This is the first I tried from my swap with TerriHarpLady. And there was a lot to choose from! Black tea wonderland! I chose this as I definitely needed a caffeine boost. The cup brewed up super dark and I could smell the chocolate and it definitely tasted a lot more more chocolaty than I expected. The puerh mellows out the chocolate a bit without overwhelming it. Overall I liked it. I liked the second steep better as the chocolate was a little milder. I think I’ll make a latte the next time I make this. I think steamed milk would make this a great breakfast treat.
This is You :-D

Bio
I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.
I joined steepster in Feb 2013 and it’s crazy how much my tastes have changed since joining. Before, I liked cream and honey in all teas and loved mostly dessert blacks. Now I almost rarely drink them, but enjoy them from time to time. What I love more than anything are straight rich black teas, Fujian, Laoshan, Rizhao, etc… I also love pretty much any black tea that the little leaf hoppers have gotten their teeth on.
I’m still not too into the green/white/oolong varieties. I keep trying to but my tastes are evolving pretty slowly on that front.
Overall, I just enjoy tea. Something about it that just settles me.

Last time I drank this, I thought I had accidentally put the Chocolate “O” in the wrong tin, LOL. I hadn’t, but there for a minute I was confused. I really enjoy this one, & when I get more of the Chocolate “O”, I’ll send you a sample of it too. :D
