This tea has a soft scent of chocolate and puffed rice. It is light tan in color. The flavor is a bit weak and leaves something to be desired. I can't quite place what is missing, but it is not a favorite. It does not taste bitter or otherwise bad, it just isn't very flavorful.
The flavor did strengthen a bit as I left the infuser in the pot while I was working and the flavor improved. This is a tea that tastes better the longer it steeps. It might have been a good idea to use the entire sample for one steeping instead of dividing it into 2 servings. The tea had grown cold by the time it was strong enough to enjoy. I am willing to try it again, though, with more product to provide more flavor. After the tea had basically been soaking/steeping for an hour and a half, I noticed a nice flavor of coconut that balanced well with the chocolate and tea. This is definitely a tea to try again with the knowledge that it needs to be brewed stronger. For now, though, I'm only giving this one 2 stars.
This tea can be found at www.davidstea.com. This review is entirely my own and I did not receive any products, discounts, or money to write it. I just like keeping track of the things I find and what I like vs dislike.
