This is a lovely caffeine-free spicy infusion, but I must say I can’t detect a single hint of chocolate in there anywhere. It brews up pale golden, with a robust cinnamon aroma. The cardamom and clove round out the flavor nicely, but cinnamon predominates there as well. A nice, warming choice on a crisp autumn morning, but it’s just not a chocolate tea.
I’m a stay-at-home mom in Western MA who loves cooking, baking, gardening, reading, writing poetry, and tea!
I prefer drinking loose leaf teas for flavor and a more satisfying tea experience, but end up drinking bagged tea at least half of the time for convenience’s sake.
I like iced tea in the summer, spiced tea in the winter, and a good earl grey any time. Chocolate teas are nice, since cocoa tends to upset my tummy. I also enjoy some herbal teas, and I look forward to someday growing herbs for tea in my garden. I despise rooibos. And Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime is the only way I’ll drink chamomile.
