Its aight…is what I’d say about this tea. Smells exactly like white chocolate and peppermint. Taste-wise, the peppermint definitely comes through a lot, with a background of herbs.

One sip of this, even though I concentrated it by using only half cup of water, it felt like the flavour was lacking so immediately sought to salvage it with some heated milk. As a tea latte, its much better, the milk helping to bring out the chocolate flavours, as well as mute down the dominance of peppermint.

I’m really tempted to add in some hot chocolate powder…but then that probably defeats the purpose of drinking a tea then :P

I totally added cocoa powder to a disappointing cup earlier, to make it more enjoyable.

finding myself in hot water again and again…

I grew up in a tea drinking culture, but my parents were seriously hung up on jasmine tea and oolong tea, so I never really had much exposure to other teas. My horizons expanded when I moved to Japan and discovered genmaicha (roasted rice tea aka popcorn tea). after that, I discovered black teas, red teas, and flavoured teas, how different teas could be by the region, processing methods, water used.

Now I can’t get enough of it!

I experiment with different teas, blending them sometimes to see what the outcome would be. I find my tastes to be quite diverse, but run away from the more floral side of things. Tie Kwan Yin is probably the only one that most people seem to enjoy, that I don’t. Otherwise I am game for most teas. Fruity? love it. Smoky? Mmm. Earthy? bring it on! Light and vegetal? keep pouring!
