“I found four 52teas marked December 2015 that hadn’t even been opened or logged in my cupboard. :( This is what I get for not drinking tea for a long time. This tea is made of Verdant Teas and...” Read full tasting note
“I know I reviewed this just yesterday but I decided to prioritise drinking this tea since coconut is just about the only tea ingredient that I know of that goes bad over time so I can’t let it age...” Read full tasting note
“Love this one. Can’t really say what is going on here beyond chocolate and coconut. Vanilla maybe? Marshmallow maybe? Whatever. This one in my humble opinion is a star. Thanks, VariaTEA.” Read full tasting note

Description

No, this isn’t cat flavored.

This tea was created as an incentive fulfillment for our start-up Kickstarter campaign. Our generous backer wanted a tea that was inspired by the Samoa cookie (from the Girl Scouts!) but since we can’t use “Samoa” because we don’t want legal action from those girls in green, I asked our backer to come up with a name and because she’s fond of cats, she decided to name the tea as a tribute to her favorite furry four-legged friend.

So, imagine for a moment – black tea (a beautiful blend of black teas from our friends at Verdant Tea) flavored with chocolate, coconut and caramel. YUM! I added a generous sprinkling of cacao shells, cacao nibs and even some cute little chocolate chips – yes, they’re vegan! – and then I added some shreds of unsweetened coconut. The dry leaf is quite beautiful and the colors reminiscent of a calico cat!

You really should try this one!

Ingredients: black teas, cacao nibs, cacao shells, mini vegan chocolate chips, shredded coconut & all-natural flavors.
