I got this during the recent reblend in February. I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing one. There are tons of large, whole chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and tiny cocoa bits mixed amongst the dry leaf. Ahhh!! So excited!
The dry leaf aroma is cocoa. The brewed tea aroma is…black tea. I took a sip and it surprisingly just tastes like a sweet black tea with a non-descript base. It’s not malty or assertive. It’s yummy. But it’s very plain. I’m not getting chocolate or peanut butter. :(
Okay, so maybe it does taste like chocolate. And I did pretty much chug it down. It’s delicious! Just not chocolate peanut butter cups. I made this on another occasion and steeped it for 3 minutes instead of 2.5. It was much better and much chocolatier this way. Still no peanut butter though.
Oh well. I guess I won’t be getting peanut butter from this or the Peanut Butter Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha. That’s really a shame. Peanut butter tea just sounds amazing, but alas, I’m still on the search for it. This is a good chocolate tea though. Very enjoyable if that’s all you expect from it. Since I expected more, I’m going to dock it a few points.
I want to know what other reviewers are doing to make this an excellent, almost 100-ranking tea in their minds. This tea was the one that I’d waited for, salivated after, hoped for more than anything to get re-blended, and I ordered a variation of it in my own special sauce option in the Kickstarter project.
Why do I love these flavors so much? Chocolate Peanut Butter Haagen Daaz is my nemesis. If anything tears me away from eating well and taking care of myself, it’s usually that, and I actually had some last night because, well, I caved. So if I can somehow find this same fix in tea form? Sheer bliss! Having said that, I’ve yet to get anything tea-related with a good peanut butter flavoring to it, so…here’s to hoping.
This tea has the same weird smell that the other peanut butter flavors have in Frank’s blends, and it reminds me a bit of the Maple Bacon smell, but much less offensive. Drinking it hot, I definitely got chocolate out of it at the end of the sip, some peanut-like flavor and that was it. Cooled, it’s a bit more chocolate tasting, with some peanut dryness in there while still avoiding any astringency.
Do I like it? Sure. Do I love it? No. It’s missing a creaminess and sweetness that I associate with chocolate peanut butter cups – that cloying icing sugar dryness from the filling (which, if you make it at home? it’s just icing sugar and peanut butter mixed together). I’m not sure I’d even know if this was a peanut butter cup tea if I was just handed it, although it is yummy and I’ll definitely enjoy sipping it down.
That’s a little frustrating.
Also, now I’m on a mission to track down some Chocolate Peanut Butter Häagen Dazs next week…
They have them in bars here (three to a package) and I find them much easier to eat, and therefore parse out in smaller doses of sugary goodness. :)
Yeah, I’ll have to look for them in the US next week – definitely not a flavour available in most of Europe. Possibly the UK. Possibly.
You liked it more than I did. :-)
