Last but certainly not least from my vacation/garden themed “Teas I Drink In A Day” roundup earlier this week…
I picked this up while here on vacation, at the same time I restocked my Nights In Paris from Cuppa’T. I didn’t initially plan on getting anything else, but last minute curiosity got the better of me. More for the hazelnut in the blend than the chocolate. I’m practically a broken record at this point, but I don’t love chocolate teas.
I found both chocolate and hazelnut notes to be really rich and well defined in this cup, but overall the blend was actually a little too sweet for me. Almost cloyingly so. Less steep time or, perhaps, some milk would probably help course correct and the cup would be a much more perfect balance of decadent chocolate and creamy hazelnut. Definitely seems like there’s promise here, for sure!
