I am once again afflicted with Sipdown Fever (brought on by an embarrassing amount of autumnal teas winging their way to me). Plus I’m determined to drink more evening teas!
So last night I had a rummage through my samples bowl, which is now so large that its become a samples pile. After sifting out the likely candidates, I settled on this one. I was feeling adventurous.
Chocolate tea, while a thing I should like, is not exactly my thing. They just never taste right to me, and I’m always disappointed. But, this is chocolate and mint, two favorite flavors in the outside world, and it was caffeine free. But it was a rooibos, a tea base that I have a hit and miss relationship with.
And you know what? After my trepidation that I wouldn’t like it at all, due to rooibos and chocolate, it wasn’t actually bad. I found it a little weak, as I often do with chocolate teas, and the rooibos was perhaps a touch too strong for the base, but it was generally pleasant.
Its the sort of thing that I don’t think I’ll order, but it was nice to try!
And, importantly, a sipdown!
