Thanks to Dexter3657 for this sample!

I had this last night. I’m leaving for a business trip in a couple short days and I have been so busy and working long hours so excuse my tasting notes – they may be a bit chaotic!

Anyway, what I remember about this is it smells exactly like brownie batter which is pretty awesome, but although I steeped for nearly 30 minutes, I still had to add sweetener to get it chocolatey. It was palatable without sweetener, but nowhere near the other reviews. I also think this would benefit from over-leafing.

Also, I’m now going to just buy the 7oz bag of organic cacao husks that I find at my local super market ($12.99) or see at Home Goods ($10) every time I go. I’d like to try the flavored versions from Herbal Infusions, but this is just plain cacao husks right? This can be gotten a lot cheaper.

Preparation
3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.

Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:

Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener

Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
