Chocolate/Cream/ Truffles Black Tea

A composition which is just as delicious as its name promises. A perfect combination: melted, creamy and sweet chocolate, a dash of cream skimmed off fresh milk and light sponge cake from which the creamy truffle mass is produced. This mild black tea makes every sweet tooth forget the creamy desserts in the refrigerator and the chocolates on the table.

Ingredients: black tea (91 %), broken cocoa bits, coconut shreds, chocolate chips (sugar, ground cocoa beans with cocoa butter, powdered cocoa, emulsifying agent: soy lecithin), flavoring.

Serving Size: 1 level tsp./6oz serving

Brew Temp: 203 to 212 degree F

Brew Time: 4 to 5 Minutes

1 Tasting Note

Paul M Tracy

The initial fragrance leaned towards cream and berries with little indication of chocolate. Prepared, there was a subtly sweet, baked-goods aroma.

The taste was disappointing. While the tea base was of a fair body and the slight slick of coconut oil gave it a creaminess, there wasn’t much flavor. The ingredients list includes both cocoa bits and chocolate chips but I couldn’t detect these in the slightest.

This was part of a chocolate sampler pack that I purchased. I hope I have better luck with the remaining teas.
