drank Choco Chou by Camellia Sinensis
1440 tasting notes

2021 sipdown no. 9 (and just in time as teas are out for delivery today!)

I’m glad I picked up a sample of this one to try. First of all, Lexa loved it, yay!

I did enjoy this, and it certainly hits the mark of being a chocolate tea. It’s almost like drinking liquid chocolate! The only downside for me was that it was almost too sweet at times. Which was more dependent on my mood, probably. Otherwise, the base tea is smooth without astringency. And even with the sweetness, the flavour is still extremely well done and you can tell it’s a high quality product.

I am really enjoying these Camellia Sinensis teas! I would certainly order another sample size of this one to have around.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 3 g 14 OZ / 414 ML

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
