolate flavor. (But I am a chocoholic so keep that in mind I will ALWAYS want more chocolate!) I am very pleased with 52teas! Will definitely be following the tea of the weeks and ordering again.

Aroma of the dry leaf – yep… smells like brownies. The liquor doesn’t carry as strong a scent though. I can still smell the chocolate and the walnut though, and it smells yummy.

This is a tea that I feel like I’m going to need to spend a bit more time with before I can write a review though. So… that’s all you’re getting from me at this point.

Finally dipped into my sample of this. Figured since it was Christmas, it was as good a time as any. Didn’t have it as a tea, though. I latte’d it for my brother and I. It makes a great chocolate base for such a sweet endeavor. I’d wager it makes a pretty good tea, also. But as a latte, it’s tops.

When I first opened the pouch, the smell of freshly baked brownies was so strong that I had to resist the urge to take out a spoon and taste the leaves as is.

The brewed tea has a very walnuty taste. It lacks just a little bit more chocolate, but it is still sweet and delicious and smells fantastic.
