This tea is cocoa shells mixed with chai spices. The preparation instructions on this tea say to use 1-1.5 teaspoons but prepared this way, the tea is really weak… since the base is cocoa shells, it just comes off a bit watery and the flavor came off really strong on the anise, tasting like the much cheaper and more accessible Stash “Licorice Spice” teabags from the grocery store. I really needed a stronger “base” and it was pretty decent brewed with an additional plain breakfast black teabag, or a teabag of Sobacha to keep it herbal for an evening drink.

To get anything close to “dark chocolate” like the name, you need to use a lot of leaf per cup, which used up the 50g within a few servings, making it not a very economical tea. But when there is an over-abundance of cocoa shell, left to steep for a hefty time (I just leave the bag in the cup), it does get pretty chocolately and less licorice-y. The pepper is pretty strong though, which adds to that “bittersweet dark chocolate” flavor but feels like just a bit much.

A nice, rich cup is very nice, but for how impractical it is to get a good flavor it isn’t anything I would recommend or seek out again.
