Compagnie & Co Day 13
It’s nice to see another holiday tea! Chocolate, orange, and spices are a suitably festive combination. I steeped the 2 g sachet in 250 ml of 190F water for 3, 5, and 7 minutes.
The dry aroma is of orange, chocolate, cardamon, and other spices. The first steep presents a pleasant mix of chocolate, orange, cardamon, other spices, and faint berries. The chocolate is the most noticeable flavour and persists in the aftertaste. The second steep is consistent, with fairly realistic chocolate, orange, raspberry, and less distinct spices. In the final steep, the chocolate is less apparent, while the orange and berries provide a sweet finish.
This tea is nice and cozy, though the chocolate and spices fade before the end of the session. As with most of their other green teas, the base isn’t obtrusive. It’s a sophisticated take on a chocolate orange tea that works pretty well.
Flavors: Berries, Cardamom, Chocolate, Orange, Raspberry, Spices
