Chocolate Rocket

I really enjoy this one with a splash of half and half in the morning. Rich and delicious and comforting, especially in this cold weather. This is the only mate from David’s that I anticipate keeping stocked regularly at home and work. By far my favorite from their line of mates.

My wife recently bought this at Davids. so I tried some and she protested as it was her tea. It tastes interesting in that the roasted mate is different than the green mate. It is definitely energizing and I resteeped it 3 times. I really liked that chicory is added, as this is an antifungal as well for the stomach. The black tea helped also with the immunity. A definite good one in the cold season in terms of flu and temperature.

This tea smells delicious, but is weak tasting when brewed. Leave it to steep for a good long time, and it’s a nice creamy, chocolate with a hint of berry. Also makes the kitchen smell great.

I tried this partly because of the great reviews here. Chocolate, raspberry and almond? Sign. Me. Up.

When I open the tin, it smells like a raspberry truffle. Yum. Yet another tea I could just sit and smell all day long.

Once brewed, the taste lives up to the smell – so long as I use enough leaf.

This one will be staying on my shelf.

Raspberry! I taste that way more than any chocolate. Raspberry, mate, & a mix of almondy sweetness without being sickly. I opted for a thicker, creamier mouthfeel & added a little creamer. I think I’ve found a great replacement for Teavana’s My Morning Mate.

Love it! My fav of Davids mate variations

nice tea… the almond flavour comes through quite strongly… very nice

4/24
i love the look of this tea dry – the cocoa nibs and almonds look appetizing!
definitely smells sweet with a hint of chocolate. (ahh, that’d be the raspberries, forgot they were in there)
the raspberry flavour is definitely stronger than the chocolate. the mate taste is hidden, i guess the chocolate is just more in the flavour.
nice for a raspberry tea though! not tart at all

OMG!!!! Chocolate Rocket in deed!!!!! I love love love this tea! (ok i’m a little hyper, blame it on the tea lol)

This tea smells tastes and feels amazing! this is my new go to for a morning wake up. Light chocolate strong raspberry and silky smooth on the tongue i love it!

Amazing job david’s tea really this is a winner!!!!

For someone who’s tried and did not particularily like Terry’s Chocolate Raspberries, I was surprised to find I rather liked the chocolate and raspberry notes that come through in this tea. I haven’t found myself particularly high-energy after, but I don’t mind the lack of effect — I will have to try again on a day I feel particularly tired.
There is an interesting smokey taste to it, it added a boldness to the flavour that I also enjoyed.

I look forward to continuing to drink the sample that I bought of this tea.

I’m addicted to this tea. Chocolate raspberry with some woodiness is what I taste. It’s like my coffee to me, even though I’ve never been into coffee. This definitely has a permanent place in my collection!

Nabbed a bag of this new tea today. It smells strangely like bananas. It’s lovely and sweet. The raspberries hit first, and the chocolate is kind of a wispy after taste. It’s rich, but really easy to drink. Really juicy.

I’ve resteeped it a couple of times and it’s still good, so it looks like it’ll be going into the travel mug. Definitely a keeper!

I liked this one even less than chocolate orange. It was different. Maybe too many flavours at once? Raspberry, almonds etc. I won’t be buying more. Tasted a bit artificial and I didn’t like that.

if teas had a level of difficulty, i feel like this one would be somewhat high. On the days i can make this properly, it tastes wonderful! otherwise its not so good

I did not like the taste of fruit with chocolate, not the best mix.

This tea was my first mate tea that I had tried and I just keep going back to it! I first bought a 25g bag, but that went too quickly… Now I buy 100g bags and even have two tins for it. I love it in the morning – I just feel more awake after having it. I can’t imagine starting my day without it!

It’s called Chocolate Rocket, but the strongest note I get is raspberry. It reminds me a lot of milk chocolate-covered fruit. There’s some natural sweetness, but not too much. A decent tea, but it hasn’t made me a big fan of yerba mate.

I’ll be honest: I’ve ever been a fan of chicory. I’m trying to put that aside for this review, but…

This was included in the Chocolate Box (set of 9 chocolate teas) from David’s Tea. In the first cup I tried, I had no raspberry pieces. The only flavors I could pick up were the chicory, a bit of chocolate, and maybe a very slight hint of almond.

I made another cup, this time being sure to get a raspberry piece in the scoop. This cup certainly smelled of raspberry at least (as another reviewer said, it was just like the old Lip Smackers!) but I wouldn’t say it had a strong raspberry flavor. That said, the raspberry did seem to balance out the earthiness of the chicory, mellowing the flavor a bit. This cup was much better. The chocolate and almond seemed to come out more for me as the chicory was muted; the flavors were well balanced.

I’m glad I gave this one a second chance. All in all, it was a good cup of tea, but I wouldn’t buy a tin of it because of my feelings towards chicory. However, if you like chicory and you like chocolate, you’ll love this one!

This tea reminded and smelled like Lip Smackers lip gloss I had when I was younger that I didn’t like. Definitely would not buy this again or recommend it.

I dunno, for something with the name Chocolate Rocket, I’ve gotta say, I’ve tasted chocolatey-er. The raspberry in it is nice, but, well, it’s not called Raspberry Rocket, is it? I actually find this kind of dull. Not for me.
