The 2016 ChocoBar Black Tea is a 100g brick, with a shape that is easily breakable for convenient brewing.
The brick is made of a blend of Yunnan large leaf varietal black tea that was sun dried. It can be aged or brewed immediately. This tea has an airy fragrance, with fruity notes and a smooth texture.
The smell of the brick is beautiful. Gives me strong hints of strawberry. Brewed this gongfu style starting at 30 secs and adding 15-30 each steep.
1st & 2nd Steep: These steeps give a smooth feel with no astringency at all. The flavors remind me of vanilla and berries.
3rd & 4th Steep: The vanilla becomes toned down a bit and a more floral taste appears. Still super smooth.
5th Steep & beyond: Floral taste gets stronger but the sweetness stays around somewhat. A slight astringency sets in as you get deeper.
This is absolutely one of my favorite teas and I can’t recommend it enough.
Flavors: Floral, Smooth, Strawberry, Vanilla
The squares in this brick are pretty big, considering it is a 100g brick and only 9 squares.
Chocobrick black was easy to break. The notes are mineral, malt, bittersweet chocolate, sweet, and bit of a brisk quality to it. I got 9 infusions, with the final ones being quite dry and bitter. Overall, a pretty good daily drinker.

Was it hard to break? I am going to order this but I do not have all these fancy pu-erh needles and trays so if it is a toughie I would rather pass.
It was very difficult to break for me. Had to pull out some knives from the kitchen. In my opinion its so good I will be getting some needles and tools.
OK, thank you, something to think about. Especially since it is priced so reasonably.
