Chocolate Pecan Rooibos

I got a huge amount of this tea from SimplyJenW. Thanks so much! I love having caffeine free options for night time since I find tea drinking so relaxing before bed. THis particular tea does sound luscious. I think nuts and chocolate are a match made in heaven. And pecans are definitely overlooked as delicious nuts. I make an awesome pecan pie. :)

I find that this tea tastes mostly like rooibos with a subtle flavor of chocolate and a hint of pecan. The flavor of this tea comes out most strongly once my cup has been emptied. WHen I sniff my empty cup, I even get a caramelly note. yum. I ‘d enjoy this more if the flavor was stronger in the drink, but overall, this is pretty good. I’m happy to have this large pouch of tea to drink through. :)

Thank you SimplyJenW for some of this tea! I figured it was the same as your honeybush so I just used that description on here.

I actually just ordered a custom blend from Ovation that is shipping out tomorrow so I am really excited. This tastes really good!

I love the sweetness that the caramel adds. It gives the aftertaste this supersweet chocolate taste. The pecan adds just the right amount of nuttiness.

This is something I would totally give to someone who hasn’t had much success before with rooibos. It’s the perfect base for this, it doesn’t take away from the flavor and adds a nice, subtle woody flavor to offset the sweetness.

This has a very simple flavor; I taste the pecan most, then the rooibos, then the chocolate and caramel. Very nice if you want a sweet and nutty rooibos!

Thank you for the sale, Momo! Here is one I get to try from Ovation – miss them! I’ve never tried a bad tea from them and I’ve tried a handful. Always plenty of flavor. This one promises pecan, chocolate and caramel on a rooibos blend. There are plenty of actual pecan pieces. The primary note is chocolate that reminds me of milk chocolate frosting or chocolate whip in candy bars. There is a hint of woody flavor, either from the rooibos or the pecan. I’m not sure if I’m tasting caramel but there is plenty of sweetness! A really nice dessert blend, though I would have liked a honeybush base more.
