Oh criminy jeebus. Thanks DaisyChubb for this fantastico tea!
She suggested I try it with cream and chocolate chips, so I figured I would hit the store. But before I did I hit the cupboard and found some traditional Aztec hot chocolate and sprinkled that in with the tea! Let me tell you, it’s perfect! It’s so creamy, bold and spicy!
This one is MUCH better than my previous Belgian Chocolate Rooibos.
I don’t find it particularly “chocolatey” in the sense that Chocolate Rocket is – it doesn’t replace a candy bar in that sense, but it is still a decedant and yummy tea.
I added a splash of milk and agave nectar and it was a really nice alternative to black tea tonight. (Last night… backlogging haha)
I have a LOT of this tea so I’m going to be experimenting with it, mixing it with other teas (Chocolate earl grey?) I’ll let you know if it turns out!
