★★★★★

Completely delicious. Really does taste like chocolate and strawberries.

★★★☆☆

The blend tastes alright, not good enough for me to buy it again though.

★★★★★

This is a great example of a lovely basic tea enhanced in just the right way to make it special. It smells nice and toasty in the bag, and I brewed it as suggested, and it turned out great. It brews up a pretty burnt caramel color, has a nice, deep, and slightly fruity fragrance, and tastes lovely on it's own. A very nice black tea, with just a hint of chocolate strawberry, almost like a memory. I added a squirt of organic chocolate sauce and it became magical. Highly recommend this blend all year round.

I had doubts about it but then it came and I found it to be a most excellent choice! It does taste like a chocolate covered strawberries and it has a rosy after taste. A splash of cream really makes it sing.

An ok tea but not my thing. I keep trying the teas with chocolate in them hoping I'll like them anyway but I have yet to find a version of chocolate I like.

A little to chocolate-y for my taste, but smells like pure heaven. I do not use sugar in my tea but I feel like this one needs it.

★★★★★

Chocolate and strawberry in a cup together what could get better!

It's a great tea for a quiet moment. The chocolate and strawberry flavors are well balanced. I could use a bit more strawberry, but I have to admit that I love the way the the slightly bitter (like dark chocolate) chocolate taste floods my taste buds and leaves a pleasant aftertaste. This won't be an everyday tea for me, but I can see it being something that I'll crave every now and again. Worth a try for anyone who appreciates chocolate covered strawberries.

I used to work at a tea room that served this tea. When it closed, this was one of the things I missed most. When I stumbled on it on this site, I was so excited! I bought an entire pound. I'm having a Valentine's Day tea party, and I can't wait to serve it to all my friends! It smells amazing and tastes just as good when brewed. dark, sweet, and slightly fruity, with great balance. Could drink a pot a day without getting tired of it.

I love this! I have absolutely no idea why I didn't try this sooner because it has so many notes I love -- especially chocolate and rose -- but now that I've finally given it a go it has become one of my favourite adagio teas. The strawberry is sweet and fruity without being overbearing and the whole tea is incredibly well blended. J'adore!

★★★★☆

I really enjoyed the mild taste of chocolate and strawberries in this tea. A great Valentine's day gift for tea lovers!

★★★★☆

I like the flavor of the chocolate and strawberries. Very nice mix

★★★★★

This is seriously the BEST tea I have ever had! With a touch of cream on a cold day it is heaven!

This tea has a wonderful smell when first opening the container. The tea is lighter with a nice chocolate strawberry aftertaste that is very sweet. I would not steep it over three minutes though otherwise the tea can get a tad bitter and overpower the taste of the stawberries and chocolate.

★★★★☆

The smell is very sweet and chocolatey. It would make a great potpourri! As for the taste, it's mild and slightly sweet. I would drink this in the evening during dessert.

This is by far one of my favorite teas! It tastes like roses and chocolate and happiness! Seriously, just try it.

★★★★★

So delicious! It's sweet and fruity and chocolatey all at once, and a lovely comforting blend for the middle of winter.

★★★★★

This tea is such a GREAT FLAVOR of strawberries and chocolate, not overpowering on either, a perfect blend of each flavor! LOVE THIS TEA, try it, its unexpectedly good!

So I used to hate tea. Like the mere smell of it made me want to gag. However, I've recently discovered the glory that is Japanese or Hong Kong milk tea - where you mix condensed milk with really strong tea. Oh. My. God. It was really delicious. I felt like crying, 'All the wasted years!'. This was a fantastic introduction to tea for me. The flavor of black tea is growing on me, I always just thought it tasted like hot water, but now I can appreciate the flavor mixed in with the Chocolate and Strawberry. The flavors aren't too overpowering, much more subtle then they smell. But they all blend together nicely, and your breath will smell like you've been indulging in Valentine's chocolates. I have yet to try it iced, but I'm looking forward to it.

I was a little skeptical at first, but decided to try a sample with my last order. This stuff is amazing! Smooth, sweet, and fragrant without being too overpowering. So good for a sweet treat any time of the day.

★★★☆☆

It tastes and smells exactly like chocolate covered strawberries, but it was not to my taste since it's technically a watered down taste.

★★★★☆

Very nice basic blend, good with cream. Becoming one of my go-to teas.

★★★☆☆

I was a little let down by this tea. It's good, but not quite what I would have imagined. The strawberry flavor is very subtle, and it has a more floral taste to it as well rather than chocolate. It smells great though. I'll have to experiment around a bit more with it to see if I can bring out more flavor.

I absolutely love this tea! Even my friends who don't like tea love it! It smells great and actually tastes like chocolate covered strawberries.

This tea is wonderful. It smells and tastes heavenly. I was afraid that it would taste too chocolatey, but the strawberry and chocolate really balance out and taste great together.

★★★☆☆

The smell was a little overpowering. It tasted a bit better with some half and half. I really wanted to like this one but it didn't work out so well with my taste buds.

★★★★★

this smells amazing out of the bag. but when the tea was brewed, chocolate was the dominant flavor. regardless, I will be buying again.

★★★☆☆

Well, the smell straight from the bag is absolutely delicious- exactly like chocolate covered strawberries. I got this tea as a sample and while the tea has a pleasant enough taste, it's not something I would buy a full bag of.

Tastes exactly like chocolate covered strawberries! This is another one I was skeptical about trying but it's delicious, I'd definitely order more!

The first chocolate tea I have ever tried. It is fantastic! Tastes just like a chocolate covered strawberry. Obsessed. Definitely purchasing a 5oz bag because my sample size won't last long!

Wonderfully chocolatey and fruity. I bought a different brand of Chocolate Strawberry tea to compare and it doesn't even come close. This tea is delicious just as it is for a bedtime or dessert tea.

★★★★☆

This is a very flavorful tea, reminiscent of a chocolate-covered strawberry. The name 'Valentines' suits it, as it definitely reminds me of Valentine's Day

★★★★☆

The aroma is delightful and decadent, truly like smelling a chocolate-covered strawberry. The tea goes well with a little sugar or honey to enhance the sweetness, however

This is a very pleasant little dessert tea! The strawberry and chocolate flavours are balanced well and not overpowering. I like this best with honey and milk.

This tastes just like chocolate covered strawberries. I would buy this again. I think it might satisfy my chocolate cravings and help me eat less calories - always a good thing!

I brewed a teaspoon of loose tea with our Keurig and the tea turned out wonderful. I enjoyed the flavor, it was pleasant without leaving an aftertaste. Next time I will prolly try 2 teaspoons to make the tea a bit stronger (to my preference). You could really taste the chocolate with a hint of strawberry.

★★★★★

This tea gives me a warm feeling eat time I have it. Like having a celebration in the morning for no other reason than to be glad for another day!

The Valentines aroma is chocolate covered fruit. While steeping you can smell the strawberries. This is my go to dessert tea!

★★★★☆

Not bad at all, but the taste of chocolate in tea (while not strong in this blend) is odd to me. Not bad for a dessert tea, though.

★★★★★

This is one of two teas that I absolutely adore and will NEVER run out of. I love this tea--though the floral rose petal scent and taste slightly overpowers the fruit/chocolate, it works out surprisingly well. A touch of heavy cream and sugar makes this a perfect dessert tea. Would make an excellent Valentines Day gift, too. (Just be sure to get the 3oz and not the sample, I went through my sample too fast!)

loved this one. I actually downed one cup so fast I had to go make another! I like that it tastes as it sounds, you get the strawberry and the chocolate, but not a sickly sweet tea. So good

★★★★★

Really wonderful - the chocolate was more subtle than I expected, but perfect when hot or iced.

★★★★★

Very, very good! Right off the bat, I will let you know that this tea is the best smelling tea I have ever experienced. The roses petals are partially responsible for that, I am sure. Once brewed, it gets to a dark amber color, but not too dark, and is very sweet. I'm not sure if I can pick out the strawberry independently of the other flavors but it all blends together in such a manner that work a lot better than I was actually anticipating. All in all, it's a delicious dessert tea I will love to have every night if I can!

★★★★☆

When I first opened and smelled this tea, I was absolutely overwhelmed by the strong smell of chocolate. It was totally overpowering and I was concerned the taste would be similar. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the chocolate is less pronounced once the tea is brewed. It has a very authentic chocolate strawberry flavor without overpowering the tea. As someone else mentioned, it's definitely reminiscent of strawberry hookah. I'll definitely be ordering more of this tea, but it won't be an every day drink for me.

It's an alright cup of tea. It's not very disappointing but it's not something I'd want to drink every day.

You can definitely taste the chocolate and strawberry, but its taste is much gentler, which is expected. Still extremely delicious.

★★★★☆

Wow this tea is amazing. The scent is true to the chocolate strawberry discription. The tea itself has a mellow chocolate taste. My second cup was with sugar and a little coconut milk. It was divine!! Sooo...I keep drinking this tea because I accidentally got two samples. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not at all. :(

More chocolate like flavor than anything else. I don't get the fruit flavor in it.

It smells just like chocolate-covered strawberries..without the sugar!

Compared to other black tea, this tea gets bitter fast. Use lower water temperature and don't steep it for too long.
