From August Uncommon Tea

Rich black tea with hazelnut and chocolate

Early morning in Paris rewards you with rich aromas from winding cobblestone streets. A steamy gust of croissants and sugared brioche hits your nose. Moments later, you smell molten chocolate from the chocolatier being dripped into fantastical shapes. The dense, chocolaty flavor of this tea will engulf your senses. Another sip brings a thick blast of roasting nuts. Milk takes this tea into decadent territory. Prepare for a luxurious breakfast experience.

INGREDIENTS: black tea, cocoa husk, hazelnut brittle pieces, cocoa beans, flavoring

CONTAINS NUTS

TASTES LIKE: nutella, french chocolate, roasted chestnuts, dark rum
FEELS LIKE: secret pleasures from the streets of paris

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. :)

Hey! I have that Lupicia one! Yesssss.

OMGsrsly

The Lupicia one is the BEST. But it hasn’t been on their website in ages. :(

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.

Sil

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!

Flavors: Chocolate, Creamy, Hazelnut

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:)

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!

sren

I am bummed to have missed the sample sizes for fall! Have you tried any of the spring/summer blends?

Sakura Sushi

I haven’t, although I was very interested when I found out about them. Right now I feel like I don’t necessarily have to have any of the new blends and I’ve got so much tea to get through, I’m trying to be good. I’ll probably change my mind when it’s too late! ;)

sren

I had the same thought process around the new blends, though they’re probably all good. So much else to drink first :)
