1629 Tasting Notes
I’ve nearly forgotten about my sample box, which is the cute box I had received from Golden Moon Tea! I wanted something refreshing and figured I should try this one out. It is raining out, and I burned a veggie bun in my microwave so it stinks in here! pole sana.
The scent is very strong. Very minty. I can taste the gunpowder slightly as an aftertaste. I didn’t particularly enjoy the minty/tingly/medicinal feeling I had on the tip of my tongue. Must be the mint oil… Anyway, good tea! I was tempted to try with sugar, but I didn’t.
Preparation
Thank you Queenoftarts for sending me a sample in a swap! Wow-ie! SO delicious! Right off the bat, I could smell the loose tea from the bag! Heavenly! Divine! This is what I needed. Sometimes I get mild allergic reactions to soy from certain chocolates, but this one didn’t give me any problems! The leaves are nice and dark with bits of chocolate and cacao nibs of some sort. Again, the scent is STRONG of chocolate. Not the artificial kind but the type that might be like dark, creamy chocolate.
I steeped it for too long since I forgot it about it in the midst of cooking >_< Nevertheless, this is a VERY forgiving tea. It didn’t turn bad or bitter on me! The liquor was a deep brown. The scent was still very strong of chocolate. The taste… DIVINE! This has to be my favorite chocolate tea. It is real chocolate. I added some sugar, and it made the chocolate stand out more. This can do without sugar or milk. I tried it with milk, and it was creamy! I love LOVE LOOOVVEEE dark chocolate, and this one was dark chocolate but not bitter to me. Delicious.
