This was the other tea infused chocolate I tried from Upbio at the festival.
I picked this one out as my sample because it was the most unique sounding of their flavours, though I also just enjoy the flavour of thyme quite a bit and I was curious if it would actually taste distinctly like thyme or if they would shy away from the herbaceous taste like many companies who claim to have “herb infused” confectionery often do.
It was actually very good with a surprisingly strong thyme flavour and I did genuinely consider buying a full box – but at this point I’d already scooped up several other tea related sweets (and some bottles of soy sauce) and was trying to be more reserved with the rest of my festival budget. Seriously though; this was a chocolate for the herb lovers out there. Really, really thyme forward and the combo was so unique and well juxtaposed. Just… interesting in a delicious way.
