A HUGE thank you to Dexter3657 for very generously sending some of this along to me in a swap.
As soon as I opened the bag, I knew I was a goner. It smells like dark, expensive chocolate, the kind that’s pure cocoa. Oh. My. Goodness. Steeped, it filled my kitchen full of the same smell, and when my teenage daughter came home, she asked what I was baking. (Tea, I must add, was a disappointing answer to her).
It tastes dark, strong and bitter – but not in an astringent kind of way. Bitter as in cacao bitter, like the nibs. I want to share this with all of my tea-loving friends, and then I think.. no, I want to hoard this. Which is funny since I’m far from a hoarder, and yet this tea makes me want to keep it all to myself to enjoy. Forever. Always.
Top five teas of all time. Definitely. A great way to start murder mystery day!

Awesome, so glad that you like it. I have another in this style that you would probably also like. Remind me next time I send you tea…
I’ve been drinking this tea for 2 years with delight! One thing that I use the tea for is as a boost to other Verdant blends like the Winter Ginger Blend which hasn’t any tea, our my own creations. A little goes a long way. Resteeps well. Western brewing is the favorite style for about everyone.
I wish I’d kept the leaves to resteep it. I was just.. too tired. Definitely will become a staple in this house though. Great idea, Bonnie!
