Review: I am sorry to say that this tea was a bit of of a disappointment. The nose on the dry leaf was rather nice, but the flavors just didn’t come together in the cup. I found the base tea to be rather harsh, and with the dominant cardamom, the result was an acrid brew.

The addition of sugar and milk did soften this tea some, and the cocoa notes become more obvious. Still, the flavors never really came together, and while it the sweetened, milky tea might satisfy a chocolate/sweet craving in a pinch, there are other flavored teas that can do the job much better.
