From Bush Berry (formerly New Moon Tea Co.)

Mint Cocoa is one of those specific cravings you just can’t get met anywhere else. It makes this seasonal mix of raw cocoa stirred in with fresh mints and subtle black tea one of our holiday collection cornerstones.

Ingredients: Black Tea, Spearmint, Peppermint, Raw Cocoa Nibs

Sipdown! (3 | 3)

Interesting, apparently I’ve never written a note for this? It’s not my favorite, but I’m liking it more than I remember. I’m not sure the black tea is really adding anything, as I’m mostly tasting the herbaceous (but not wet raggy, thankfully) peppermint, the refreshing and bright spearmint, and the lightly toasty, creamy cacao. I think the blend of mints here is quite nice, as it combines the strengths of both and is refreshing without tasting like chewing gum.

Nice enough tea, especially for a chocolate mint blend, which are usually underwhelming to me. I do think you could remove the black tea and not notice much difference though.

I don’t remember why I looked at their website the other day, but that was when I saw the branding change!

Holy mint madness! Would have enjoyed more cocoa and tea flavour to balance. Sometimes mix with additional black tea which is nice, not great without milk.

I have been drinking this tea for years (since October 2017) and had no idea I didn’t add it to the database!

I discovered this years ago from an Etsy shop that I’ve continued ordering from ever since then. It’s even one of the few I keep at work (well, kept, when we went into the office, pre-COVID). This one is a seasonal blend of theirs, and I make sure to order a ridiculous amount every holiday season to last me through the year.

I steeped this to boost my motivation for the afternoon after not sleeping that well last night. My energy started to wane around noon, so this tea was a great pick-me-up — black tea with cacao nibs and peppermint.

I’ll have to try it – I have their Apple Cinnamon (chamomile) and Honeybush Cider and enjoy both them.

Courtney

So excited to hear someone else knows about them! I also live for their Relax & Renew. I still have a couple unopened bags of this one from last year, so I’ll stock up again, but not quite as much this year. :)

I think they’re the only Etsy tea seller I’ve been happy with. Definitely remind me when you see this tea available so I don’t forget! XD

It looks like they have a website with more teas than the Etsy shop, too:

Courtney

Yes! I actually ordered off their website the last time I ordered from them (just as we went off work from COVID). The same great service as Etsy and I think cheaper shipping (or perhaps free shipping over a certain amount).

I’ll let you know! I feel like they usually come up pretty soon for the holidays. :)

Cameron B.

I just checked on a whim and the winter seasonal teas are on the website now! https://newmoonteaco.ca/collections/seasonal

Courtney

Woot! I’ll check them out!

Cameron B.

I would ask if there’s anything you want to split, but I guess since we’re in different countries that wouldn’t be cost-effective anyway. :P

Courtney

Haha! Thank you for the thought, but yes it wouldn’t be all that cost-effective. :)
