Another sipdown, another temporary one. I think I should probably manage some not so temporary ones sometime soon-ish, though. Anyway, I don’t know how much I used, but apparently it was too little(or, you could also say I used too much water), the result was weak – guess I overestimated how much was left.

Actually had this yesterday, just realized I hadn’t logged it. (Also, need to start writing proper tasting notes/reviews again …)

Still good.

Forgot to log this immediately after drinking it this morning, again, but I think I remember more this time. I think I actually got the chocolatey aspect this time, although it was pretty subtle for the most part. With the first few cups, there was something that oddly reminded me of (the scent of) coffee, yet was quite different from coffee(obviously, since I don’t like coffee, but this wasn’t negative). Then, there was something that tasted sort of like Assam does when it’s been brewed Indian style, in milk on the stove. Near the end, I tried using much less/almost no (soy)milk, and realized why it specifically said bitter choclate, as it had apparently after-brewed quite a bit and was now bitter without the milk. And with the last cup, the “coffee-like” element came back, and I realized what it was: the “roasted notes”, which are very different from those I get with some teas.

Much better than green Mate. Sort of smoky, oddly I could smell the chocolate but not taste it. Adding soy milk was a good idea, with real milk it tasted kind of odd. No rating yet, I’ll add that later(when I’ve had it again, since there were a few hours between drinking it and writing this)
