More tea cooking! This week my focus was kind of on experimentation with different tea infused chocolate things – and while I do eventually want to try to make my own tea infused chocolate bars I’m definitely not there yet – so I’m starting with chocolate coated things.
Grape skewers, to be more exact.

So DAVIDsTEA makes a white chocolate bar infused with Strawberry Colada; before I decided to use this tea as my test tea I tried it on its own first to see what I was working with. It wasn’t bad at all; very sweet, to be sure. One thing that is REALLY nails is a very vibrant, juicy strawberry flavour complete with a lot of strawberry pieces mixed into the bar itself. The coconut was also present, but not as strongly. Yup, this was the tea I wanted to test things out with!
- DT White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate 50/50 blend
- Chocolate covered green and red grapes!
- Super tasty; like a milder, creamier milk chocolate with lots of sweet strawberry taste
- And hints of coconut
- Over soft, juicy grapes
- The ‘crack’ of the chocolate as you bite into it is so satisfying
- And mixed with the pop of the grape as you bite into that, it’s the best!
I think overall the only real issue with this tasty treat is the visuals. It’s not a pure milk chocolate blend – in fact, there’s a lot of white chocolate mixed in there BUT visually it doesn’t look it at all. As well, try as I might, this has a very strong “turd on a stick” appearance. Sprinkles help deter that, but if your mind is even a little dirty you’re going to eventually wander to that place.
Still SO tasty, though!
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
