Oh this smells delectable. Rich, sweet, juicy – thick enough to bite into, like a flourless chocolate cake with strawberry jam, garnished with fresh chocolate dipped strawberries.
I’m often a little hesitant about teas that contain actual pieces of chocolate, since they can be hit or miss, but I found out I can buy 12g samples at DAVIDs, and oh, the smell of this! I’m having a hard time letting it cool enough to sip without burning my mouth.
And wow! The taste does not disappoint. Sweet, but not too sweet; rich, full mouth chocolate, and juicy, intense strawberry. A bit of malty black tea, a hint of floral and astringency, but mostly just rich, desserty flavours.
I’m going to finish this cup straight, because it’s pretty perfect as it is, but I also need to try this as a latte, with frothy milk and sugar, just for a thicker mouth feel and more substance.
I think this will be a regular in my cupboard, and it may just inspire me to get back to baking.
