Milk Chocolate from sTEAp Shoppe

Milk Chocolate

Black White Blend by sTEAp Shoppe

This is a full bodied and rich tea with creamy tones to highlight the cocoa flavors. The floral Assam tea combined with the Hojicha’s cocoa notes and White Peony’s soft smooth tones create a warm inviting tea. Fenugreek adds a milk note with a touch of tannin giving it a full mouth feel. The Vanilla aroma is soothing highlighting the cocoa nibs and nubs bringing forward the cocoa notes.

Milk Chocolate Tea Ingredients:
black tea, organic hojicha, organic white peony, organic raw cocoa nibs, organic cocoa nubs (organic cocoa powder, organic all natural maple syrup), fenugreek seed, vanilla bean

Naturally Caffeinated

So, I’m not sure whether this is the same tea as “Milk Chocolate Caramel”, or if that one was discontinued and this one made available in its place… can anyone clear that up for me? The Steepster entries are confusing.

This is also a pretty tasty, and unique, tea. However, it tastes less like milk chocolate to me, and more like molasses. I wonder if the fenugreek is contributing to the flavour and causing that association? Anyhow, a 2-min infusion results in a pretty tasty cup, although I don’t think this is one I’d pick up again. I was hoping for a bit more of a milk chocolate flavour, and if anything, this leans towards dark chocolate. I have sTEAp’s dark chocolate (and white chocolate!) teas as well, so perhaps should have brewed them up alongside for comparison purposes. Maybe when I get back from grocery shopping…

ETA: Second infusion, same parameters, still has that molasses-y taste to me. Probably won’t resteep again, as I think it has now lost most of its flavour.

This Tea is Awesome! Lance told me I could buy me some teas for Christmas and I wanted Chocolate and I had gotten some good chocolate tea samples from sTEApshoppe and they were really good so I decided to try all the “Chocolate” teas she had to offer, We got 2 different Chocolate sampler boxes and some others :) I even got a tea spice, I was really happy when I opened my mail.
This tea is Super good even Lance likes it, it is like Milk Chocolate with a little something extra, the flavors are very deep and delicious wonderful Milk Chocolate taste with hints of caramel and spice, this is a very good tea. If you like chocolate you can get all kinds of good chocolate teas at http://www.steapshoppe.com/gift-boxes.html.
Next up Orange Chocolate White Tea!

Lucky me…my 100th tasting note and steepster isn’t updating. Meh!

So, this tea did not meet my expectations for a chocolate tea. It really tasted like carob to me. So disappointing. I haven’t had a lot of luck with chocolate teas lately. Maybe my taste buds are off?

Thanks TastyBrew!!! Ooh my goodness. Today has been a long day. But on the upside I got 2 free scones the size of my face. I ate one and thought this tea would go well with it. The aroma of this tea is so rich. Like melted milk chocolate. The flavor is rich and chocolatey. There is a hint of maple flavor. This is a wonderful chocolate tea :) I need mooorreeeeeee!
