drank JavaVana Mate by Teavana
986 tasting notes

The friend who brewed me a cup of this tea raved about how amazing it was, so my expectations were probably a bit over-inflated. Like most Teavana blends, this smells really good: a rich, chocolately aroma with a hint of coffee…the scent reminds me of a mocha! I definitely tasted both the chocolate and the coffee, but the flavor was quite a bit weaker than I was expecting and there was also a bitterness to the aftertaste that I didn’t enjoy. I would drink this again, but I definitely prefer Chocolate Rocket if I’m looking for a chocolate-flavored yerba mate!

Flavors: Bitter, Coffee, Dark Chocolate

I like Chocolate Rocket the most. I drink the JavaVana for variety or if I was a bit more of a coffee flavor but I agree… Yeah Chocolate Rocket!

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
