So, I suddenly craved Earl Grey hot cocoa tonight.

I pulled out my unopened one-of-a-kind box of Douglas Adams Earl Grey by Rosie Lea Tea, a custom box I ordered through Etsy in 2019, with the quote: “A cup of tea would restore my normality.”

I decided not to review this tea quite yet, as I don’t know yet what it tastes like on its own. Also it’s a bit past the best-by date in 2020.

I microwaved some oat milk, steeped 3 grams of tea in the oat milk with my gravity steeper, then poured it into a blender with some 81% chocolate pieces. I waited a little for the chocolate to soften, then blended it up. (I usually make hot cocoa this way but w/o any tea)

This is everything I had opened for. The bergamot taste pairs nicely with the chocolate without overpowering it. Mmm!

Flavors: Bergamot, Dark Chocolate

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 0 sec 3 g 8 OZ / 236 ML

I have enjoyed various teas most of my life, but have recently started exploring higher-end teas. Still, plain houjicha (loose-leaf or bagged) makes me feel like I’m in Japan.
