KittyLovesTea drank Chocolate Oo Strawberry Mocha by Tealux

1379 tasting notes

Thank you Sil for this sample.

This tea smells dry and cocoa like with traces of overbearingly sweet yet sour fruit scent. Looking in the ingredients I can’t actually find any fruit in the ingredients which is strange considering it says strawberry mocha in the title. Still it does have a fruit scent but resembling artificial fruit if anything.

The Oolong comes through strongly in this blend but I feel it’s just too strong. While I love smoky, dark Oolongs I feel that the sweetness from the raw scent is now lost. I can also taste a bitter coffee flavour which does not bear too well with the dark, toasty Oolong. As for the chocolate/cocoa there is perhaps a little of it present in the after taste but I’m really reaching there.

So overall this smells unbelievably sweet though somewhat artificial but it actually tastes darkly sour with at best medium roasted Oolong and at worst a cup of coffee that was made with a few dregs of Oolong in the bottom to confuse the flavours.

No thanks Tealux, this is definitely not for me.

Bio

I’m 34 years old from Leicester, England named Kayleigh.

I started off many years ago drinking herbal and fruit teas which over time peaked my interest in trying new types. Eventually I began to import and sample many different teas and cultures which I still do today. My life goal is to try as many teas and ways of having tea as possible.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I also enjoy watching Japanese Anime and horror films.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

A short list to help swapping with me easier though honestly I am not fussy and am willing to try anything. Plus the notes below are usually, sometimes I love a tea that has an ingredient I tend to dislike and other times I hate a tea that I thought I would love.

Likes: Any fruit but especially melon and orange, vanilla, all tea types (black, green, white etc), nuts (any), flowers, ginger, chai.

Dislikes: Licorice, aniseed, clove, eucalyptus, lavender.

My rating system
I have my own way of rating teas that makes each one personal. I have different categories, I rate each tea depending on what it is made of. For example: I rate green teas in a different way to black teas or herbal teas. So black, white, green, Pu Erh, Rooibos, Oolong, blends and tisanes all have their own rating system. That way I can compare them with other teas of the same or similar type before for an adequate rating. And when I do give top marks which is very rare I am actually saying that I would love to drink that tea all day, every day if possible. It’s a tea that I would never turn down or not be in the mood for. So while I agree that no tea is 100% perfect (as nothing is) I am saying that it’s as close as it comes to it. After all, in my book the perfect teas (or close to perfect anyway) are ones that I could drink all the time. That is why you will find a high quality black or Oolong will not have as high a score as a cheap flavoured blend, they are simply not being compared in the same category.
