Why is it the ones that smell so good seem to be the ones that lack flavor?? Maybe I shouldn’t be using the infuser with this one? Maybe it needs to be loose so I can stir that chocolate into the water and just deal with the residue at the bottom of the cup?

I’ve tried it twice, following the brewing instructions on the bag and I’m just not getting a lot of taste. Ican see and smell the chocolate. But the taste…it has a richer flavor than just boiled water but I really am not getting a distinctive flavor.

I did add a little sweetener and that finally brought our a hint of the key notes but overall disappointing.

I plan to try some of the suggestions here regarding adding milk or cream. Hopefully I’ll be back to up the score :(

Bio

Where to start? I am cuddlesmom in honor of the most amazing dachshund/terrier that ever lived (she lasted 19 years, passing away in 2015). Otherwise, I am a history teacher, wife and ardent Bond fan (Dalton being my favorite Bond on the screen).

I dabble in writing romance and suspense, (though the muse has gone on what appears to be an indefinite vacation as of late). I just finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow & have to say what a fun read that was!

As far as tea goes, I have been a dabbler for a longtime but since I recently discovered Harney & Sons in Target, I’ve gotten hooked on it. Since that first tin, I find myself more and more interested in trying new types of tea.

The Harney site, with its free shipping and samples, is a very dangerous place indeed.

As for my ratings, they are based on a standard scale: 100= Flawless perfection, 99-90= Excellent, 89-80= Above Average, 79-70= Average, 69-60= Below Average, 59-below Failing, poor tea IMO.

Irish Breakfast is my black non-flavored go to tea, raspberry has been pushed out by Harney’s Goji Fruit tea as my favorite fruit tea. I am starting to do more green teas and have just ordered my first oolong, so we will see how it goes.
