Sipping down a small sample bag I got of this blend. It’s okay as far as H&S teas go. I get citrus and spice on the sip, chocolate notes in the middle of the sip and a hint of chocolate almond in the finish. It sounds like it should taste good and be right up my alley, but it’s not. I think it’s the weird chocolate flavoring that H&S uses that tastes like the smell of a chocolate scratch and sniff sticker. The balance of the tea is weird. It’s all high note in the sip and low notes in the finish, but they take turns instead of blending into one like my favorite teas do. There is also this weird tickle in the back of my throat that is building, which I blame on the chocolate flavoring. Dumping the rest of this cup and celebrating it being gone from my life.

Editing to add that my original review of this tea came up after I posted this and I had the exact same feelings and comparisons as last time AND I had promised myself and failed that it was going into the get rid of bin. Whoops. Should have done that straight off!
