Strange VariaTEA TTB – Tea #13
Was very surprised to find this not in the database! I’m not the biggest chocolate tea lover generally, but I thought I would give it a try since the concept sounded so good and it’s a large bag. It smells wonderful.
Hmm, I actually like it. The beginning of the sip straight up tastes like a candy cane, or, even better, maybe like one of those peppermint pillows that melt in your mouth. I really like the balance of the peppermint leaf with the candy/flavoring, it’s cool and refreshing but doesn’t taste herbal. It’s not super chocolaty. I do get a bit of the cacao in the middle, and then it tastes like there is also chocolate flavoring at the end of the sip. Chocolate flavoring and I are not friends, but since it’s not too strong here I’m not offended by it.
I’m leaning toward keeping this one, but I need to think about it a bit more…
Result: Tried
Flavors: Artificial, Candy, Chocolate, Cocoa, Mint, Peppermint, Smooth, Sweet
I’m the opposite, I love actual chocolate things but I don’t like it in tea ha ha. Sometimes it’s okay if it’s just cacao shells/nibs.
