drank Bolder Breakfast by The Tea Spot

Thanks again for the sample(S), Sil!

I don’t actually care for the chocolate in this. Chocolate “flavour” or “essence” just tastes off to me, and this is no exception. The base is great, though. Maybe just the base without the chocolate stuff in it? Yeah, that could be good. Or mixed with Crio Bru? Hmm…

Anyways, it’s drinkable but I definitely wouldn’t seek it out.

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 2 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

this is a tea that you need to drink relatively soon after purchase. I found that the taste just loses something the longer it sits… also, i grew less and less enamoured of it

OMGsrsly

I have a lot of problems with chocolate flavours, so I’m not surprised it didn’t work for me this time. I mean, I loved H&S Florence but even that now is just ugh.

Sil

YES! i feel you on that… florence was great…and then…it wasn’t

Dexter

That’s sad :(( I still love Florance and Soho….

OMGsrsly

I still have some Florence, and I keep trying it. But the chocolate flavour just doesn’t do it for me. Give me nibs or shells and it’s fine – just the flavour that isn’t.

Sil

i haven’t tried florence in a loooong time so it might still do it for me… but this one for sure doesn’t

Dexter

Where are you buying cacao from these days (I still haven’t been brave enough to try the last stuff I got – and I won’t order from them again so it’s really irrelevant…)

OMGsrsly

There’s Tisano, but I like Crio Bru way more than the shells. Have you tried Crio Bru yet?

Dexter

Sil – I could toss a wee little taste of Florance into your box….

Dexter

I have not tried Crio Bru – do you have a little you could toss my way? Any flavor is fine – just so that I can see what it’s like…

Sil

I can put some in to the box that i’m sending you dexter…i may have already done so…just not at home to check

OMGsrsly

We have different flavours, so I’ll send you some of mine too. :)

Dexter

Thanks guys that would be awesome. :))
