Sweet and floral really works, it's warm and soothing and smells amazing both in the bag and as it steeps.
Deliciously combines the luxurious flavor of fresh-dipped chocolate-covered strawberries with the taste of premium Ceylon black tea.

Sweet and floral really works, it's warm and soothing and smells amazing both in the bag and as it steeps.
At first, I loved this particular tea. I think it tastes like a box of valentine chocolate. It is a little sweet for me though, so it's not one I would drink regularly.
Love this tea. Really helps curb a sweet tooth after lunch.
Two of my favorite things are strawberry and chocolate. Another one of my favorite things is tea. So this is three of my favorite things all together. It's a wonder I haven't exploded from all the awesome. Also, I like reaching for this tea whenever I have a chocolate/sugary craving but don't want the extra calories. :D
This is hands down one of my favorite teas! Perfect with a little bit of milk to bring out the creaminess of the chocolate!
I was surprised and enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
The flavor is good, but slightly disappointing since the smell of the tea is much stronger than the taste. It's over all good but the chocolate really doesn't come through.
This is not quite what I was expecting. Not nearly as chocolatey as I was hoping, so I was kinda let down by that. I mostly get the floral/fruit notes. Pleasant, but not exactly what I wanted.
This tea is a real treat! It's almost like dessert. The aroma and flavor make you feel like you're having a sinful snack.
Absolutely heavenly. I add cream to mine and it's like dipping the chocolate covered strawberries in whipped cream.
This tea had flavors reminiscent of a chocolate covered strawberry. The black tea was very good, but the strawberry flavor was a bit artificial and overpowering over the chocolate.
Whats not to like about chocolate strawberries?! Its got a rich chocolate flavor. Also love the resealable bags the tea comes in. Fast shipment.
Me and my fiancee love this tea with a little bit of sweetener. It really brings out the sweetness of the chocolate and strawberry. making the taste of a chocolate covered strawberry even better. A perfect blend to have for valentines day! I also love the way the tea smells just from the package, the aroma is so inviting and delicious, I wish I could have it as a scent for my whole apartment.
This was my wild card buy, I was very unsure and curious about this blend as I have never had chocolate in my tea before. Not only does this tea smell like chocolate covered strawberries its tastes like them. My boyfriend is very excited to try this as well.
It was not bad, but I was not a huge fan of the chocolate taste in the tea. Maybe if I add sugar I would enjoy it more.
Dark, a bit fruity, but bitter. I like it in blends but on its own it's not a cup I would drink often.
Strange. I can't decide if I like this tea or not. Maybe stick to strawberries and chocolate on the side, and drink ceylon instead.
The name itself makes me love it... but then i smell all the different flavors this tea has and it has me addicted!
This stuff is awesome! I kept going into the kitchen every few minutes to take a whiff. it's totally addicting. Think of Godiva's fresh strawberries dipped in creamy chocolate. Yum! And the rose petals are so beautiful!
Update: Still a favorite, years later!
I was pleasantly surprised that it did not taste artificial in flavor. If Valentines Day were a cup of chocolate-covered strawberry tea, this would be it!
This is a pretty good tea. It's not as cloyingly sweet as it smelled when I opened the pouch, which was a nice surprise- the chocolate, strawberry and rose flavors are all present, but not overpowering.
Upon opening the bag, I thought I'd been buried alive in an avalanche of chocolate-covered strawberries- not a bad way to go. It retains its delicious aroma after steeping, but isn't as sweet as it smells. I added some sugar to try to make the strawberry flavor 'pop' more and it was way too sweet, so I think I'll add less next time. It might be good with cream, too. This is a very pleasant blend that I'd probably order again.
A friend of mine was raving over this tea so I definitely had to try it for myself and I was not at all disappointed. When they say it tastes like chocolate covered strawberries, they really mean it.
I can not get enough of this tea. It's just fruity and just chocolaty enough. The flavors balance each other gorgeously and makes a simple cup of tea taste like something utterly decadent.
Surprisingly good. The strawberry note was a little artificial (think a strawberry hard candy) but it was certainly interesting overall. It'd probably make a nice dessert tea with cream and sugar, but even black it's interesting enough to be a conversation piece. I can't say I'll be buying more of it, but I'll happily finish the sample.
This will likely become one of my favorite teas. It smelled great, smells great when brewed, and tastes amazing. The accents just add even more dazzle to this tea. There really is nothing wrong with this tea. Just buy some. you won't be disappointed (unless you don't like chocolate).
The first thing you'll notice about this tea is the smell - it hits you as soon as you open the bag and really smells exactly like chocolate covered strawberries. I was drooling just from the smell. The tea didn't quite deliver on the taste, but it was good. Usually I take my tea with honey, but I prefer this tea with sugar. The sugar really helped to bring out the strawberry notes of the tea and a small amount of milk softened the chocolate. The second cup was infinitely better than the first, but I still couldn't reconcile the strong chocolate-covered strawberry smell with the mild taste. I enjoy the tea, but it isn't something I would make a habit of buying.
This is a pretty subtle tea. I agree with everyone else that it does taste more or less like it smells, which is chocolatey, floral, and with a hint of strawberry. The aroma is great and the flavors work well. I can definitely see myself drinking more of this in the future.
The first few times I tried the tea I was not too impressed. However, reducing the steeping time down to 4 minutes and adding some sugar and cream creates a dreamy, delicious dessert tea that kills my sweet cravings. Would highly recommend to chocolate lovers!
I enjoyed it. Even without a sweetener added, it tastes sweet (but not overly so). Resteeps nicely. I would order this again, but I do not think it will be a regular purchase. Perhaps once a year for a change of pace. I highly recommend buying at least a sample size to see for yourself.
One of my all time favorites. a perfect chocolate covered strawberry with a nice floral undernote.
Great for cold mornings. Chocolatey with a hint of strawberry. Just right in my book.
you can really taste the chocolate and strawberries. i sweeten slightly and its sooo good!!!
I loved the way it smelled in the bag. The taste after brewing, however, was only so-so. It had a very light chocolatey taste and just a faint berry taste. I would have loved more of both. I probably won't get it again as there are other teas with chocolate in it that I like much more.
very good mix of chocolate, caramel, and strawberry.
I love this tea! I got a sample pack and I can't wait to buy more! It smells just like chocolate covered strawberries. It's named perfectly.
Very luxurious tea blend. A real treat - good dessert tea. All around pleaser.
The smell of this is out-of-this-world amazing--exactly like a dark-chocolate submerged strawberry. The flavor is mostly of a really good bittersweet chocolate bar, but with an underlying hint of strawberry that's delicate and delicious. This tea is amazing. It's delicious and distinctive, a low-fat alternative to cocoa. I definitely recommend it.
I've tried quite a few blends, but this one is my favorite. It was the first tea I ordered from adagio, and I have a feeling I'm going to keep coming back for more.
Chocolate has become a favorite flavor of mine...which is sorta interesting. I'm not a HUGE fan of chocolate. But throw some strawberries into the mix and BRAVO - Good Stuff!
This is my favorite. I bought a whole pound of it out of paranoia that it'll go out of stock again. Hopefully it'll last me a while. <3
I was not sure about this when I bought it but it turned out really good.
A nice treat, glad someone gifted me this blend, it surprised me, good black blend.
Lovely - mellow and the chocolate-covered strawberry taste really does come through. I like this one in the early afternoon.
This tea is incredibly delicious. Chocolate is the dominant flavor, while the strawberry is somewhat less pronounced. It manages to very closely mimic the taste of a chocolate strawberry, and with a bit of milk, it's fantastic.
The first time I made this tea I was unfortunately suffering from a migraine...and while the smell was just amazing I couldn't bring myself to drink any. I had to wait for the weather to not be disgustingly hot to try any of my teas again, and finally the day has come where I am in a tea mood. The chocolate scent is absolutely intoxicating. I may have steeped it a little too long, because the black tea flavor is taking over the more subtle strawberry, but that doesn't bother me. The chocolate with the black tea is lovely, and while they are overpowering I can still taste a bit of the strawberry and it works so well. Unfortunately I only had a sample of this and I just used it up with this cup. :( I may have to get an entire bag or look for blends with this tea as a prominent addition!
This tea smells fantastic. It finishes off nicely, just sweet enough that it's pleasant without sugar.
I was surprised, because chocolate teas generally aren't my favorite, but this one is lovely - the chocolate and strawberry do blend together nicely. It is a stronger tea, and mixing with cream does make it even nicer.
This is most definitely my favorite tea. It smells amazing and I love opening the package. The smell is just so divine that I will happily admit to simply standing and smelling for a while. The taste is amazing. It has a great, slightly sweet taste. I love the slight hint of chocolate, rose, and strawberry. It's my go to comfort tea with a touch of sugar and milk.
It tastes like chocolate strawberries in a cup! What is this witchcraft?
