2 Tasting Notes

I have diabetes, so tea is my secret vice now. When I heard of a chocolate hazelnut tea with no sugar, I jumped at the chance. Decaf just means I can drink it any time of the day.
Long story short, when taken hot and freshly brewed, the chocolate taste is more of a smell than a punch. Don’t expect the taste to be anything like a choco hazelnut spread or something similar.
If you have had cocao nib tea before, you would find this very familiar. The taste is rich on the back of the tongue when hot or warm, but if left to cool, tends to taste a little oily, which borders on unpleasant if taken cold without sugar.

Flavors: Chocolate, Creamy

It smelt too suspiciously like an apple pie when I first opened the foil packs, so I was suspicious. But after brewing in a pot, I was not disappointed at all.
The apple and possibly hibiscus brings a tart and fruity flavour to the back of the tongue, while the cinnamon brings a very reminiscent scent and taste of apple pie or cinnamon pastries onto the palate. Since I brewed it in a pot, I have had it hot, lukewarm and cold. I dare say these is one of those teas that stands up to tasting across all three types of temperatures.
Faint floral notes linger behind to round off this very good tea.
