Passage

Has this the other night while a bunch of us were on Facebook egging each other on to make an order. It’s nice. The chocolate is a good chocolate, but what really made it for me was the sweet and nutty flavours.

This is, however, nothing like Chaud les Marrons! from Lupicia. Which is sad.

But I still bough some of this because it’s unlike anything else I have at home, and I happily drank the whole mug, and then uhh, a tea friend whose steepster name I forget came over and had the second steeping, and then we tried Leatherbound.

It was a good evening. :)

OMG!!!!! This is the most amazing chocolate nut tea. WOW!!! Fantastic. It’s chocolate chestnut and just screams hot chocolate by the fire. Mmmmmmmmmm
I don’t have much more to say – other than 200g of this is in a shopping cart right now. Sooooo gooood.
Thank you Sil for sharing.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I’m super excited because my mom got me a bunch of teas from August Uncommon Tea for Christmas! I’ve been wanting to try these for a while. First to test is this one, because it just sounds so good! Not disappointed by this at all (which is good, because I don’t know what I would do with 100g of a tea I don’t like—it takes me a while to get through 100g of teas I love!). It tastes very similar to a Kinder Bueno chocolate bar, which creamy hazelnut and milk chocolate notes. I’m excited to give this another go, because I had it right after having some pretty intensely garlicky dip at a Christmas party (I was so eager to try the tea that I ended up bringing it with me XD ), which may have hindered the experience slightly, but so far, so good!

I received a few cups of this from Queen of Tarts in her stash sale. Thank you!

OMG yum! This taste like I am drinking a fancy pants hot chocolate. Creamy, marshmellowy, milk chocolate, with slight taste of burnt sugar. It also reminds me of eating s’mores. Yummy! So I might just have to put in an order for other samples:)

so fantastically happy that i picked up more of this over the weekend. I love this tea. Chestnut chocolate – reminds me of Paris. love.

Reordered a larger amount of this tea a while back and I’m just getting around to brewing it again. Rich, earthy cocoa flavors dominate – almost like drinking a hot chocolate/tea hybrid – so delicious! This was one of their fall 2014 teas, and I am so glad I reordered – it’s still fantastic. I usually enjoy drinking teas in the appropriate season, so it’s strange that I don’t mind drinking this one now that it’s spring, but I guess that’s the chocolate fiend in me! I didn’t even add any milk to it, and both infusions were great. This one is such a winner!
