Let me start by saying that I have wanted to try this tea for a very long time. This has been saved for a ‘special’ day as a pick me up and today is the day. On Saturday my cousin Craig will be getting married to a Ms Katy Perry (no not that Katy Perry) and the day is a long affair in a very posh old style mansion. My grandad came down today from Wales and is staying with my parents for a week or so especially for Saturday. Since that leaves Saturday as completely afs (away from Steepster) and I’m working tomorrow and may have to stay late at my parents to spend time with my grandad that leaves today to try this ‘special’ tea.
I open the little tin and am greeted by an unbelievable chocolate orange scent, it is hands down the best chocolate orange tea I have had the pleasure to smell. I used to have a flavoured lip gloss that had the exact same smell…until my best friend ate it! The black tea is very light and curly in a mixture of medium and dark brown colours, it almost looks like a Darjeeling in terms of leaf shape. Mixed amongst the leaves are small pieces of orange rind and small chocolate drops. I can’t get past the smell, it’s soooo good!
The lid says 1.5 tsp in boiling water for 3 minutes. Simple enough, my husband can do that.
A few minutes later and the result is a dark brown tea liquid that is rich with notes of chocolate, malt and mellow orange.
The flavour matches it’s raw scent, it’s chocolate with orange and it’s pure ie not cocoa not synthetic chocolate but actual chocolate and to top that off it’s orange, real orange rind that is fresh and sweet. I don’t think there is a nicer combination than chocolate and orange. It also has a lingering aftertaste of marshmallow and vanilla which keeps the blend light and sweet.
I mentioned earlier that this is the best chocolate orange tea I have sniffed before, well I can add the taste to that too which makes this the best chocolate orange tea I have tried period.
These three friends just became my friend.

I keep hearing good things about this blend. Even though I’m not normally a flavored tea drinker it sounds so delicious that I’m going to have to add a sample of this to my next Butiki order :)
Soooooo good. I need to have this tonight, yes I do!
omg at your besty eating your lipgloass!
This really is a tasty chocolate orange, for sure!
Have fun at the wedding! Getting together with family for big events like that can be exciting…or insane…or a little of both! :)
