This is wonderful tea! If you like chocolate you have to try this. I almost didn’t because hazelnut was listed as one of the flavors and I am not a nut fan when it comes to tea or coffee. While the hazelnut is noticeable, it the smooth vanilla and chocolate notes that dominant this blend.

It was great on it’s own hot, it was heaven with my usual dab of Splenda and cream, and it reminded me of a smooth creamy iced mocha when I had it chilled later.

I haven’t had a mocha in years…not since I went low carb… this was such a wonderful treat. it would be perfection if it had just a touch of raspberry because my old signature summer drink was a white-raspberry-iced-mocha… but it was still thee best chocolate dessert tea I’ve tried so far.

I can’t say enough good things about the blend. It is brisk and full bodied. Full bodied enough that I could see having this occasionally as a morning blend. It’s not sugary sweet at all but it is another great alternative to a traditional dessert.

Flavors: Chocolate, Hazelnut, Vanilla

Bio

Where to start? I am cuddlesmom in honor of the most amazing dachshund/terrier that ever lived (she lasted 19 years, passing away in 2015). Otherwise, I am a history teacher, wife and ardent Bond fan (Dalton being my favorite Bond on the screen).

I dabble in writing romance and suspense, (though the muse has gone on what appears to be an indefinite vacation as of late). I just finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow & have to say what a fun read that was!

As far as tea goes, I have been a dabbler for a longtime but since I recently discovered Harney & Sons in Target, I’ve gotten hooked on it. Since that first tin, I find myself more and more interested in trying new types of tea.

The Harney site, with its free shipping and samples, is a very dangerous place indeed.

As for my ratings, they are based on a standard scale: 100= Flawless perfection, 99-90= Excellent, 89-80= Above Average, 79-70= Average, 69-60= Below Average, 59-below Failing, poor tea IMO.

Irish Breakfast is my black non-flavored go to tea, raspberry has been pushed out by Harney’s Goji Fruit tea as my favorite fruit tea. I am starting to do more green teas and have just ordered my first oolong, so we will see how it goes.
