Additional notes: Had a hankering for this one yesterday. Thanks so much to Star Fevre for sending me some a while back! All the variations of this tea I’ve tried have always been so light, mostly in the black tea base, but whatever chocolate and strawberry is present is accurate to the name, just on the lighter side. It’s a little strawberry and a little chocolate, so I’m happy with it. I think it tasted like this when I had my fresh sample back in the day.

Which do you like better? This one or the Framboise chocolat (Lupcia)? ^^

It’s so funny you ask… this morning I woke up thinking of pu-erh, then of the Lupicia Framboise chocolat, but then I remembered I just had a Strawberry chocolate tea yesterday. My favorite would definitely be the Lupicia – just for it’s depth and darkness… but that’s a little unfair comparing a black tea to a puerh. BUT, the black tea in the DT blend is just. so. light.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
