This was a decent tea, but probably my least favorite of the S&V teas so far. Ashman had a bit of it, but I could tell that the chocolate aroma was the one he dislikes, in spite of his usually liking S&V chocolate flavored teas. He drank it several times and finally mentioned that it had an odd smell and he thought it smelled like chocolate milk or hot chocolate. At least he didn’t say it smelled like mildew! That’s what he says about all Harney chocolate flavored teas.
Based on the name, I would expect more nutty flavor and no mint. The mint is not offensive but it seems an odd fit for the name of this tea. Overall, it was okay, but not one I would repurchase. I would call it drinkable, decent, innocuous, but not a stand out by any means.
I agree on the name, I feel like they should swap this one and St. Nick’s, which is some kind of maple and nut flavored black tea? Seems backwards to me ha ha.
I get yuck taste from Harney’s chocolate flavoring too, but more chemical and less mildew.
