Thanks again to the fan-tea-astic Jenn for sending me all these samples!! My gratitude is endless after having tried this one.
I made this to consume whilst cleaning house, and boy was it deeeeeelicious! Like tea and hot chocolate rolled into one, this tea is made for cocoa lovers.
With milk and a tad bit o sugar, this made my afternoon duties bearable. When will they come up with self cleaning kitchens and bathrooms???
It wasn’t as rich as I had hoped but then I somewhat expected that when the dry leaves wafted a light yet distinctly choco-note at me.
Also, I don’t know why but it tastes a hair chemically to me, but then I’ve seen that before in other chocolate scented/flavoured products. (ever tried chocolate gum? it was interesting to say the least)— not that it detracted in any way from my worshipping this cup.
I think it happened to just hit the spot, matching my tea craving so precisely that I was floored by it. Not to mention that the previous cuppa that I’d made (of an assam I got awhile back) tasted stale. Ugh!
From ugh to WOW in five min… yeah that will put anyone in shock :P

We’re still house shopping…I’m looking for a kitchen with metal grating on the floor so the gunk just falls through :)
I like the really rich choco-teas like this one with even heavier half and half or condensed milk.
LOL if you find one let me know, I might just move in beside you! :P
—ooooh that does sound good. We don’t keep either of those in the house but I could always make up an excuse to get some!!
I know the one near me has some to! I was SO excited until I realized I can’t have either of them lol (being allergic, mildly, to bergamot and jasmine!)

Yeah, I’m not overly crazy about burgamot, so I did not purchase any…
blech, it’s awful stuff.
Have you checked out Williams and Sonoma? I hear they carry Marco Polo :)
