ChocoNut

Having had a less than great experience with flavored green teas, and never having tried a chocolate green tea before, I was a little wary of this one. And I was pleasantly surprised. It’s pretty good.

The tea is pretty, with whole chamomile flowers in it, as well as nuts and little bits of chocolate, etc. adding texture and color to the green of the leaves. It smells nutty and chocolatey, sort of liquer-like.

The liquor is pale yellow, like many green tea liquors, but cloudy from the dissolution of various other ingredients. It has a chocolatey sweet smell.

The taste was surpising to me. I didn’t find the tea bitter. It wasn’t the main event, but it could have turned the experience into a bad one had it been an unimpressive or bitter green tea. Mostly, the flavor is a somewhat delicate, chocolatey, nutty, spicy combination that hit the spot after a really long day.

BTW, I am now the proud owner of a Bodybugg! I got it for my birthday and it is sooo cool. It’s giving me a much needed boost of motivation to lose those last 10 lbs I’ve been working on for a while now. Love it, love it, love it!

Hey, it’s another night of discontinued tea as I work on my comp paper for grad school. I bought this from Teavana a while ago. It smells wonderful, which I’m sure is part of the reason I bought it. I brewed this along time ago, probably found it too bitter, and put it away in the “Tea Box Void”. I resurrected it recently and found it still had a pleasant smell, so I thought I would give it another try. This time, I did some homework, and found out you shouldn’t brew it for more than 2 minutes. Check and check. The short steeping helped a lot, and it is a pleasant tea to drink.

As it’s cooling down, I think I would prefer it iced. Also, I agree with the other reviews that these flavors would have worked better with a black tea. The green tea they’ve used is just too unforgiving. Well, not like it matters since it’s discontinued.

Mixed with Peppermint it tastes kind of like a Peppermint Pattie but you have to get it just right.

Following the other comments, I went for a very short steep and it paid off. Fortunately all of the flavors complement each other. Reminds me of a chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie minus a just few calories!!!!

I thought I would like this tea. I like most of the ingredients. But,the tea no matter how short I steeped it. I’t always came out bitter.

It was good. Not great, but ok.

This is a very unusual tea! I don’t drink it often but it’s good to have in the cupboard for when I want something really different. I brew this with cool water like I would for any green tea, letting it sit for a little longer than usual to get the most out of the chocolate and nut flavours. I’d recommend this one for people who are just getting into green tea, or anyone who is a big fan of well-flavoured teas.

It had a funny green tea taste I’ve tasted before, and I think chocolate flavorings go better with black tea, but the nuts really shake this tea up a bit. It was good and I enjoyed it but doubt I’ll get it again any time soon after I finish the can.

I’ve managed to oversteep this nearly every time I drank it. It’s really a tease because I can taste how good it could be.

Every time I open the canister, someone comments on how great it smells. (Okay, it’s usually my office mate.) It’s also delicious. Being green tea, though, it can get bitter fast if left steeping too long.
