I’ve had this many times before, but I’m not sure if I’ve logged it here. Since that first sip, this tea has become one I turn to often. The aroma pulls you in as soon as you open the bag. It’s chocolate, there’s no doubt, but also something else. Something more specific. It took me a few minutes to figure it out, but this is undoubtedly the same flavor I get from a Hershey’s favorite. It’s not just dark chocolate or milk chocolate, but chocolate syrup. What a treat! I added cream and it’s almost like deep, dark warm chocolate milk.
I’m thinking this morning about a home office, a dreamy space where I can find a little more creativity and light. We’ve been planning on redoing the guest bedroom (which is currently bubble gum pink thanks to the last owner’s young daughter) and I have so many ideas. We want to keep it comfortable for our guests, but I also want to make it a room where I can go for a little quiet time. My husband has his gaming room and I would like to have a space for myself as well. I’m currently camped out at the kitchen table with my laptop and while it does have a great view into our backyard, I would love to have a room all my own. It’s not about closing myself off or being alone, but more about being able to spread out and surround myself with things that inspire me. I’m looking for inspiration everywhere these days it seems.
Second Steep
8 ounces water + 205 degrees + 20 minutes
Oops, I got a little distracted and left this one to steep for twenty minutes. It didn’t seem to do the tea any harm though because it tastes exactly like the first cup. Creamy, smooth, and chocolaty.
Flavors: Chocolate, Dark Bittersweet
