Chocolate/Cream/Truffles Rooibos

Rooibos Tea by ESP Emporium

Everyone loves the wonderful temptation of soft, melting, creamy truffle chocolate candies. The scent of our composition is an instant reminder of the precious chocolate candy, and spreads a tempting aroma. Complemented by the fine and sweet Rooibos base, the creamy, soft taste will pamper your taste buds. This excellent taste sensation feels like a piece of sweet chocolate, melting in your mouth. Decorated with chocolate pieces and coconut shreds — this is our definition of liquid chocolate.

Ingredients: Rooibos tea, chocolate chips (sugar, ground cocoa beans with cocoa butter, powdered cocoa, emulsi’ing agent: soy lecithin), coconut shreds, flavoring.

Serving Size: 1-2 level tsp./6oz serving

Brew Temp: 203 to 212 degree F

Brew Time: 8 to 10 Minutes

Hmm… I wanted to like this, but I didn’t think it tasted like chocolate at all. All I got was rooibos (a strong, grassy rooibos) and a sharp, almost sour chemical taste (the cream perhaps?) I get the same note from another ESP emporium tea, so there appears to to be a note that does not agree with me. It could, in fact, be the coconut, but I’m not certain. I could not finish my cup, which is rare for me. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price – this one goes to my husband, who probably won’t notice the things I didn’t like!

Thank you, brandy3392, for sending me a sample of this. I kind of really love this tea. It’s got a great balance of rooibos flavor, which is sweet and grassy, and the chocolate and coconut flavors. It smells so delicious, too.
