I poured in the hot water, and the whole kitchen smelled like peppermint. Mmm.
Mmm, it’s a nice minty chocolate, more mint than chocolate. It’s rather sweet and very holiday. There’s also a little tea note, though I can’t pick out what sort of tea with the other flavors. I know it’s pu-erh from the ingredient list.
This is really almost a perfect chocolate minty tea. I’m going to try adding some cocoa powder to the infuser on my second steep, as I often do with chocolate teas to make them more to my taste.

It is gooood with the extra chocolate, though the whole flavor has diminished thanks to it being a second steep. Next time I’ll add chocolate for the first steep, as I have another sample bag.
By itself, I think it tastes like York Peppermint Patties. Chocolate in teas is typically a more subdued note, and sometimes those notes come from the tea leaves themselves, too (many Chinese blacks have cocoa notes to them). I think latte style with chocolate almond milk would be better than just throwing cocoa powder in though to get moar chocolate since then it would be creamy and thick, myself.
