The last of the ‘chocolate’ themed shu puerhs I bought from W2T a couple months back. It has a very similar cover to that of Smoove Cacao, a tea with similar taste notes that I personally wasn’t a huge fan of. These ‘easy drinking’ shus tend to lack the mouthfeel and performance of more sophisticated small batch productions. With that said, I do think this is the better tea of the two; again I get the advent calendar chocolate tasting notes with some lingering minerality. The smell of the wet leaf is truly dark chocolate, and maybe some cinnamon spice akin to that of Mexican hot chocolate. Probably a bit more deserving of being a daily drinker.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Dark Chocolate, Mineral
