Oh My Edward! - Vampire Brew

The Blood orange was pretty loud today but I could still smell and taste a nice chocolate underneath. The rum wasn’t as noticeable but overall this was a very different yet tasty tea. I think I like it a bit more cold over the hot version…another goodie!

Thank you to Rachel for sending me a sampling of this to try.

I am not a Twilight fan. I think that Robert Pattinson made a better looking wizard than he does a vampire. And… if I were a Twilight fan I think I’d probably be on team Jacob. but… that being said, I AM a fan of Rachel’s tea blends!

The aroma of this tea is very intriguing. I can smell the orange, the chocolate and the rum. The orange flavor is very well pronounced here, sweet and juicy. The chocolate is yummy, and the rum seems to bring out both the flavors of the orange and chocolate very well… it’s a great accent to this blend.

I like it. Go Team Rachel!

Thanks Rachel for sending me so many wonderful teas. I am finally getting back around to trying more of them. The name of this made me grab it tonight. I’ve been watching Vampire Diaries season 1 all day and thought this would be a good way to enjoy the show.

The blood orange in this scared me a bit, but it plays a small part in the flavor of this blend. The CHOCOLATE is the biggest part I taste. Mmmmm chocolate. There is just a bit of rum goodness in the background.

Another winner from Rachel!

So I was really scared to try because I don’t like chocolate flavored teas and I don’t like the combination of oranges and chocolate, but I was in the mood for something weird tonight so I figured I would give it a shot!!!

The dry leaves are very pretty lots of chunks of fruit and such. When the tea is steeping it smells very much of chocolate with a hint of orange. The tea itself was a very bright orangey color.

I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of this tea. It has a tart orange flavor with an aftertaste of chocolate. I made a pot of this and ended up enjoying 3 small cups and putting the rest of the pot in the fridge to try this tea iced. I don’t think I can do this tea all the time but it was perfect for my current mood!!!

Backlogging I got some of this from TeaEqualsBliss thank you very much. I mostly taste orange and tartness with abit of chocolate and black tea. This is good tea, but abit more tart then I prefer and of course more chocolate would be nice to.
