I totally had this because Amariel did. :)
I added a tiny bit of sugar and a splash of almond milk.
Sadly, I’d rather have hot chocolate. The texture just isn’t there. Maybe steeping it directly in almond milk? But that seems like so much work right now.
Smells divine, didn’t live up to the promise.

I swear there was a period of time when everyone was raving about this tea but now it is consistently being knocked for being thin/weak. I certainly agree with the latter.
I think I might use a tablespoon next time and steep longer. It is definitely thinner than hot chocolate, which can be good at times, but yeah, I understand.
I totally still drank it all. :) It is a pale imitation to hot cocoa, but it works if you don’t want anything too rich. Although I think I prefer Samovar’s Cacao Mint. Maybe I’ll have that tomorrow if my BFF isn’t planning to drop in.
I’ve learned not to want cocoa from this one, but I understand the feeling. I love the Strawberry Cream version of it for a slightly thicker feel – and I love adding 1/2 tsp. of Cacao to other teas or to resteeps.
I’m actually just steeping up 2 parts Laoshan Black, 1 part Cacao to enjoy before work. :)
@Courtney- Thank-you for that idea!
Ooo, as a mixer! I think I’ll need to do that. I gave my strawberry away to a friend already.
