This is a richly chocolately tea, but it is not sweet. It tastes a bit like unsweetned dark chocolate or plain cocoa. With milk it is a bit smoother but is not creamy. I would say it closely resembles a dark chocolate truffle that is a bit bittersweet.
I like it, despite hating mushrooms in all forms (no mushroom flavour at all), which is a major win for me.
Flavors: Cocoa, Dark Bittersweet, Dark Chocolate, Wood
I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).
I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)
My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
Most of these are only tiny samples/I can’t always spare any, but feel free to ask.
