Not as much chocolate flavor as I expected, but overall not bad.
Dark chocolate chips melt into our citrusy Ceylon black tea for the ultimate treat. Dense and soft chocolate flavor.

Not as much chocolate flavor as I expected, but overall not bad.
Smells better than it brews. I'll try again, but not impressed.
A full bodied black tea with a hint of chocolate made this a good brew. I used some toffee flavored raw sugar during the steeping time for added sweetness.
I think chocolate chip tea is my new favorite! It s yummy mixed with fruit or nut tea. It tastes just like hot chocolate by itself with a little milk and sugar.
This is really nice! I like the subtle chocolate flavor.
This is my new favorite! I use 2 teaspoons in my Ingenitea and mix it with warm soy milk to make a latte. It is delicious!
Awesome for those who need the caffeine but hate coffee.
Tastes much like a dark roast chocolate coffee. I may have added too much sugar first time around but still very good. Wife liked it and she hates black tea.
This was really quite delicious. It can't steep as long as it says it should or it gets bitter, but lightly brewed it is very enjoyable and smooth.
I brewed it a little differently. I put milk and the tea in a pot and brought it to a boil before letting it simmer for 10 minutes. It's a bit more work, but the flavor is amazing. The chocolate is a little light, so I tossed in half a teaspoon of hot chocolate mix. But this might be my favorite chai flavor ever.
I love this tea. I had it as part of a sampler, and I bought the full bag. That shows how much I enjoy it. It is chocolatey, but not too chocolatey.
Family loved this tea, went through the sample immediately, tastes very chocolatey and amazing in blends.
This is a great tea when you add cream and your sweetener of choice. Is a good pick me up in the morning.
I enjoyed the teas with cocoa nibs, decided to go full in and get chocolate chip.
Delicately chocolatey, and pairs very well with milk.
The blend was a bit bitter. I prefer not using any sweetener in my tea, however this def needed a bit.
Delicious. Chocolate flavor is great and very satisfying for a sweet tooth!
Chocolate tea always confuses my senses because the smell makes me think hot chocolate while the taste makes me think tea. I can t really tell the difference between this and the plain chocolate tea - this might be a trifle richer? It was pleasant but I think I ll primarily use it in blends rather than drinking it straight.
I expected this to be really great, but it was just ok. Sorry, but this did not taste like chocolate chips or chocolate chip cookies to me. As a black tea, it was ok and I didn't feel that the chocolate flavor added in a good way.
Great chocolaty tea that is great of an afternoon pick me up. Personally prefer mine with a bit of milk and sugar.
This my 'go to' tea when I need a sweet, but not the calories from cookies or cake. I add a light teaspoon of organic sugar and my craving comes to an end! I like this in the cooler months, when I am craving comfort food!
This was very good by itself and mixed with some other flavors. I tried it with orange, strawberry and coconut. All were good results. Nice to have if you want to mix things up or on it's own.
Really nice chocolate chip tea. It was a lovely dessert tea.
deeply satisfying black tea with heavenly chocolate liquor undertones... a real treat!
I love this tea with milk as a treat in the evening.
I liked this by itself and also mixed with mocha nut mate. I really enjoy the chocolate flavor, I added sugar to sweeten it a little. Good dessert tea
Decadent and rich, with cream and sugar is almost coffee like; pulls no punches, get this if you love chocolate
This is my favorite tea! It smells strong, but the flavor is more mellow and perfect. I drink it in the morning.
This is a pretty simple tea, but it really hits the spot when you're craving something sweet without all the added calories. Yum!
Good for mixing, though I couldn't really tell any difference between this and the regular chocolate tea.
A little bitter when alone. Tastes better mixed with Cream tea.
This tasted like mocha to me and I really enjoyed it.
An interesting twist on normal black tea. I'm pretty new to loose leaf teas, so I didn't even think that adding something like chocolate to tea was a possibility. By itself it's okay, but adding vanilla soy creamer to this gets it very close to that coveted hot chocolate/tea combo. In fact, this would probably be a good alternative to the sugary hot chocolate mixes if you want something lighter.
As another one of the reviewers mentioned, this tea was good, but from the description I was expecting something that might be more akin to hot chocolate. The chocolate flavor is much more subtle than that and the primary flavor is definitely still the tea. You can definitely smell the chocolate as you drink the tea, though. Also, the scale of the picture makes the chocolate chips look like the standard size ones to me, but in actuality, they're the small mini sized chocolate chips.
Tastes so chocolatey and doesn't need any sweeteners but a tiny (and I mean tiny) dash of sugar does punch up the sweet factor if you like it extra sweet. Perfect for satisfying a chocolate craving without the extra calories!
I usually do not like chocolate teas. I am hoping for something that reminds me of a hot chocolate but that flavor is never quite achieved. I didn't get it with this one either but with a little sweetener, it was still quite good.
Best chocolate tea I've ever had. It will replace your hot-chocolate. I ordered a 3oz bag and it was gone before I even realized it.
My favorite tea from Adagio so far. It's great for chocolate cravings. And especially amazing as a tea latte.
Bought this for my stepson, and he loved it! Now he has tea for dessert. I win.
very mild smooth chocolate flavor, loved it, one of my new favs
It wasn't exactly what I was thinking it was, but it's pretty decent. Of course it's an acquired taste.
When you have a taste for chocolate in a drink but don't want hot chocolate...this hits the spot!
This is fantastic, delicious tea! It reminds of coffee, only better. It does not taste like what you'd probably expect from the concept of 'chocolate chip tea'. The more I drank it, the more I liked it. When my sample bag ran out, I was very unhappy. On my next payday, I bought (among other things) a three-ounce bag. Hopefully this will last me until next payday. I may even sign up for this as a recurring purchase - it's just so good. It's a perfect coffee replacement: all the dark, roasty, full-bodied flavor and caffeine without the jitters or the stomach problems.
Having poorly brewed a couple of the other teas I bought and been chagrined by the results, knowing that my poor brewing and not the teas to be at fault, I decided to make myself take the time to do it right with the chocolate chip on the first tasting. So I boiled the water on the stove instead of microwaving it, measured the tea generously instead of trying to skimp to make it last longer, and set a timer to be sure I neither under- nor over-steeped it, according to the direction of four minutes on the pouch.
In the pouch, the tea smells rather sweetly chocolatey due to the chocolate chips, with a dry, dark, almost-but-not-exactly sour undertone from the Ceylon and a sort of pleasingly bitter warmth from the cacao nibs. There's a slight roastiness to the smell of the pouched blend, but it's subtle and I notice it now mainly because I've become entrained to its presence in the brewed tea. When I first smelled this blend I didn't notice anything coffee-like about it.
Freshly brewed, it is aromatic but not overwhelming. It smells just enough like chocolate to let you know that it contains some, but it isn't the intense, almost candy-like scent of actual hot chocolate by any means. Maybe if there were more chocolate chips in the mix, the brew would be more cocoa-like, but the result is, like I said, surprisingly coffee-like in some ways.
The liquor is dark red-brown and fairly substantial as teas go, though still much thinner than an actual hot chocolate would be. The fine Ceylon black tea used as the basis for most of Adagio's flavored teas is as good as ever, with a dark, smooth, rich texture that has only a very mild astringency (might become too strong if overbrewed, but since I set a timer, that didn't happen to me.) It has roughly the same texture and body as coffee, and it even has a deep roasty flavor. It has that deep unsweetened raw chocolate bitterness, though, which gives it a character of its own. And though very caffeinated, it doesn't have coffee's jitters or stomach-upsetting properties.
In short, I would recommend this tea to someone who loves coffee but has had to stop drinking it, or drink less of it. Or to a coffee lover who wants to branch out into teas more for their own sake but who might prefer something familiar to start out with. It provides many of the pleasant things about a cup of good coffee - a dark, roasty flavor profile; a full-bodied, smooth mouthfeel - without the downsides (stomach upset, jitters, anxiety). I would also recommend it to the hard-core chocolate connoisseur, the sort of person who prefers their chocolate bars to be as high a cacao content as possible (no less than 70% for these folks, most of the time). If that is you, you will love this tea, as part of the flavor profile is a very authentic raw chocolate, without the adulterants of milk and sugar. If you're the sort of person to whom chocolate is primarily a sweet candy, though, you will probably be disappointed with this and consider it not chocolatey enough. It is not very sweet at all on its own - I would consider it a warm, bitter, roasty flavor. It smells sweet, but it doesn't taste sweet.
With that said, if one were to add some milk and sweetener to this, the result would likely be closer to the more traditional candy-chocolate flavor. I drank it plain for this review, but just out of curiosity, I decided to splash some whole milk in here at the end to check it out. The natural sugars in the milk draw out the slight sweetness in the tea, reducing the bitterness of the flavor profile slightly, but I still would not call this a truly sweet tea on its own. Oddly, I find that adding milk actually brought out the Ceylon flavor more than it did the chocolate flavor. It also added a richness that bolstered the already robust body of the tea, changing the mouthfeel to be more silky. When warm, the chocolate flavors, though not candy-like, were most prominent, but now that it has cooled more, I am much more aware of the Ceylon presence.
In short, this is a very tasty tea, but how much you enjoy it will depend A LOT on your expectations. If you were hoping for something that's only a few steps off cocoa/hot chocolate - which is what I imagined when I first discovered the idea of including chocolate chips in a tea - you will probably be disappointed. But if you can clear your mind of pre-conceived ideas of how it SHOULD taste and allow yourself to take it as it is, I think you will find it a very enjoyable tea. However, despite what you'd think from the concept of chocolate chip tea, I do NOT suggest it for a dessert tea unless the dessert also emphasizes very dark, low-sugar-content chocolate, or else if you add honey or evaporated cane juice to it to sweeten it. Do not expect it to be particularly sweet on its own!
I love chocolate, so I was excited by the idea of this tea. Sadly, I found it pretty underwhelming. It smells great, but the taste is just too mild for me.
Chocolate chip heaven! I love this tea! The taste isn't overpowering, it's just right. When I drank this tea for the first time it reminded me of hot cocoa. Perfect tasting tea. I recommend this tea for the chocolate lover!
A nice relaxing cup with just a modest chocolate flavor. Enjoyed by the whole family. It is on out list to get again which will be soon as we are almost out.
The first time I tried this I think I oversteeped it (about 5-6 minutes), and there was an unpleasant minty aftertaste. The second time, though, I made sure to steep it for only about 3 minutes, and it tasted great! Ideal for the person who likes dessert teas (like me!).
My absolute favorite tea so far! Smooth chocolate flavor and aroma. Flavor is not overpowering or too sweet.
This one was a total surprise! I really enjoy this one with some cream and sugar...it is almost like a coffee without what I call is the 'burnt taste' of coffee. This one is definitely going on my reorder list.
I am going to be ordering a full bag of this tea because it is so delicious. I brew it exactly as it says on the package using my electric tea kettle with temperature gauge. It comes out so delicious and tastes just like chocolate.
