Omg, this is amazing. Dark chocolate, mint, vanilla, creamy, malty. So delicious. This is more chocolately than a lot of teas with chocolate chips, and no melted chocolate film on the surface of my cup. Very desserty. I must try it as a latte, too.

Thank you to Tippy’s for the sample!

I just had this one and I loved it! The chocolate is done exactly right here, and the mint was perfect too.

You know in this tea we did not add any chocolate, or chocolate flavour. The chocolate taste is from the combination of the golden monkey base and the vanilla beans. I cannot wait until I get more of this base tea back in stock so I can enjoy this tea again myself.

Really, TippysTea? That makes me more interested. (I don’t really like chocolate “flavour”.) I’ll have to put a sample of this on my list to try.

I was going to buy some of this one back when they had a sale but by the time I got a round to it, it believe it was sold out sigh I await the day that it returns, since every review has been so positive :)

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
