I decided to make this one again today. I was a bit hasty last time, and this time it seems I’m in a more receptive mood, and what a surprise – the taste is much more agreeable.
I steeped this up not right at boiling, but also not as cool as the first temperature drop on the scale, for the recommended 3 minutes. The chocolate and orange are both there, and the base is not over- or underwhelming. The orange takes a bit of a back seat to the chocolate, but it’s still noticeable. The chocolate is more of a milk chocolate, but it’s not overwhelming.
With the exception of Japon, I want to love these French teas as much as everyone else seems to, but sometimes the flavourings seem not enough for my liking. Except for “red fruits”, which is far too much for my liking.
I’m glad I let this one sit a few weeks before trying it again. I’m not a huge fan of the overwhelming scents when I first open my freshly arrived Nina’s teas. Maybe this means there is also hope for The des Anges.

Yay for teas that taste better second time around!
I remember red fruits was like OMG. Dying, death, sadness.
Cough syrup :(
Right?! Those red fruits are not for me. And it seems they are abundant in French teas. But when I find ones without red fruits, it’s a better scene.
