I got this as a free sample with my SpecialTeas order. I wouldn’t have ordered it otherwise but was glad to try something new.
It’s… eh. I think the cardamon flavor is too strong, and I’m not a big fan of the spice anyway. The cocoa flavor comes through too, and is pretty smooth.
It’s not a terrible tea, I just don’t think it’s my taste. I might drink it when I get low on the teas I really like.
This is a pretty good tea. The cardamon and the cocoa complement each other well. This tea is a bit like chai, but less complex. It’s not a “light” cup, but rather a tea for cold weather and a slice of cake or rich pastry. It seemed a bit rich for an everyday cup, but for a special occasion or as an indulgence it would be quite nice. The only other gripe might be that the black tea base for this was just a teensy bit bitter, but that may be corrected with a shorter steep time. I only had a single cup because that was all the tea I had to work with, but I plan on buying more and possibly updating this review. If you like cocoa or chai, this might be a good tea for you.
