Superanna picked this from my wishlist and gave it to me as an early birthday gift, along with a couple of other Lupicia teas. Thank you, Superanna!
I really shouldn’t have had the caffeine, but I made just one cup’s worth tonight because I could not wait to try it. I split that one cup with Ashman but I didn’t tell him what we were having, just that it was one of my early birthday teas.
Ashman usually dislikes chocolate in tea unless it is cacao nibs, and he dislikes raspberry in general. He liked this tea!
He said it tasted like mahogany wood and tobacco leaf to him, no doubt the base teas coming through. I mentioned that a lot of people probably take it with milk and sugar and he said he thought it would be especially good that way, so one day soon I will make a big pot and let him experiment with it.
As for me, I liked it just as it is, and I see why it is so popular. The aroma is identical to the Godiva raspberry filled chocolate bars I used to buy at Barnes and Noble.
I do love this tea!
