I was intrigued by the idea of this tea, chocolate and strawberries seemed like an excellent plan in my world! The smell was strong and heavy on the strawberry, which I loved. After I had brewed the tea, I found that the fruit notes were present but very subtle. The finished tea had a strong deep chocolate note that I really liked. I found it most certainly needed a bit of sweetening, though not a huge amount. Overall, I liked this tea and I think it will continue to grow on me. It is not the instant love I have had with other blends, but I would totally drink this again.
