Thanks to Sil for this sample!!
I totally see what you mean about this being a low grade cocoa. The chocolate note is just… well it’s off somehow.
And the raspberry is so sharp! In a very familiar, artificial sortof way.
At first, I really was not enjoying my cup. Strangely, by the end of the cup, it started to grow on me. I still disliked the fake notes but there was something oddly satisfying there. Like Tim Hortons beverages!(I heard they line the cups with a certain kind of coconut oil, which apparently is addictive so there are tons of people out there who don’t really like their coffee, but crave it anyhow heh)
That said, I wouldn’t go out and buy more. Def not heh.
Also, Dad commented on my cup of tea as it was brewing. First time ever he identified the type of tea, and that he likes chocolate! So I made him a cup and all he would say was “interesting”. Pretty sure he was disappointed though he won’t confirm because he is trying to be nice haha
Anyhow, it’s an almost sipdown, I have enough for a small cup left! Maybe I’ll mix it with my assam :)

yeah..i find this with most of Della Terra’s chocolate teas. I seem to be in the minority though heh. Doesn’t stop me from picking up samples to try them as there are a few of their teas that I REALLY like!
We are so glad you enjoyed the cup at the end. We have found that with some teas, not just ours but in general, they can acquire a new taste as the cup cools. Hmmm. haha. As far as the chocolate, we are sorry it isn’t your favorite! We do assure you it has some of the highest quality cocoa power, nibs and milk chocolate bits (depending on the tea) from around the world. We will be coming out, hopefully by this summer with a vegan chocolate tea you may enjoy.
As always thanks for the reviews and we can’t wait to see more from you!
I thought it went sour in the mouth. odd.
Sil, I can’t wait to order a Della Terra sampler package. Soon as I get my stash down a little… it’s next on my list! probably not any of their chocolate ones though.
Bonnie, I think I know what you mean. I’ve noticed that in most chocolate teas actually!
IB – yeah i’m actually looking at that tonight lol since they have the 30% off and the new teas are up..
Della Terra, yes I agree! I am very picky about my chocolate teas so that is an issue I’ve come across often.
I look forward trying your vegan chocolate tea!
Oh man, what a tease!! I promised myself I wouldn’t…
