Very generous sample from Lariel. Tastes like Cherry Chocolate Cordial! I was actually pretty surprised on how good it is considering I oversteeped it a little. Will try a shorter steeping time next time.

Does not re-steep well.

This sample is from Lariel. Taste profile is pretty similar to DTs Mint Chocolate. I only have enough for one cup (8-10oz) so to be on the safe side, I steeped this in 6oz of boiling water. It is very minty, very chocolatey but the rooibos taste still prevails by a tad. I guess, using a smaller amount of water helped in getting more of the mint and chocolate taste. Either way, I’m happy with it.

Did not re-steep well, but I was expecting that.

Thanks Stephanie for this! Mint, check. Fennel, check. Cloves, check. Cardamom, check. Licorice, check. Ginger, check. Black pepper, check and check! Everything melds together so well. Guess I will have to replace my Moroccan Mint staple with this.

This one’s from jeweledthumb, thank you. I can taste a little bit of the Sauvignon Blanc - smooth, not too fruity, and not too tart. It has a very mild astringency to it, just like the real thing. The cooler it gets, the tastier it becomes. I guess, since it’s based off white wine, then it’s better cold?

Really creamy earl grey :)

Thanks jeweledthumb for this tea. If I remember correctly, this tea tastes very similar to Wegman’s Chocolate Chai. Unfortunately, I can’t compare the two since I’ve been out of the Chocolate Chai for a while now. This is a very smooth, very chocolatey drink with a just right taste of coconut and a subtle hint of cinnamon and vanilla. Would definitely be a good drink on a stormy night ;)

Thanks Stephanie. I can see this as my go to tea for relaxation. I will have to try it as a ‘wake up’ tea. Since I am also an avid coffee drinker, my morning tea is usually black. I love the combination of citrus and Guayusa base.

This tea tastes like chocolate cake batter with sprinkles. Very happy with it. I still have about 1-2 cups worth left, so I will have to see which additions will meld well with this. Thanks jeweledthumb for this.

Sipping on a cold brewed one, and it tastes pretty close to the real thing. Too bad I’m down to my last 5g of this :( But at least I still have a quart and a half of the brew left sitting in my fridge.
