Many thanks to CrowKettle for the selection of Tippy’s Teas.
Unfortunately… yep, they’re dirt teas. With milk and the spices, it’s not so bad, but this isn’t my favourite base.
I kinda get how people taste cocoa and sweet potato, but only if the cocoa is unsweetened cocoa powder and the sweet potato is fresh from the dirt.
(Sorry, Tippy’s. It’s not you, it’s definitely me.)

Oh no, mine are waiting at the post office for me to pick up, so I hope I won’t have the same experience as you.
I’m pretty uniwue as far as I’ve seen for getting the chocolate-dirt overwhelmingness.
Unique even.
You are not alone. I also have problems with dirt flavors, which is why I haven’t explored black teas nearly as much as I have explored oolongs and greens…
But I love Assams and other black teas. And I don’t really love oolongs or greens because they tend to taste mariney. :) My tastebuds are pretty special…
Have you ever found a naturally chocolatey tea that didn’t taste like dirt to you? :)
No I haven’t, Lindsay. This “chocolate” always comes across as dirt and sometimes plain cocoa powder… which without sugar might as well be dirt.
