From Lupicia

THE AU CHOCOLAT is a black tea blend inspired by bitter chocolate. The tea contains cacao nibs and cocoa powder – a delicious combination which will satisfy any chocolate lover. Brew it straight for a mature taste. It is also very delicious with milk or a bit of liqueur. Recommended for anyone who appreciates a genuine chocolate flavor.

The smell of this tea is chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! Both in the dry leaf and while brewing. A lot of times teas will smell amazing and then fall short when you finally taste them. Not so with this tea! ZOMG the dark chocolate. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. The chocolate taste isn’t too weak as is normally the case and the tea has a little bit of a creamy mouthfeel to it. I decided to have this with the 4 berry nutella crepes I made this morning. Good decisions all around!

I’ve tried a lot of chocolate flavoured teas now, and I’ve yet to find one that has what I’m looking for: dark chocolate taste, with the depth of cocoa powder without bitterness or that weird alcoholic taste that seems to come with chocolate flavouring a lot of the time.

Oh wait, what am I talking about? This is it. The flavour is not oddly thick, or watery. The base is just detectable enough to be enjoyable, it does not take over. There’s a tiny bit of milk chocolate at the beginning of the sip, and it develops into dark chocolate followed by beautiful plain cocoa notes. It is not overbearing or lacking, it’s just nice.

I would love to try to mix this with one of my chocolatier plain black teas. I’m sure the end result would be gorgeous.

Sipdown!
So this was a nice tea from Lupicia, and it’s chocolate, so you would think it’d be total amazeballs, but I was sorta meh about it. I enjoyed each cup, but I’m not immediately struck by OMG, I need to buy MOAR. So strange, but there’s so much out there that’s good so I’m not fussed.

Sipdown. Not super chocolatey, but a nice black tea. Added a few pieces of rock sugar, about a teaspoon of soy vanilla creamer, and I’m good to go. Not sure I’ll restock this since I’m so wishy washy on flavored blacks these days, but definitely recommended.

I love dark chocolate, like obsessed with it. So I really wanted to try this tea and CharlotteZero was kind enough to send me a sample!

I really didn’t find that this tasted like dark chocolate. It was most definitely chocolate, just not the bittersweet, rich dark chocolate that I was hoping for. It was more like chocolate flavoured confection, you know that really cheap chocolate that has a gritty texture and kind of hurts your throat? Definitely not was I was hoping for. I’m glad I got to try this because I was going to order it.

Thanks, Sil, for this sample!

I tried this last night before going to bed. While the dry leaf smelled similar to other chocolate teas that I have found to be too “boozy” for me, the brewed cup did not remind me of a liqueur at all. There was a bitter note, but it reminded me of the bitterness of dark chocolate, and was inoffensive after the first sip. I’d burned my tongue on a latte the day before, and I was having this alongside some soy ice cream, so I’ll wait until I try this one again to rate it. I really liked what I could taste of it, though!

sipdown! haha Since my riverteas are suspiciously missing from the box of tea they sent me, I might have a hope in heck of getting through the teas to make it to 200 by the end of the weekend…as long as i get some drink on this evening. I picked this one as i was in the mood for a good cup of chocolate deliciousness. Sad to see this one go, but at the same time, there are others i will restock before this one.

Marzipan

Still waiting for my order. :(

Terri HarpLady

What, did they send you an empty box?

Sil

3/11 teas in one box…soo missing a lot

Terri HarpLady

Wow! I wonder if they are sending the others in a separate box? Although I can’t imagine why anybody would do that

Sil

yeah now sure, sent them a message to find out. Hoping it’s just a hiccup.

TheTeaFairy

Sil, same thing happened to me around december…you will probably get a second box later. they had sent 2 boxes for 13 teas but only one box showed up with 5 teas inside. I also contacted them and they told me my order was too big and had shipped in two separate boxes(??) Took almost three weeks for the other one to show up! Since I am not a fan of their teas, I never reordered, so don’t know if they still ship this way, it’s a little weird.

Sil

ah good to know teafairy. it IS a little weird, but as long as they get here, i’m good. I don’t love their teas that ave tea in them but i am a fan of their fruit teas lol and since we’re heading in to summer i thought it would be nice to have a few more “juice” teas :)

Depending on how you make this, this tea is either a very nice black tea with an aftertaste of cocoa, or it is a cup of bitter chocolate (in the good way). I think the depth of the chocolate flavor may also depend on the age of the tea. I swear it was stronger when I first opened the package, and I swear I’ve stored it properly – it even came with a tin!

Anyhow, take 2 generous teaspoons of this, steep for 3 minutes, and boom: bitter chocolate bar. If you let it go for too long, the tea itself does get bitter on top of the chocolate, which I do not recommend. A nice afternoon cup of tea, but I do wish it would keep better.
