This smells wonderful, just like Deb’s other orange blends. I tried to get each of the ingredients when I steeped this (dark chocolate, orange, rooibos base etc.)
This produces an oily sheen, which is to be expected since this contains chocolate, but it is not an unpleasant mouthfeel.
This mostly tastes like red rooibos tea with a hint of orange. I wish the chocolate note was stronger.
I do not think I will repurchase this.
Flavors: Dark Chocolate, Orange, Orange Zest
Hello everyone!
So, how did I get into tea? I think I have always had a fascination with tea. But I really got obsessed with it after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved how Uncle Iroh used tea as a way to both practice self-care and connect with others.
I aspire to do the same through my tea endeavours.
My Favourite Canadian Small Tea Businesses: (Thus far! As I explore new tea brands, I am sure this list will grow)
Dessert by Deb
The Tea Haus
The Chai Brewing Company
My Preferred Preparation:
For black teas, I prefer the stove-top method with milk and sugar. For all other teas and herbal infusions, I usually prefer having them hot without any add-ins. However, I do like an occasional iced tea! Especially for some fruity or floral blends.
My Tea Preferences:
I enjoy flavoured teas more than straight teas; however, I do have a soft spot for traditional green or oolong teas.
