I got this one in the advent calendar this year and it’s really great! I generally am not a huge fan of chocolate teas, but for some reason the mint balances out the sweetness. It is still noticeably sweet, but when I need a treat without getting elbow-deep into a bag of chocolate-covered almond, it works. The thing that confuses me is the smell of the tea. it smells very weird – almost astringent and acidic, which I might expect if it had artificial flavors, but it doesn’t. It will remain a mystery, but don’t judge by the smell.
This is You :-D

Bio
I love tea. I always had tea growing up, and now that I’m in my late 20’s and tea is trendy, I am loving it!
I love classic flavors – lemon, peppermint, orange, ginger, clove, etc, but I love when they get mixed up into something new and different.
I like most teas, but herbals, green (jasmine especially), black and white tend to be my favorites. I am getting into rooibos at the moment, which is a great adventure. Some tea still scared me to prepare myself, so I leave pu-reh and mate to the experts.
What I dislike in tea – artificial flavours, stevia (gives me headaches), lots of sugar or excessive sweeteners already added, and overly-spiced teas (ie – cinnamon mostly).
My tea ranking system:
1-20: Yuck. Not my thing
20-40: I could tolerate this if I had to.
40-60: Good, but I probably won’t buy it or drink it unless I have a craving.
60-80: Yummy, I would probably buy small portions of this as I can see me drinking it regularly.
80-100: Amazing! I would buy this by the bucket and be content drinking it lots! (It will earn a spot on my 100g tin wall).
