Chocolate Covered Strawberry

MMMM, I love chocolate and strawberry together. I don’t know if I prefer this or David’s Love Tea #7. They are both good, but this one has a more subtle flavour I find. I guess it would depend on what I’m in the mood for, but when it comes to dessert favours like this, I prefer it to be a little stronger.

I made this up this morning for a nice caffeine boost during my classes. I’m mostly just logging that I drank this, as I was paying more attention to my notes on resistors and capacitors than the taste. However, I do remember that it was sweet, and a little tart and juicy. I can’t say much about it, but I do know it was good.

Studyyyyyyyy timeeeeeeeeeee!
Since stats aren’t fun, I’m having this to help make it better. Chocolate covered strawberry just sounds like a winner right now.

Dry tea smells chocolatey, with a fruity, berryish smell. Can’t really tell it’s strawberry, although the strawberry emerged right after I poured water over the leaves. Smells yummy!
I’m getting a lot of strawberry from this, the chocolate however is mostly smells.
This tea totally changed my mind about teas with strawberries. I used to hate them so much (although I can’t remember why), but with this tea, the strawberries aren’t overpoweringly sweet or tart, but a combination in between. Which is great!

This is my first Della Terra tea, and I’m looking forward to trying some of their other flavors :)

Mmm tasty. I should have tasted this one yesterday on Valentine’s day! It would have been perfect!

With great dread I dipped back into my Della Terra order. This order was supposed to expose me to a lot of flavored blacks with the hope of finding something I liked. Thus far it’s been a failure sadly.

Smell? Chocolate and strawberries! It’s smells GOOD! I sorta want to lick the packaging…

Taste? sigh disappointment for this non-black tea guy. The black base still ruins the enjoyment for me. This is not DT’s fault…it’s a “me” thing. I’m finding I just don’t enjoy any black teas or blends. Also the strawberry is extremely strong in my cup. I love strawberry but this might even be too much.

Thank you again to T.C. for this sample! The flavors are pretty balanced between the chocolate and strawberry. That said, this one was just alright. I think if it had a more pronounced chocolate flavor, I would have enjoyed this more. It was nice to try, but I don’t think I’ll be buying this one.

Last of the teas from the chocolate try me pack.. Well, I guess there is one more, but I can’t drink it because of the peppermint. Gave it to my fiance who took it iced to work, so maybe I’ll have him review that one later.

Anyway, back to THIS tea. I taste the chocolate and the strawberry flavors ALMOST equally. To me the strawberry comes through a little bit stronger than the chocolate. There is a nice tartness to the strawberry flavor. But I wish both of these flavors were stronger.. especially the chocolate.

Smelling this dry, I get the chocolate and the strawberry, which smell very nice, but not much of the tea base. The wet leaves have a stronger smell of black tea as well as the chocolate and strawberry being a bit more subtle, but they aren’t mixing well in the smell, if that makes any sense.

Drinking this, I can taste the strawberry strongly upfront but not really any chocolate at all. It definitely tastes good, but more as a strawberry tea than a chocolate covered strawberry tea. I can taste the black base alright, not too strong, not too weak, definitely not bitter or astringent. I did add sweetener.

Overall a nice tea but I’m looking for more of a chocolate flavour than this. The rest of my sample is going in the swap pile.

mmmm… strawberry… chocolate… what more could you want? This is a seriously delicious dessert tea – the strawberry taste is delicious and best of all, it actually tastes natural! Yum! I’ve definitely been reaching for this the last couple of nights when I’ve been craving something sweet.

This tea was good, but I wasn’t blown away by it. When I drank it straight, I couldn’t really taste the strawberry. I found the tea quite sweet on its own, but I needed to add sugar to bring out the strawberry taste. That made the tea almost too sweet for me. I will drink this again, but I’m a little disappointed compared to DT’s Classic Apple Pie.
