A balance of Indian and Ceylon black teas blended with a cacao and strawberry bits, yogurt and vanilla.
This seems like an acquired taste. My experience was similar to Jason’s (the first commenter). Although it’s not what I expected, I can see myself enjoying this on very rare occasions.
This reminds me of the other cacao-flavored teas I’ve had, like common Vienna green teas. I’m usually not a fan of strawberry in my tea, but this one isn’t too overpowering and the slight hint of vanilla is nice.
At first, the aroma is very pungent and the deep chocolate smells emanate strongly from the dark colored liquor. I added a little milk and honey to soften the kick of the black tea flavor. Upon tasting I was definitely surprised, but a little disappointed. The chocolate hits you hard and fast but its more of a harsh malty chocolate flavor than a smooth milky chocolate flavor. I can maybe get a hint of the strawberry in the aftertaste and the vanilla softens the blow of the chocolate, but the chocolate remains king. Its quite powerful and lingers even after you have finished the sip. I actually found this aftertaste to be the truest chocolate flavor and most enjoyable of the tea. Overall it was a decent experience, but being that I prefer softer more fruity teas and blends, I don’t think I would come back to this. But if you like darker richer blacks, this could be a nice treat for you.
