Dry: Pretty loose black tea blended with chocolate chips, red lip sprinkles, and a few peppercorns tossed into the mix. Smells like a mint-chocolate tea blend, delicious aroma out of the bag!
Steeped: Dark amber clear liquor with a slight film on top. Smells different than I expected straight from the tea pot, heavier on the chocolate note than anything else. Almost like hot cocoa with spices added.
Taste: I didn’t like this at first. At all. I was expecting something more mint-chocolate tea and I taste heavy chocolate at first with little else. As the tea cools a little though, it becomes much more complex with an actual tea flavor blended with the mint, peppercorns, vanilla, and sweetness from the sprinkles. I can see why people love it and I think it might make a lovely iced tea, too.
