Mayan Chocolate Truffle

Ah- this tastes like cinnamon- no chocolate, no chili pepper detected. Hmmm..upon close inspection, this sampler does contain lots of cinnamon bark ….if you want a cinnamon flavored tea, this is it.

It does look pretty. Remember that old commercial where a petulent old woman demands to know “where’s the beef”? Well, I have tried this and I want to know “where’s the tea?”
I am right now brewing about 8 ounces with 6 spoonfuls of the tea and I’ll revise this review if I can discern any taste aside from a sort of sugar water from this. I know it’s possible to get an excellent chocolate taste from a decaf tea. So far, this hasn’t done it for me.

This tea reminds me of a chocolate strawberry. Fruity and chocolatea (aaahh see what I did there ;D). Can’t really find the red pepper in this tea. It reminds me of something Teavana has. Not really liking the aftertaste. I might have to save this tea for when I’m craving something chocolate covered. Sorry :/ Not really a whole lot to say about this one..

Appearance: large chunks of dried fruit and chocolate pieces. Liquor: orange hues with considerable sedimentation. I don’t like how the chocolate pieces melt, because it makes the texture of the liquor thicker than it should be. Smell: fruity and chocolate-y. Taste: More fruit than anything, with nice spice notes. The chocolate comes through. Not my standard tea, but in the right mood, this is an okay way to mix it up. 5/10.

Drank this yesterday, and I felt that it tasted mostly of fruit. No chocolate and certainly no chili, but a tart strawberry finish. I admit, I was not too impressed, and though I will probably drink the rest of what I have in the house, I won’t be buying more.
