From DAVIDsTEA

How it tastes
Sweet, creamy and chocolaty, with light coffee notes – like a rich mochaccino

This rich java-inspired tea is what mochaccino dreams are made of: Think cocoa beans, red peppercorns and sweet little green Christmas tree sprinkles. With lingering notes of cream, coffee and milk chocolate, it’s a well-balanced herbal blend that’ll make you wanna curl up with a frothy tea latte and let your mind wander. Dreaming of the holidays yet?

What makes it great
• We added festive little green Christmas tree sprinkles for a touch of sweetness.
• This very low-caffeine tea makes a killer holiday latte.

Ingredients
Cocoa bean, Apple, Chocolate chip (sugar, cocoa, soy lecithin), Sugar, Green tree sprinkles (sugar, rice flour, cocoa butter, potato starch, colours (riboflavin, FD&C Blue 1, Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin)), Natural (chocolate, iced coffee) flavouring, Pink peppercorn, Natural chocolate flavouring with stevia.

My struggle to find the perfect non dairy creamer is real. With the addition of Trader Joe’s coconut almond creamer, my cup of Fireside Mocha was transformed into a cup of pizza crust tea. It was the weirdest thing, clearly tasting pizza crust. I’m not even that big of a fan of pizza. I’ll eat it if I’m starving and it’s there, but I never think “What do I want for dinner tonight… I know, pizza!”. I have no idea what about the combination would do this, but I was sipping it while watching the movie Satanic Panic, which was not a documentary on the 80’s fear phenomenon like I thought and logic leads me to suspect that this tea transformation might be the work of the devil. Who else would play such a rotten trick?! Definitely satan. Cue panic!

Lots of people like oat milk the best (USA people seem to like Oatly the best). I prefer vanilla soy in tea, but it isn’t for everyone. You can sometimes find “barista blend” (usually in shelf stable tetra packs, but sometimes sold fresh and refrigerated) and those ones are thicker and creamier. I like macadamia and oat creamer a lot but if you find the Silk vanilla one that is perfect in tea.

I second the Silk Vanilla or the So Delicious Vanilla Creamer. Oatly and Califia both make good Oat Milks too.

I tried the refrigerated Oatly and it was really bland. I don’t think I’ve tried the macadamia one, but the Silk vanilla soy was too sweet and slightly plasticy, while the Silk almond creamer was sickly sweet like the flavored creamer pods at convenience stores. So Delicious vanilla coconut creamer was very sweet, but the best out of the 9 creamer line up I had going. Califa Oak creamer had a bitter finish, their Better Half coconut/almond tasted like bland almonds and their vanilla almond milk creamer was super thick and plastic tasting. They all have something in them that I’m finding takes away or alters the taste of my tea instead of enhancing it. I have a friend who loves Chobani oat milk as a creamer and I see they make creamers, but so far I’ve only been able to find seasonal flavored creamers. I feel like some picky fairy tale non dairy creamer princess!

I enjoy pizza, but pizza-crust tea doesn’t sound appealing. I can’t help you with your creamer quest since I drink my tea plain, but good luck!

Dustin

I love weird flavors, so I probably would have ordered pizza crust tea just out of curiosity, but that would be consensual pizza crust tea. This was not consensual! LOL!

This is so delicious as a hot tea latte! I would like to try it as an iced tea latte next! It was incredibly sweet, so next time I won’t sweeten it like I do most of my lattes and it will probably be just perfect then. Tastes exactly like a mocha to me with a hint of caramel flavor.

Again with all the apples…

Thankfully, the flavor of the coffee beans dominated the taste of apples. This tea reminds me of Cardamom Macchiato that was released a few months ago. They taste very similar to me. This version doesn’t have the astringency of white tea and is much sweeter on account of the chocolate chips (and all the damn apples). It was a decent cuppa. I bet it’d make a nice nighttime latte for folks who tend to avoid caffeine after noon.

(DavidsTea already recorded)

Interestingly mixed reviews on this tea, I see! I find it a nicely satisfying alternative to coffee when I’m craving that flavour. Not much left at this point, though.

For anyone interested, the ingredients are: Cocoa beans, apple, sugar, sugar sprinkles, chocolate chips, pink peppers, and natural flavoring. The first whiff of the dry tea smelled exactly like a cup of mocha…then after I kept smelling it, I picked up a funky scent I can’t put my finger on—almost a perfumey kind, like an old lotion or soap product that went off? Can’t find another way to put it.

When steeping, the richness of the cocoa / coffee combo really comes out, and it starts smelling amazing. The tea brews to a pale, murky brown.

This tea is slightly sweet, but I added a bit of sugar to it anyway. It’s actually quite tasty—definitely detecting both chocolate and coffee notes, with a hint of cream, and thankfully the apple doesn’t add any unpleasant sourness to the tea. I’m not really detecting a strong fruitiness to it either. Might even work with a dash of milk. The flavor is a bit muted though, so I definitely recommend brewing this one for 7-10 minutes.

Overall, I’m actually digging this one. Looking forward to when they list it on the website—I might buy a few ounces to curb my sugary snack cravings!

So, I caved and bought the constellation themed locktop even though I told myself I didn’t need it. I received like $80 in DAVIDsTEA gift cards this year for Christmas though, and I had them on me when I happened to see the locktop while browsing one of the downtown DT stores yesterday…

And you can’t buy a locktop and not immediately fill it with tea, right!? I got a Fireside Mocha even though I wasn’t initially a fan of it because I was told my coworkers to give it another chance – they just seemed to really want me to like it. I asked for it to be steeped in the locktop; and I didn’t realize until after I’d left the store and went to the downtown ceramic cafe for three hours that she hadn’t steeped the tea but had left the tea in the basket of the locktop – so it had been steeping for like four hours…

At first I was a little frustrated, but then I tried the tea – and let me tell you than four hours of steeping makes a world of difference in terms of flavour! Suddenly this tea felt rich and sweet, with delectable hot cocoa notes and smooth, creamy mint undertones. It was everything that I wanted to taste in this when I tried it the first time!

Now, I’m still not going to buy it because I do not have four hours to kill just for a cup of tea on a normal basis – but I’m happy I have one REALLY NICE memory of this tea to hold onto when people refer to it in the future.

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.

Were the gift cards from the company, or other people?!
