Spicy Chocolate Rooibos

1 TB for 450mL water, bare.

Dang! I really wanted to like this more than I do. I hang in limbo right now DavidsTea enters month two (!) of reformulating my beloved Super Chocolate, a green rooibos base with chocolate bits, ciunnamon and a sprinkling of green tea. They suggested I try Spicy Chocolate Rooibos while waiting.

I drink a lot of rooibos throughout the day, as much for my health as for the taste. Colds don’t last nearly as long anymore.

But Spicy Chocolate Rooibos has a red rooibos base. I’ve really come to prefer green rooibos. At least this red rooibos base isn’t minty, but it is woody. Meh. Woody red rooibos with a slick overlay of banana. I saw but did not taste the chocolate bits and peppercorns.

I’ll drink it, but not necause I enjoy it. A real disappointment.

Its been one of those long days. i am looking forward to drinking my tea. I notice a strong banana scent.First sip- no taste of chocolate or peppercorn?i’m a little confused- this taste pretty plain.Maybe i have to taste this a little more often, but as of today- i have to agree with every one else comments. This doesn’t live up to the hype -“this organic tea is absolutely incredible”… not

This tea is simply odd, I don’t taste the chocolate but a medley of confusing tastes put together. I simply didn’t like it hot or cold…

It just tastes confusing, and its a taste that doesn’t really appeal too much to my taste buds. I find it funny that it’s called a spicy chocolate rooibos tea because i don’t taste the chocolate and i certainly don’t taste the spiciness. It’s also rather odd that there are bits of apple and banana thrown in because I’m not sure if i ever used spicy and fruit in the same sentence before.
