Pu-erh Yerba maté Blend by American Tea Room
A velvety blend of Pu-Er, Cacao, Mate, Coconut and Long Pepper. This black blend is high in caffeine. Coco*Loco is energizing and uplifting.
Well, this is very scented! Sort of smells like Chocolate Milk and Black Pepper.
The Post-Infused Tea looks a little murky at first but it settles. It’s chocolate-esque and the coconut is a nice touch. There are hints of peppery-goodness too. I would say it’s fairly velvety, sure!
This is pretty good! I was afraid at first because of the Pu-erh but it ended up being quite good.
This is similar to a chocolate/coconut puerh I had from David’s tea but this one is better. With the addition of the pepper, the spiciness is a perfect foil for the puerh. In fact, if you are looking for a strong chocolatey tea, I would look elsewhere. The spicy pepper defintely predominates….
Hmm… I suspect that this is the same tea as Rishi’s Chocolate Chai which I previously reviewed here: http://sororiteasisters.com/2010/10/27/chocolate-mate-chai-from-rishi-tea/ I had thought I wrote a tasting note about it as well, but, either it has disappeared or I didn’t post a tasting note … anyway…
This has a savory cocoa flavor. The pu-erh compliments the cocoa notes. A bold cup with a lot of flavor.
I like Rishi’s Chocolate Chai better because I like Rishi Tea better. Rishi’s price tag is better too.
Super chocolatey! If you aren’t a pu’erh fan, this may be a bit too strong, but I’m really enjoying it.
This snowy morning, I decided to try yet another one of my ATR samples, Coco Loco. Upon opening the package, I smell almost a rich, vanilla-ish scent of baking cookie dough. It’s sweet, but deep, too.
I used the Breville at 200 degrees for 5 minutes.
Wow! It smells wonderful! Like fresh baked chocolate chip cookies with coconut, but not that overly sweet smell. The taste is really unique. I can taste chocolate and a slight bit of coconut. I don’t taste pepper at all, but there is a slight spiciness to it that is pleasant and piques my interest. It has an earthy, sweetish finish to it. It’s really good. I’ve never tried pu-er before and I’m guessing that this is what is creating the grounding effect and prevents it from going over the top, even thought it’s a mixture of other tea, too. It’s lovely!
