Well I read Amanda’s tasting note earlier and I had this tea waiting for me to try it as well. I was going to wait a day or two as not to be persuaded by Amanda’s note but since I could not sleep at all last night and I really have little decaf selection I decided to go for it.
I agree with Amanda on one thing for sure and that is the smell. I do not care for the smell in bag or brewed. It does smell a little chocolatey though. I would love to add some sweetened condensed milk to this but have just got comfy on the sofa – laptop in lap – on top of me.
Never mind that – I had to get up for an unrelated reason so grabbed the condensed milk on the way back.
Well – its a little better now. No huge difference but better. I think it does bring out the white chocolate a lot more.
I appreciate that the flavors are not chemical though. I respect that the flavors do not drown out the flavor of the rooibos too.
I don’t care for the way it seems to dry out my throat in the back. Some teas do this to me for some reason.
To be fair, I am not a huge fan of chocolate flavored things other than chocolate itself.
The aftertaste I am getting is vanilla rather than chocolate – its a little medicinal.
This is not one I will be buying again but I will drink the rest of it when I need to stay away from caffeine.

I’m going to get chocolate syrup to see if that helps it out, but condensed milk I may have to try too.
Let me know how that works out – I am afraid all you would have is watered down chocolate after that. I don’t think that tea is strong enough or complex enough to support it. I may very well be wrong though. Curious to hear back on it!
