The temptation of chocolate mint without any booze or sugar. The black tea base is rich and present. Smooth and satisfying. Makes a surprisingly excellent iced tea.

I received a sample of this with a recent order and certainly was not expecting it, so thanks TeaSource! This was even one of the teas I had in my cart but weeded out at the end to only hit the free shipping threshold but not spend over that, so I was curious to try it.

I usually get the chocolate/mint combo on a rooibos base, but I’m really liking it on this black base. I gave it a pretty harty steep and it isn’t astringent at all! There is a bit of a coppery quality coming through, but mostly the flavor is very richly chocolate mint. The cocoa note is dark and smooth, with perhaps a tinge of that alcohol-quality, but not much. The mint has almost a creamy taste rather than being abrasively menthol, but it does leave a very refreshing cool aftertaste on the tongue. It’s well-balanced and tasty and I regret my decision to drop it from my cart last minute, but won’t sleep on it next time. I think this tea would make a wonderful latte, but with just a sample’s worth of leaf, that will have to remain speculation.
