I wasn’t going to try this tonight after all the other chocolate teas, but curiosity got the best of me and I went for it. One more bag with caffeine at 8pm can’t backfire too badly, right? :)

There was a scent going on that I just couldn’t place. It seemed more like a caramel than a chocolate, but the taste didn’t seem like caramel to me. Having no point of reference for a digestive, it wasn’t like I could make a strong comparison. But after my partner (who, on smell and taste, also said caramel) was told the name of the tea, he suggested that it probably was more like a chocolate graham cracker.

It’s spot-on, honestly, and now I don’t even know how I was getting caramel. Weird how the power of suggestion works! And now I want a chocolate graham cracker, but I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to just enjoy the second bag of tea.

We don’t have graham crackers here in the UK so I can’t tell you if they’re similar or not, but they’re basically a buttery wholemeal biscuit. Google says they are similar, and I have used digestives in American recipes that called for graham crackers in the past, so I hope that helps!

Bio

College instructor, mom of 2, and general homebody in California.

Great at buying tea, good at drinking tea, bad at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

I aim to rate when I finish a package or a complete sipdown, except in advent season.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
