DISCONTINUED
Everyone’s favorite blend of chocolate and strawberries with a kick. This modern take on the ancient tradition of blending chili peppers with cacao stands the test of time. A spicy refreshment any time of day.
How to Prepare
Use 1.5 teaspoons of tea per 8oz of water. Heat water to 208 degrees and steep tea for 5-6 minutes. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.
Ingredients:
Crushed cocoa, apple, strawberry, chocolate pieces, safflowers and crushed red chili pods.
It’s alright. The first few times I drank it, I enjoyed it. But I got tired of it quickly. There seems to be that the “spice” overpowered both the chocolate and strawberry. I was really hoping for a balance. I wonder if it would be better to add a splash of cream or something. I don’t know. I ended up having to throw it out after it sat on my shelf for 4 years.
I want to love this tea. On paper it sounds like I would. On paper, it is perfect. In execution? Not so much. This certainly does taste like hot chocolate made with water, that said, made with too much water. It’s such a shame because it smells DIVINE. I’m trying to figure out whether it’s best to just exchange the tea for something I know I like or to find another use for it. I’ll probably end up doing the former.
Sooo disappointed! One of my favorite comfort drinks growing up was mexican cocoa and I was hoping this would be reminiscent of that. I think Teavana missed the mark with this tea big time. The smell is ok, it smells like chocolate covered raisins so a bit cloying but the taste is totally different. I tried this tea first by itself with no sweetener of any kind and frankly it tasted like dirty water with a dash of powdered hot chocolate mixed in. I think the biggest turn off was how oily this tea is; it seriously had a film of oil at the top! I did try this tea a second time doing half Azteca Fire and half Java Vana Mate and it was better but still not something I would ever crave. Will not be buying again.
I would have to say this tea is very dull, no taste to it.
For me it is just hot water Im drinking, you have to use a LOT!!! to get something out of it, no chocolate, no pepper, NOTHING…… so don´t spend your money on it.
It really tastes like warm maple syrup, without the pancakes… :-(
