Day 5 of my do-it-yourself scavenger hunt tea advent calendar!
Oh. My. God. If heaven offered tea, this would be the one they would have. Tastes minty, has the creaminess of white chocolate, and a nice zip at the end from the peppercorns. Yes, it’s oily on top. Cocoa butter, the only ingredient in good white chocolate, is oil. That’s why it’s called cocoa BUTTER. Come on, people. You complain about artificial flavours, and when they use chunks of white chocolate you complain about drinking cocoa butter. Poor muffins. I’d prefer an oil slick over a lab-created chocolate “flavour”. I definitely could do without the stevia, though. This tea is definitely sweet, but not so sweet I couldn’t drink it. It was a bit rough to have something so “desserty” in the morning. Would have been an awesome after-dinner bevvie. That will be my next cup! And I love that this is truly herbal; white chocolate contains no caffeine (the caffeine in chocolate is in the chocolate liquor, which is only added back in while making milk and dark chocolate). My mom would also love this.
Verdict: Will buy a kilogram. Ha.
