Mint Chocolate (Mintchoklad)

Nabo 2022 Advent Day 24: Mintchoklad

This was surprisingly tasty. I am not always a fan of mint and I find it generally overtakes most blends, but it was really well done here. The mint fell more to the background and the foreground was all liquified dark chocolate! I found the cinnamon and nutmeg added a complexity here that wasn’t immediately attributable to either spice. A really interesting a unique mint chocolate tea!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Nabo Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 24

Odd choice to save this one for the last day? When they had several other more festive teas earlier in the calendar.

I’m finding it a bit bland? I can taste some herbaceous peppermint and a touch of sweet cinnamon, and there is a bit of a milk chocolate note from the cacao. The black tea gets lost, and I don’t taste vanilla or nutmeg.

Mostly it’s just a somewhat muddled peppermint though, with some cinnamon. It needs more of something, as-is it’s just very blah.

A last from Nabo and honestly not much fan of it. At first, I generally don’t like chocolate teas as they lack in flavours. Secondly, I prefer dark chocolates and if possible, no flavours added (nuts are welcomed exception, but as a pieces, not flavouring).

Mint is a ingredient in chocolate that is very hit or miss for me.

So, I was sceptical seeing this tea (maybe it is Swedish thing though). It has got quite strong alcohol aroma.

When brewed, it wasn’t much better, however luckily it has not transferred into taste. The taste was chocolately, but a bit artificial for me and not “dark” enough. It was rather milk choco for me, and the mint was somehow strange addition there. As from spices that are in the ingredients, I don’t think that I have even noticed them.
