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.)

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

I often smell/taste coconut from many teas using vanilla/cream/cake flavorings!
Agreed Snowballs usually refer to coconut
Oh, I hope this one is in my advent!
I never even thought about coconut=snowballs!

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