Description

The Mesoamerican peoples left a decadent legacy in their use of the bean from the cacao tree. Today we find it desserts and savories. Dark chocolate chips melt into the infusion of this Ceylon black tea to create the ultimate coupling of two taste bud tantalizers. We hope you will excuse us as we indulge ourselves by blending Chocolate Chip tea. We couldn't resist and hope you won't either.

Story

The story of chocolate begins with Columbus' discovery of America. Cocoa beans were among the curiosities he brought back from his voyage. However, it wasn't until the conquest of Mexico that the Spaniards learned of "chocolatl," a drink made from cocoa beans that the Aztecs served Cortez and his troops. The Spaniards found the drink bitter. But luckily, the New World was also a source of cane sugar. Combining the two, and bringing the recipe to Spain, proved a booming business. The Spanish managed to keep it a secret for nearly a hundred years.

"Opening the tin on this tea I quickly spied the bits of chocolate lurking in the tin. However, this tea lacks a lot in the chocolate tasting dept. I find the regular chocolate tea has a more chocolaty flavor. My 9 year old son likes it though. :)"

"I made myself a tea latte. I usually don't like my chocolate flavored tea straight because they usually end up tasting like watered down hot chocolate. I like the fact that I could taste both chocolate and tea, because that is not always the case. An affordable choice too, since you need a lot of leaves to make a decent tea latte."

"This is a great chocolate flavored tea. Chocolate in tea is hard to accomplish without a fake chocolatee taste. This tea manages to pull it off. Great to mix with other flavors."

"Great tea for blending. I don't really ever drink this alone. I mix it with whatever I am in the mood for...peppermint, or spearmint. It's also great with almond or some hazelnut."

"Smooth taste - not as bitter as a lot of the black teas. I can't exactly taste the chocolate, but I like it anyway."
