I went in to David’s to look for a tea to give as a gift for my mom this holiday season and after catching a whiff of this from nearby where it was being weighed for someone else, I immediately turned my attention and said “I want to try THAT one.”
And try it I most certainly did. It was love at first sip. Then buy it I did.
How do I explain this tea? My favorite thing about it is the aftertaste of each sip. My first sip was slightly too strong and the black tea taste was overpowering, but after the first two or three sips, the strawberry taste really came through. The chocolate isn’t as noticeable as I initially though, but I’ve always been kind of iffy about chocolate tea. This was perfect. The chocolate comes through after the taste of strawberry and kind of coats the tongue before you taste the roses. It’s quite rich.
As I drank this tea, I felt so enticed. This is definitely one I’d curl up with while watching Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version of course!) on a cold, winter night to spice things up. It’s a dreamy, decadent sort of tea. Definitely a winner. I’d love to try this with milk next time.
