I was skeptical about this tea for a few reasons: 1) Other reviews haven’t been great so far (Can we say stevia? Ew.) and 2) it’s a pu-erh which I’ve yet to have much luck with, so I was actually rather surprised this morning. Does it taste like hot chocolate? Yes. Does it taste like good hot chocolate? Well not really. It’s more a long the lines of a too watery cup of hot chocolate that could really use some milk, but there’s kind of a nostalgic element to that feeling that makes it rather enjoyable. I actually really liked this as a pu-erh. The earthiness actually added to the flavour as opposed to getting in the way (looking at you, Juicy Orange). And, though it may have just been my sample, I didn’t pick up on any stevia in this. I would really like to try this one as a latte, but black I actually found it quite nice.
Flavors: Chocolate
Glad this one didn’t assault your tastebuds!
I hope DAVIDs is looking at the Steepster reviews re: stevia, but I doubt it.
I doubt it as well :/ Though overall I think the popularity of stevia is going down.
Thank goodness. It seemed like such a huge thing last year! I’m feeling like they’re trying to go more organic, at the very least.
