I met up with a friend at T-Buds yesterday and had a super tasty chipotle chocolate sauce wrap. SO good.
This tea was the recommended pairing. I don’t know why… there wasn’t enough contrast and it all sorta blended together. Also, the tea turned out bitter for some reason? Milk and sugar helped, but I found it to be an average chocolate puerh. I’ve had about six different varieties from random places and the only one I find unique enough to have again is Teaopia’s chocolate orange and Spice exchange’s Strawberry chocolate. I guess it only works when coupled with a fruit AND chocolate? Hmmm.
Anyhow, as the tea cooled, the bitterness calmed down somewhat. I could see how a coffee lover would like it.
NB: to their credit, the girl didn’t charge me for the tea! after I mentioned that it was bitter, she insisted. I gave her a generous tip but still… I feel badly about it! anyhow, based on this experience, I highly recommend T-buds.

I think they need advice on tea pairings!
They should just ask Bonnie!!!
Ah that was nice of you! ….But yes, too close and it can fall flat! Sometimes with a super spicy dish though you have to go all the way with a ginger or chai tea (cold even!)
LOL see Bonnie, you know things!! I should have asked myself… WWBD!
Isn’t a ‘chocolate sauce’ in a wrap/burrito generally called a mole’?
WWBD! I’ll make bracelets for us all!
Kashyap, yes!! I couldn’t remember the name and forgot to look it up. thanks for the reminder!
