You know those Godiva dark chocolate bars with the raspberry filling? The ones they sell in the check-out line at Kohl’s, which is kind of mean of them, because you went there to buy socks and a sweater and you don’t need chocolate, but now they’re calling out to you like tiny foil-wrapped sirens of deliciousness? (Maybe I’m projecting.)
Well, this tea smells like that when it’s steeped. (Exactly what I was hoping it would smell like! YAY.) The raspberry note here is very refined, not too sweet, with a note of smooth dark chocolate behind it. And it tastes like one of those chocolate bars too! I have to sip slowly to get the full effect—this is not an in-your-face kind of dessert flavor—but that just makes me appreciate it more. I also added sugar, as recommended, and I thought it tasted excellent both ways. I like that the base tea has a hint of something floral; it makes this tea feel elegant, and fits the name. I’m already craving another cup.
