So I’m in Florida on vaca and I have to say that I’m pretty sure security went through my checked bag like twice because of all the tea in there, haha. Honestly though, I brought a full box of these (start the day off right you know?) and I my hotel is right next to a mall. And in that mall? A Tavalon store!! So you might not here from me a lot, but I will have much to post when I get back :)
See you all soon Steepsterites!

I gotta try this in smart balance milk when I get more tonite. Have fun on vacation!
Have fun!
Have a wonderful time :)
awesome perk to your vacation!
I have a question, Chocolate Puerh fans….does this have a puerh-y taste? Like earth? Or fish? Or, erm, barnyard?
No, no, and, no… it does have a lot of depth and complexity though. I’m sure this is also in part due to the chocolate. I could give you a more accurate answer if this was just a chocolate flavored pu erh, but it’s got a bunch of other stuff which takes up space in the serving size which could be used for more chocolate and pu erh.
Have a great vacation, and enjoy the Tavalon store!
Shanti- it tastes like a spicy, chocolaty, – very good. Now I want this one when I get home..
It sounds amazing! My grocery store caries Numi, but never the Chocolate Puerh…cry
Thanks everyone – I will have fun!
Unfortunately what my brother told me was a Tavalon (he actually just kept saying yes to me after he brought me home a tin of Menage-A-Gummies is actually a Tea Largo…they CARRY Tavalon items. No worries though, I bought plenty to rate :)
@Shanti, please see my other ratings for exactly what this tastes like, it is spiced, not spicy, a little earthy in that it is not black tea, it is slightly rough and natural, not bold or strong, and it of course chocolatey. I highly suggest having it with some milk and oversteeping (sometimes I go as long as ten minutes) and you will get fantastic results. :)
Where did you get: Chocolate Puerh by Numi Organic Tea? Enjoy vacation.
Cinoi, 10 MIN?! What’s the milk/water ratio?
TeaNerd: Not sure where Cinoi got her’s, but it can be found on their website.
@teanerd I get it at wholefoods. I haven’t found another grocery store that carries it, but as cofftea said, you can get it at numi organics website. And thank you!
Cofftea, it depends on how I’m feeling. I usually do ten ounces hot water to one tea bag. I like to infuse that 7-10 mins. If I’m making it in my 22oz pot, I will fill it with hot water and use two tea bags and infuse 5-7 minutes for normal 7-10 minutes for strong. Milk is always to taste, never more than an ounce. Usually a splash which is hard to define.
Oh ok. I don’t think that’ll work for me. I always steep mine in 6oz of water so 5min is comparable I guess. And I’ve never been a “splash of milk” type person. It took me forever to not think that even a 1:1 ratio wasn’t watery lol.
Ohhh. Its boxed bags. OK, thanks…I’ll look for it at the grocery next time. I sure dig the Puerhs.
TeaNerd- they have both loose and bagged online. The bagged is quite impressive though.
