I would never make it as a tea sommelier: my ingredient accuracy is about 22%. I was sure I was getting coconut out of this one, and there’s nary a shred in this blend. Chocolate, mint, and blueberries …. who’da thunk it? Very cheerful and tasty. (I needed the cheerful this afternoon.)

Hahah! I love it!

To be fair, any dessert with “snowball” in the name definitely has either a coconut or powdered sugar connotation here in the US! :P

I often smell/taste coconut from many teas using vanilla/cream/cake flavorings!

Lexie Aleah

Agreed Snowballs usually refer to coconut

ashmanra

Oh, I hope this one is in my advent!

Nichole/CuppaGeek

I never even thought about coconut=snowballs!

Takes me back to those PINK marshmallow-covered chocolate cupcake things from when I am a kid. Memory is failing me (seriously, come see me in the Alzheimer’s unit…I’m about a week away) but I would almost swear they called those “chocolate snowballs,” pink notwithstanding.

tea-sipper

YES gmathis… anything “snowball” food related would be those for me.

ashmanra

Yes! We bought the pink ones when I was growing up! It was the only coconut item I ate back then!

I think they were called Hostess Snowballs. They started making them in white at Christmas and I think pastels near Easter.
