Thoughts:
I used to hate chocolate. Can you believe that? Thank goodness my tastes have changed and I, like so many people, adore chocolate. So it came as no surprise to me that I chose this infusion from the tea chest as my first review for Tea Forté Friday. The ingredients in this are cacao, cinnamon, fennel, licorice root, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper which might appear to be a very bold infusion but I assure you it isn’t overpowering or scary. As I was steeping this, I was shocked at the way it smelled exactly like hot chocolate. I have had other tea/infusions that had chocolate in them but sorely lacked any chocolate resemblance so drinking this and actually tasting chocolate brought me great enjoyment. I love the way the chocolate is obvious in taste but there is also something more too it. The spicy taste I mentioned in the tea notes is more of a gentle nudge of cinnamon, cloves, and licorice that comes from underneath, making them present but not overpowering. This infusion is definitely a treat and one that I would be more than willing to indulge in often.

I’m appalled that you would even say that you hate chocolate
I know, I was ashamed to admit it. But trust me, I do not hate it any longer!
I do not usually like spiced teas or herbal teas but this does sound good. Anything with Chocolate sounds good. Happy to hear that you are now among the chocolate lovers of the world.
Have a great day.
