Ahh, this was my gateway drug to DAVIDsTEA. A friend at work bought it last winter, and when she brewed it our whole office smelled like warm, chocolatey, spicy delight! She shared it with me, and once I tasted it I was hooked. This tea has a marvellous aroma! The flavour is slightly sweet, with strong notes of chocolate and chilli pepper (surprise!), and a hint of red berry underneath.
I find the top of the cup to be more chocolatey, with an aftertaste of chilli pepper that gets stronger in the mouth as you get lower into the cup. The chilli heat is quite mild – it’s not like drinking, say, ginger tea with cayenne pepper; it likes to sit in the back of the throat rather than burning around the lips and tongue.
I recently bought 100g of this tea so that I can have some at work and some at home for the cool weather to come. I’m sure I’ll need to be stocking up again before too long – Eastern Canada’s winters always feel like they’ll never end, and warming treats like this help to make it feel almost enjoyable. Almost.
Flavors: Chocolate, Peppercorn, Red Fruits, Spices
