Sipdown… errr, eatdown?? (2157)

Confession Time. I had actually completely forgotten that I added this chocolate to my Steepster cupboard, and I finished it off ages ago so I guess it’s time I write a tasting note for them. They were one of the things I got as a free sample back during Montreal Tea Festival in 2022!

It honestly took me a little while to get used to the flavour. The chocolate itself is really nice, as it has been in all of the different flavours I’ve tried through sampling. It’s more the wintergreen that throws me. It’s pretty potent and it’s also a very lovely flavour but something about the sweet and cooling nature of the mint combined with the dark chocolate just reminds me so much of mouthwash. It’s not disgusting but it is a visceral enough taste memory that it kind of screws with my brain a tiny bit.

I think that’s ultimately why it took me so long to get through the full box. It was like three months of slowly nibbling on the different tablets of chocolate. In hindsight, the slow pace was probably a good thing since this is caffeine boosted chocolate and a full box would have had me running around like a racehorse!

Would I get this one again? I don’t think so. The company is very cool and the chocolates are great, but I enjoyed several of the other flavours over this one.

Today was the second day of the online Quebec Tea Festival, but I just wasn’t feeling it. Exhausted again.

In lieu of attending the festival, I took out one of my festival sampler boxes and tried a piece of this.

Quite tasty balance of 72% organic fair trade chocolate, organic theine, and wintergreen extract.

I was quite excited about chocolate with tea being included in the box, but I didn’t know which flavour. Mint is usually my last choice, so I wouldn’t have opted for this one with wintergreen though it is delicious.

I will have no difficulty finishing this teeny box of chocolate tiles.

I had no idea there was such a festival – neat!

That chocolate sounds really good! However, I like minty things.

Ms. Strange posted about tea boxes for the festival being available in November. It was a very brief purchase window.

I posted about it in one or two tea posts a couple of weeks ago

It’s a cool way to discover local tea companies and support them. I’ll be posting more as I make my way through my boxes.

It seems they are still available if anyone is interested.
