Another tea that I really don't need to add anything to! Hints of chocolate that I wasn't sure I was going to like add depth to this black tea blend. In reading other reviews, I really don't notice the strawberry flavor as much as other tea lovers, but the tea is still very enjoyable.
I'm sure this is someone's cup of tea (badum tssss) but I don't really like how the rose in it tastes.
This tea is delicious. It really does smell like chocolate covered strawberries. The taste is a bit more subdued than the scent, but this is the first fruit flavored tea I have had that wasn't too overpowering.
A very nice dessert tea. Captures the flavor of a chocolate dipped strawberry nicely, but is a lighter tea than I expect from something that is supposed to be decadent. Wait! We figured something out: The rose petals make it taste like you accidentally ate some of the green at the top of the berry!
Loved this tea a lot! So fragrant, rich. Really good with desserts.
Loved it.
This is a delicious tea. The perfect tea for Valentine's Day.
Definitely smells of strawberries and chocolate. The flavor is more subtle than the smell, however you can still taste both the chocolate and strawberries - not an overwhelming tea. Subtle and sweet.
I love this blend of flavors. A bit of romance in a cup
It does, indeed, smell and taste like a chocolate strawberry. The chocolate taste is strongest, but the strawberry holds its own. I'm always leery with anything strawberry flavored since it usually ends up tasting like the strawberries were grown on the grounds of a chemical processing plant. Not so here. The strawberries actually taste like strawberries. (The schnozzberries are another matter). Not as much rose smell or flavor as I'd expected, but that's fine. With my usual addition of a little cream and sugar, a lovely sweet cup.
The smell when it was brewing was fantastic, but the result was kind of weak. I like my black teas really strong, though, so I'll likely add more tea in my next brewing to see if that brings out the flavors better.
The other reviews said it well. you open the bag and the aroma of chocolate covered strawberries slaps you in the face(in a good way). Unfortunately for me that's probably the best thing about thins blend. On the second steep I tried it with milk and sugar and that seemed to bring out some of the flavor but overall I was pretty underwhelmed.
I was surprised how much I liked this, as I got it on a whim and mostly don't care for berry teas. This tea was so good though. Great little treat in the afternoon.
A little overwhelmingly chocolate...I guess I should have expected that, but I would much rather eat real chocolate than drink chocolate flavored water. Not bad, but not something I would order again.
I'm not much of a dark chocolate fan, so I guess I should have known better. The dark chocolate is a nice flavor in it, but just not my style. When I put in some milk, it reminded me of hot chocolate.
Just like chocolate covered strawberries. Add some cream and it's perfect! I'll definitely reorder.
I usually don't like chocolate- flavored teas but this one is an exception. I added a little bit of milk to it and it was very good.
Delicious! Nice natural Chocolate and strawberry tea. Definitely an everyday indulgence :)
This tea was okay. It definitely smells like a chocolate covered strawberry, but I could only taste the chocolate. I was hoping to taste some of the strawberry that I could smell. I enjoy it with a bit of cream and sugar now, but I probably won't buy it again.
Smells much like chocolate in the bag, but like chocolate and strawberries once brewed. Smells sort of like coffee, too. Tastes like strawberries and chocolate,as expected. Doesn't taste as good as it smells, but it's still quite nice.
I was so excited to try this tea! Chocolate Covered Strawberries? What could be better? I got my order in today, and I smelled it and was totally surprised as per how it smelled. It smelled very strange and funky to me. However, when I tried it, I was pleasantly surprised. It was really good! I could definitely taste the hints of chocolate and strawberry. I'm very excited to try the other teas I ordered!
I prefer the combination of strawberry, vanilla, and rose, as the vanilla enhances the others, while the chocolate dominates them. That said, you can't have valentines without chocolate, and the chocolate/strawberry/rose combo is perfectly seasonal for late winter. I prefer it to the other chocolate tea blends I've tried, so if you enjoy chocolate tea, it's worth trying.
Nice smell, but the flavor was not has expected after smelling it. Still a good flavor and worth the try.
It has a very strong scent of cordial cherries, although It's not overpowering. The cordial cherry scent stays around even when brewed, just not as strong. The taste is bitter but has a very strong chocolate flavor, like unsweetened dark chocolate. I also pick up the strawberries. With sugar it tastes just like a chocolate dipped strawberry. Overall I really enjoy this tea, and I prefer it sweetened. I will definitely get this again.
Too candy-fruity for me. If you're not big on fruity teas, don't go for this.
This tea is both comforting and exotic in its composition. With its fruity smells and smooth chocolate flavor it is easily my favorite tea thus far.
Quite delicious. the chocolatey-ness was delicious with the strawberries. The only downside to this tea would be that it leaves a tart aftertaste after drinking.
Normally I don't go for anything 'chocolate,' but it was recommended highly by my auntie. This tea smells good, very much like a chocolate covered strawberry. I steeped as recommended (3 minutes) and did not get much flavor, so I continued to steep quite a bit longer. It has a light, but pleasant chocolate taste -- a bit artificial, but still good. I didn't taste much of the strawberry flavor. It leaves a nice aftertaste. It'll be a good tea when I have a sweet tooth.
The rosey strawberry flavor is the most prominent.I would have liked a bit more chocolate. Eating some chocolate chips with this one was definitely a good idea.
Add a little agave nectar and you have a liquid desert
I really enjoyed this complex beverage comprised of black tea, roses, and chocolate covered strawberries. So fragrant and savory, but so very sweet. Drink it. Now.
This is a very bold and sweet tea. I like the chocolate flavoring and it reminds me a lot of the chocolate sampler boxes.
I've never used the word 'sexy' to describe a tea before, but that is the best word for it. The smell is very similar to high priced chocolate covered strawberries. The flavor is a little more subtle than the scent would suggest, but cream and sugar brings it out nicely.
This sounds like an excellent combination, but when brewed as suggested,I got what seemed to be a rather bland tea with a bit of a chemical aftertaste. About two-thirds of my way into the cup, the aftertaste faded and I was left with a very light-textured and light-tasting black tea.
Sweet, but not too sweet. Doesn't need any cream or sugar in my opinion.
True to its word, this does taste like chocolate dipped strawberries, and it's all the better for it. A great flavored blend that's sweet and sensual.
Wowzah! This tea smells pretty in the bag, but the scent of the leaves does not betray the powerful flavor they contain. It's amazing how well the strawberry and chocolate is balanced. I thought this tea would be overpoweringly sweet, but it does taste very much like a fresh, chocolate covered strawberry. Delightful with cream and sugar. definitely a dessert tea!
I really enjoyed this tea! The flavors are well-balanced and smooth, and it goes excellently with a dash of milk and sugar.
Me and my husband had a Tea tasting Day, This one smells great when you open the bag. I thoroughly enjoyed it but as it cools the black tea kind of bites your tongue so a spoonful of honey to a 16oz teapot and it brings out the flavor of the chocolate and smooths out the bite from the black tea.
Oh, this is lovely! I taste the strawberry and rose but wish I could taste more chocolate. It smells divine! Great with milk and sugar.
I'm a huge fan of rose flavored black teas, and this one is great! the chocolate notes and others accents make it a awesome evening tea.
Delicious! This tea tastes like chocolate-covered strawberries. Absolutely wonderful with just a bit of sweetener.
I opened the bag and immediately I fell in love. It was a powerful entrancing scent that I had to take a moment and enjoy before I even made a cup. Brewed though it was a bit odd, interesting but odd. As soon as I added a bit of milk and sugar though, it was decadent and tasted just like biting into a real chocolate covered strawberry. I will certainly need more of this one!
Valentines tastes just as good as it smells, and boy does it smell good. The line doesn't lie when it says 'chocolate covered strawberries.' As an avid light tea drinker, I must admit I was a little hesitant to try something dark. However, my fears were eased after that first experience with scent, and my mouth watered almost immediately. I would feel safe in admitting that I'd turn to this when looking for something out of my usual tastes.

I'm actually quite surprised by how much I liked this tea. I wasn't a huge fan of the strawberry, and prefer the chocolate mixed with other teas, but I find that these two flavors go great together. Quite sweet!
I thought people were joking when they said that it tasted like chocolate covered strawberries, but clearly they weren't and I'm glad for that!
I love this tea. Strawberry and chocolate: how could it be anything but wonderful? Don't let the name fool you - it's yummy year-round.
It taste just how its described. It was good. Perfect for desert.
It's not terrible but I generally prefer my tea to have a little more flavor.
I thought the smell of the tea was really nice, but I couldn't really taste any chocolate or strawberry.
