drank Chocolate Rooibos by HEB
1987 tasting notes

Ah, this tea. I was craving something sweet. Nothing much at home (if I don’t count Christmas cookies) and I wanted another hot mug of tea. I was looking to my fruit teas. Nada. White and green teas. Nothing sounded good for me. Herbals… many herbal herbals, but I found I put this one there. I remember receiving two tea bags from Michelle, but one was drank once upon a time, but second one I was keeping. And today the time for it has come!

I read a few notes, opened the tea bag wrapper and my nose was struck with chocolate-boozy-chocolate topping by Hershey’s, notes. The last metioned I actually had, but I could be 7 years old or so. But this brought me back memories. Aroma memory is pretty strong if you ask me.

I decided to steep it for suggested (by others) 10 minutes and honestly, it was still fairly same, but amazingly done! Exactly that topping aroma, rich chocolate flavour, quite sweet without sweetener and little boozy flavour.

Not a tea I would crave often, but I think I would buy a box if I would be in HEB store.
Thanks a lot, Michelle!

I love this variety!

This is a bit boozy, isn’t it. For some reason this is not in every HEB store, only the biggest and most posh, so sometimes I have to hunt for it. And when I find it, usually its mostly gone from the shelf and there are only a few boxes remaining! Glad it hit the spot and I will go make myself a cup too!

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
