I dont know what it is, but I’m not a fan of the chocolate-based DT teas that I’ve tried so far. Something about them is too artificial. I must have very unique tastes relative to most of the reviewers.
This tea smells wonderful in the bag. The dry leaf smell is so much better than the DT S’mores tea. I had high hopes, but the brewed tea is a cup of ick to me. Tastes vaguely like cheap generic chocolate, but the black tea comes through in the flavor too. I didn’t finish the cup before brewing something else, but I’m not going to give it my didn’t-finish-the-cup rating as it wasn’t painful to drink, I just didn’t want to finish the cup considering how many new samples I had waiting for me that might be better.
