TheLastDodo drank White Chocolate Peppermint by Teavana

296 tasting notes

From the Herbal TTB!
Okay. If there is anything I dislike in the world of tea, it’s the three combinations of things about this tea. 1) it’s a Rooibos 2) it has actual chocolate pieces in it and 3) it’s from Teavana.

And yet.

I am a freak for white chocolate peppermint bark. I scared my family during my visit on Thanksgiving by eating disgusting amounts of it. Like a pound. By myself. And although this tea does not seem to have any physical mint in it, I gulp liked it.

I can’t actually taste the Rooibos in this. Which is fine, whatever. I overleafed on purpose and ignored the film on top. This is like drinking liquid peppermint bark, but without the calories and shame.

I think I may have to hang on to this one for a bit.

Flavors: Mint, Sweet, White Chocolate

Preparation

3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Bio

I dream in tea.

My name is Maddi. I like to take boiling hot showers and meditate in my closet. I think and talk about tea so much that it has become a punchline of sorts with my family and coworkers. Besides my unhealthy obsession with the drink that gives me life, I do yoga frequently, I make green smoothies out of any vegetables and fruit in the nearest vicinity, I am obsessed with Korean Dramas, I run as a form of moving meditation, and play video games with my easygoing and forgiving boyfriend. I used to cook for a living, and I almost always eat at least one waffle a day.

Favorite types of teas:
Aged Oolongs hold my heart. Sneaking their way in are Korean Greens. Roasted oolongs and I are not on speaking terms as of late. Black teas of all types, but especially Fujian and some Yunnan are nice indulgences more often than not. I know and love Japanese greens more than any kind, while Chinese greens bore me. Certain White teas thrill me, but most have me changing the channel. I love using my Yerba Mate gourd, we have become steadfast amigos. Puerh and I are still getting to know each other, and while sheng is playing hard to get, shou is there to hold my hand when no one is looking. I sometimes make my own functional herbal blends, and if there is a hell, it is filled with Rooibos. Above all else, direct – trade tea is my favorite.

First you heat the water.
Then you make the tea.
Then you drink it properly.
That is all you need to know.”
