I’m trying to not be grumpy about this tea, but I am…a little bit grumpy about this tea.
To start off though, the pros: well spiced, perfect amount of heat, nice enough base tea if you’re into that kind of thing.
The cons: this doesn’t really taste like Mexican hot chocolate to me at all? I’m trying not to hate on this tea because it doesn’t taste BAD or anything, I was just really looking forward to it, and it’s nothing like I was expecting. I can live without picking up hints of marshmallows or whatever, but I’m really not getting “chocolate” here and that was kind of the main selling point for me. Maybe the chocolate is just too subtle for me, but tbh this isn’t a tea where I’d expect or appreciate subtlety.

Yeah, this one is disappointing.
I am hoping that the flavours will start coming to life in my next cup or two. Maybe the well-flavoured leaf is all at the bottom of the bag, but no. Not if everyone else is having the same experience.
Aw, I was kind of hoping I just didn’t shake up the bag enough too. :( I might try adding cocoa power or something next time and see how things go
I have some cocoa nibs here somewhere, so I may try to beef it up with that, but first I will try all other options with steeping and so on to see if some more flavour can be coaxed from this tea.
