Fine black Keemun tea is blended with pieces of rich dark chocolate for an extremely flavorful combination. An exquisite “dessert” tea or a delicious afternoon treat. Contains caffeine.
I love all things chocolate. I was really browsing for some spices when I noticed Black Chocolate. The aroma of the raw tea in the jar is simply scrumptious—rich, dark, and seductive. The brewed tea retains some of the chocolate aroma and flavor, but it is not nearly as rich as the raw tea suggests. It is a very pleasant, nicely smooth black tea with a subtle chocolate flavor. If it were a perfume, I’d say that it contains a woody note; it might be strange, but that’s how it feels. Bottom line, it is certainly for those who prefer their tea only mildly flavored. (I also tried it with coconut milk, which adds a touch of creamy sweetness to it.)
This is pretty… been wanting a good chocolate tea for a while but this was a little disappointing despite the rating I’m giving it. I was hoping it’d be a 90 or better… especially since it was only available in-store as a 4 oz package and know I’m kind of stuck with it. It has a slight cocoa flavor but I definitely don’t get the chocolate. IDK maybe I had high expectations… too high, but it fell short. My favorite chocolate tea is still Hot Chocolate by DAVID’s TEA.

Hello,
This is my first and long overdue first review for this website. This was the first tea I tried from the spice and tea Exchange and have fallen in LOVE with this tea. It’s the perfect combination of black tea and chocolate. I usually steep this tea for 5 minutes.
Flavors: Chocolate
This is my third attempt at trying to bring out the chocolate flavor in this tea. I was so desperate that I actually added regular milk to it and regular sugar! If I add something to tea it’s always soy milk, Stevia, honey, or half and half. So hopefully that shows you how much I wanted this tea to live up to it’s name. I’ve never been a big fan of chocolate or chocolate teas but lately have been getting more into it.
Dry leaf: The smell is so rich and luscious reminding me of a chocolate truffle. This is what made me buy this tea to begin with.
Brewed: There is no chocolate to be found. This tastes like a decent black tea with milk and sugar but is far from special. I would not buy it again. Not much else to say about this tea. It is definitely a nice tea but doesn’t have that oomph of chocolate to call it a flavored tea.
I’m starting to think that this tea would work better as chocolate potpourri than chocolate tea. I have about enough tea left for one more cup.
Flavors: Malt, Smooth
I’ve never had this specific tea, but I often find that chocolate notes come out more if you lower the water temp. If I’m trying to bring out more chocolate, caramel, or nutty notes in a flavored black tea I quite often steep them at 90-95C. Since this is a Keemun I wouldn’t go much longer than 5 minutes, but I would try lower temp and maybe a slightly longer steep. Not sure that will help you but it works for me sometimes. :)
Interesting I don’t have a thermometer unfortunately but will definitely try playing around with it at a lower temp. I have about two more cups worth.
Mmmmmmmm….
