Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this blend!
It only seems I should review it considering it is a SororiTea Sister blend even if pre-conception of me lol.
I am not sure how old this tea is – I see the first tasting note on it was 2 years ago.
If in fact this tea is that old it has held up very well which is a testament to Blends for Friends – and of course the way TeaEqualsBliss has stored it :)
Regardless – a nice mixture of chocolate, orange, some lovely floral notes, and bergamot.
Each note comes out well on its own yet them melds into a fine blend together.
I will have to try this tea a few times to fully get into it but will do a review in the future on SororiTea Sisters site.

My first tasting of this very special blend created just for us (aka the SororiTea Sisters!)

A lot of chocolate taste here! That’s the first thing I noticed. The orange and rose are background notes here, but they are a very pleasant taste combination with the chocolate. The black tea tastes rich and that richness is further enhanced by the strong presence of the chocolate. Rich, creamy and decadent. YUM!

LOVE this! Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending it my way… I’ve been anxious to try it! I’m thrilled with it!

Finished off the last that I had of this blend … and it will be missed. I will no doubt need to do a re-order of this one at some point.

Here is my full-length review of this one: http://sororiteasisters.com/2011/10/02/sororitea-sisters-special-blend-from-blends-for-friends/

Revisiting this blend today. Today, I taste a pretty well-blended combination of rose, bergamot and chocolate. I really love how this is a different cup each time I brew it. Definitely a winning blend! Love it!

I started my day with this tea today. Very nice, as always. Today, the flavors are a bit more assimilated, I taste hints of rose and chocolate and bergamot, melded together into a unified flavor rather than specific notes. I love that this tea is different every time I sip it.

I am starting my day and my New Year with this blend. The cup started with a strong cocoa note – like powdered cocoa – and now I taste more rose notes. Rose and chocolate. Very little of the bergamot notes today … although that could change as the tea cools a bit. A very enjoyable cup either way.

2012-01-01 15:21:15 -0500

Enjoying another cup of this today. It’s a little different today than it was yesterday. The chocolate is still strong, but the rose is just as strong. It is almost like the two are competing, but not in a bad way. It’s a bit like rose-infused chocolate. YUM!

The bergamot is very soft today, perhaps even softer than it was yesterday, but that’s alright. While I do love bergamot, and appreciate a good, strong cup of Earl, I also like the way the bergamot is represented in this cup. It is soft and beautiful.

I could easily sip on this every day!

Starting my tea drinking today with a cuppa Special Blend! Today, the chocolate is much more mellow than in previous tastings, the rose and chocolate are a little softer in flavor (but definitely still there), but I’m tasting more bergamot. Not as much bergamot as you might experience from a typical Earl Grey, but, more than I’ve tasted in this blend previously. More than a chocolate-y note, what I taste is the creamy notes of the chocolate. It’s all very delicious. I do love this blend.

2011-10-05 16:57:01 -0400

Having another cup today. Today it is more chocolate than rose or bergamot, but the bergamot is peeking through a bit more than the rose today. Yup… a different cup every time I brew it. I like that I never know quite what to expect from it, it makes it kind of exciting and pretty much what I’m about as a tea drinker.

Blends for Friends NAILED it with this blend.

Thought I would have a lil bit of this on my Birthday Today!!!

I didn’t get any rose petals – that was by design – I wanted to see just how much the rose contributed to the overall flavor. It is noticeable! I like it with and without the rose! I like the fact that this is such a diverse cuppa!

Without the rose I could taste the smooth chocolate more and the citrusy-goodness on a different level! YUM!

2011-03-16 10:48:22 -0400

Had another cup of this this morning…actually 2…one hot and one cold…
COLD the chocolate is more noticeable. The bergamot and rose are really lovely HOT today! Sooooooo comforting!~

2011-02-09 09:34:23 -0500

This morning the rose is the prominent flavor with the chocolate on the assist and the orange in the background! This is a tea wonder…that is for sure!

2011-03-14 08:40:48 -0400

A very versatile blend-job here! This time around it tastes like dark chocolate with a little bit of orange and the aftertaste is a little floral…rose.

2011-02-22 08:27:07 -0500

Tastes a lot like Earl Grey today with flowers
A new taste each time I try!
See my other reviews!

First cuppa the day! Check out my previous notes!

2011-03-17 08:41:06 -0400

The draw this morning is the dark chocolate notes and hint of EG likeness! YUMMO!

2011-03-08 11:02:52 -0500

I had 2 cups to start my day! It was more Earl Grey-ish than the last few cups! Still very nice!

2011-02-14 10:03:56 -0500

Since LiberTEAs has been reviewing this a few times I thought I would dig thru my shelves, containers, piles, and storage mounds of tea and and have a cuppa! Still LOVE this – will always LOVE this!

Today I can smell the rose and chocolate but can taste the pure orange. Towards the end of the sip I can taste a dark chocolate flavor that lingers. It’s VERY special!

Upping the rating again :)

2011-10-05 11:12:46 -0400

Backlogging…more of a dark chocolate hint with floral notes and a bold black tea today…

2011-03-23 10:36:51 -0400

I over infused this one earlier today and it tasted like dark chocolate!
