Cardamom Cacao

tasty tea from this afternoon. Pulled this one out ‘cause i figured it would be up my alley and i was right. Cacao and cardamom…and vanilla. I’d entertain more of this in my cupboard as long as i wasn’t looking for it to replace hot chocolate or something like that :) As with most cacao it’s not thick enough heh

This smelled so good and really got my hopes up because it smelled distinctly like a really good chocolate treat I’ve had before (though I couldn’t quite place what exactly). My guess is a chocolate truffle or one of the gourmet chocolate bars I’ve had in my life. It just smelled rich, chocolate-y and sophisticated…as in not your average grocery store chocolate bar.

Of course this is like every other cacao tea and always disappointing for me, even as a latte. It’s better than most I have had but cacao teas always seem like they should taste like hot chocolate to me and they are never quite thick enough. This is very rich and maybe would have been better served with a touch of sweetener and a milk with more fat than 1%. I definitely get cardamom and I get cocoa but it falls bit flat without having a sweet point. I want milk chocolate and cardamom, not cocoa powder and cardamom.
