Read My Lips

This smells like After Eights’ and is one of DT’s finest works of art a staple for any connoisseur of dessert teas or people who just have good taste!

It’s certainly a staple in my black tea collection.Not an everyday tea but there must always be some in my cupboard or I am heartbroken.

Great for winter and chocolate cravings.

It’s sexy and minty sweet.One sip is all it takes to melt away the blues.

Can’t believe I’ve waited this long to sing it’s sweet praises.

This is, as they say in the description, the best chocolate/desert tea.
It tastes just like after eight chocolates. The perfect blend of chocolate and mint- one of my favorite combos! It just- is great!
Its a very dark warm wintery tea. I have only had it hot and am scared to try it iced as it may not taste good. I have just run out!!!! Yikes- like I said in my last note, I do not usually re-purchase, but I will be with this one. Maybe not right away, I will probably buy it during the winter colder season.

Wowzer, this is perfection in a cup! I woke up this morning and was craving something sweet and I have been saving this tea just for that moment. I opened up the pouch and it smells just like a york peppermint pattie, I love those things! The tea is so pretty and I love the little mint lips, I am such a sucker for unique items in my tea.

After the steep the color was a very nice orangey orange color. The smell was bit more faint and you can smell the black tea after the brew. First sip mmmmmm!

This tea is sweet, the blend of vanilla and mint and hints of chocolate is so good. It really tastes like a peppermint patty, maybe just a bit sweeter but wow what a fatastic dessert tea. I loved how fresh my mouth felt after drinking this tea, just perfect! I will definetely have to buy more of this!

Full disclosure: I probably didn’t put enough tea in, quite a lot of it escaped my steeping ball, and I was distracted, so didn’t get to the tea until it was very much too cold.
BUT:
The smell of this tea is otherworldly. It’s like I’m in a beautiful dream where everything is made of ice cream. There’s the SLIGHTEST black tea tinge to it, but it’s mostly: chocolate, chocolate, chocolate; mint, mint, mint. Not that I’m complaining. This is a lovely situation! The tea itself looks a little weak, and the chocolate chips leave a rather unsightly brown ring around my coffee cup. But, again, it’s not THAT big a deal. It’s the kind of ring I’d stick my tongue into my mug for when nobody was looking, and lick it off. Because you KNOW that it’s chocolate.
I suppose I was whelmed by the flavour. I’d wanted a bit more knock-your-socks-off mintiness. And I could barely taste tea at all.
Milk and sugar as usual.
I’ll try it again when I can focus on it.
I can see this tea being brilliant on Christmas morning (maybe with a splish of some minty alcohol) and in the days leading up to Christmas, but — like Starbucks’ Peppermint Mocha — I can see it getting old once the red and green and gold of Christmas have faded into the blue and white and grey of late winter.
Maybe it would be good as an iced milky summer treat, though. As a milky ice-pop, perhaps?
We’ll see.

I admit, I was a little hesitant about this intially — Peppercorns? With chocolate and mint? But I am always willing to try something once!
I actually really enjoy this tea. I find chocolate teas usually fall short of expectation, but this one has a full body flavor with a sweet mint finish. The aroma of the tea leaves seem sweet, but the steeped leaves more accurately reflects the minty flavor. There does seem to be a slight film that collects on the top when the tea begins to cool, but it doesn’t affect the flavor.
Plus the minature lip candies are cute!

I’m resigned to this tea. There’s nothing wrong with it, the blend is balanced, now that I’m over the initial shock I can see what other people like about it. But there is candy in this tea — a LOT of candy — and I’m just not a candy tea person. There’s so much nonsense in this tea that there’s hardly room for the tea leaves, though I guess that’s not a total negative. It’s a black tea that I’m safely drinking at midnight, because not much leaf means not much caffeine.

Day 19 of the 24 Days of Tea

It’s a good thing black teas are my favourite, because they’re dominating this calendar

At first sniff: Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Then the peppermint comes in. It smells kind of like the same chocolate as Chocolate Chili Chai. Like the same…. the exact same… minus the mint. The mix is cute with the sprinkles too.

At first steep: I still smell the chocolate, however taste the mint. It is also the last note in my mouth. That cool peppermint taste. I can smell it right now sitting next to me. The chocolate smell is strong. I added some cream and stevia to it, but it’s weak. I even over steeped it on purpose to try and bring out the tea.

I will give a word of advice. If you want to formulate a real opinion on the DT line, get the 24 days of tea made up for you, or go there and get random 10g samples made for you that you have to drink for 24 days straight. It’s really eye-opening how your ideas on a tea company change when you’re constantly drinking different blends of their tea and not the ones you gravitate to.

I picked up a cup of this to go for a friend one day along with some other teas for other friends. When I got into the car, I could smell this mouth watering sweet smell, like melting party mints (those little coloured chocolate mint rosebud things). I had to try this the next time I went in and it’s awesome! It definitely has one of the strongest flavours of all the teas I’ve tasted. My favourite David’s chocolate tea. I usually don’t like mint but I love it in this tea!

Love this tea. Minty and slightly chocolate-y, a great, light, afternoon tea. I appreciate that the chocolate notes are not as artificial tasting as other teas claiming to be “chocolate.” Quite addicting. Best taken clear.

I was so surprised by this delicious chocolate tea. Usually when things are chocolate flavored its not very good. However i was amazed that this tea was chocolate flavored but it wasn’t yucky. I love the little red lips in the mix. so cute and delicious!
