Happy Valentine’s Day! I thought this tea was fitting, and it’s also getting a little old by now so I thought I’d better use it up soon. I’ve never quite found its brewing sweet spot, so this time around I tried about 2 tsp/9oz, with a long brewing time (at least five minutes, but likely more).
This is probably as good as this tea gets, and I’ll admit that I don’t hate it. It still doesn’t live up to its name, but the flavors are more or less there. There’s a watery breakfast tea flavor at the beginning, which I think must be my problem with it, and then a deep, dark chocolate flavor. Not bad at all! The aftertaste is rich, and truffly indeed with something reminiscent of raspberry cordial. If only that initial watery boringness would go away this might even make my favorites list. Bumping up the rating, but this is probably as high as it’ll go.
