Last tea from this first Almost Tea box…

I’m not particularly a fan of straight chocolate teas, but this was surprised me a bit by how much the specific chocolate note appealed to me. Sort of a cross between a milk and a dark chocolate with a hint of that chocolate liqueur type of flavouring but with a slight oily/fatty quality caused from actual chocolate pieces melting down. Splitting the different worked for me; it wasn’t as fake as the liqueur flavouring is on its own but it wasn’t like drinking an oil slick either from excessive use of chocolate pieces.

The tea had great body overall, and the chocolate note was very brownie-like thanks to the sort of doughy/raw “batter” quality that it had. Not a fluffy brownie but more of a dense and highly chewy one. Slightly under baked, even. It was very familiar tasting to me, and it’s not the first blend from this box that left me with a strong sense of Deja Vu. I’ll probably be mulling over what specific chocolate tea it’s reminding me of for a while…

Would I get this again? Nope. I don’t love straight chocolate teas, as I said. But this was a nice enough one to keep me engaged throughout the entire mug of it, and I feel like that’s a pretty solid compliment to give it!

This smells deeply chocolatey and very much like a rich brownie. The flavor in the sip is a little muted and that is amplified as the cup cools, but the finish is where it is at. It tastes very heavily of chocolate and I can totally picture brownie. I’m liking this chocolate flavoring better than a lot of other tea companies attempt at chocolate. I bet this tea would taste fantastic as a latte! I might try that with my second bag.

Sipdown! (10 | 413)

Merry Christmas friends! I’ve had a holiday tea this morning, and now I’m just ready to jump back into sipdowns, so here we go!

I figured I’d get this one out of the way, since we all know it won’t be my thing ha ha… There were a lot of chocolate chips and cacao nibs in these sachets and not much tea, so I actually used a bit less water than I normally would.

Well… it’s not terrible. It’s actually not that chocolaty for a tea called double chocolate. It’s a somewhat mild chocolate note, more of a milk chocolate than a dark, and then there’s that boozy and artificial chocolate flavoring. Can’t taste a lot of black tea, but what’s there is a bit earthy.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to find it a bit bland, since a lot of the mass was chocolate chips, and those don’t really add much flavor. Meh!
