drank Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha by Verdant Tea
193 tasting notes

Both adagio breeze and TeaTiff sent me a sample of this one. Thanks ladies!

I really wanted to try this one due to the great reviews and the prospect of a chocolate genmaicha, but it didn’t live up to expectations. It is good, but I am not getting any chocolate like I was hoping to. I am getting a very nutty, toasty black tea. It’s quite tasty, but not what I was hoping it would be. I should have waited until after I tried it to order it from Verdant, I mean that was the purpose of asking for a sample of it in 2 swaps! I just can’t help myself when it comes to online shopping, especially online shopping for tea! Oh well, I know I can get through the bag.

I have heard this comment from several people. The chocolate through me for a loop too the first time I tried it. I set this tea down, took the word chocolate out of my memory and tried it a few weeks later. Then it was love!

I didn’t drink a lot of tea growing up, just the red rose my nana would make me with about 3 teaspoons of sugar added to it. I started getting into loose leaf tea about a decade ago when I visited our local tea house and tried Rooibos for the first time, though I only drank it on occasion. I didn’t get serious about it until David’s tea came to town. I was on a diet and wanted something I could drink without sugar that had a lot of flavours to choose from.

I prefer black teas, but oolong and green come in a close second. White and guayusa are in the middle, while mate, rooibos and herbals are at the bottom of my list.

Likes: banana, jasmine, pumpkin, lychee, blueberry, chocolate
Dislikes: orange, ginger, rose, hibiscus, butterscotch, honeybush

My non-tea related interests are music, camping, poker, softball, snowboarding, biology and animals. I have 2 dogs and they are my whole life.
