Compagnie & Co Day 19
This will be my first cacao shell tea! I steeped the 2 g sachet in 250 ml of 190F water for 3, 5, and 7 minutes.
The dry aroma is of dark baking chocolate. The first steep has notes of dark chocolate and milk. The taste is a bit oily and sharp, like cheap baking chocolate. The second steep tastes more like sharp hot chocolate to me. The final steep is less sharp, and tastes like watered-down hot chocolate with milk.
I wasn’t as impressed with this tea as I expected. I’m not sure if all cacao shell teas are like this or if it would have been improved by adding milk (which I don’t particularly enjoy and am mildly intolerant to). Either way, this isn’t going on my list of teas to repurchase.
Flavors: Cacao, Dark Chocolate, Milk, Sharp, Sweet
