This is one really awesome blend!
A lot of different tastes in the cup, primarily I taste hints of citrus and licorice, but there is a nice smoky spiced undertone to it too. Very good! Not very much in the way of the chocolate flavor, but, the other flavors going on are delicious and intriguing. Spicy, but not too spicy, sweet… but not too sweet. Very well-balanced.
I really am liking what I’m seeing from this tea company so far. Cool packaging and interesting and very DIFFERENT blends.
LOVE the name of this one too! :)
I’m really diggin’ this company! For soooo many reasons!
As for this tea…it’s alright. When I first smelled the dry leaf it reminded me of some sort of marinade…almost like a steak rub or something.
There are so many flavors in this tea…due to so many ingredients! I was nervous thinking it would be all spice and not much else…but I think the Yerba Mate changed it up a bit and made it unique and somewhat sweet, even. I would LOVE to taste a bit more of the cocoa nibs as I think that is the ingredient I am tasting the least of but I won’t hold it against ’em.
I can’t help but like this cup…it’s just fun and certainly gets an ‘e’ for effort. I like the other two I have had from Indie better but this one is alright too!
I’m a fan. Loose leaf teas are my favorite, and the only reason I ever have bagged tea is because TJ MAxx gets so many and I am a sucker for cool packaging. This one was a gift, and I like it. I’m a fan of benefits in tea, and consider it more important than the taste. The taste of this doesn’t rock my world, but I feel better drinking it than purely delicious blends.
