★★★★★

Delicious scent drawing you into a wonderful cup. This tea captures the flavor of a true wild strawberry perfectly carried on top of cocoa. I taste the 'accents' far more than the black tea base but the tea is certainly there. Sweet but not overpoweringly so. A tea to be sipped, giving it the chance to show off its full flavor profile. Yummy!

★★☆☆☆

Not a fan at all of this tea. It didn't seem like it had much of a taste, but the aftertaste left my mouth feeling gross. Not for everyone.

★★★★☆

For me the chocolate in the Valentines tea is a little bit over powering, but good. Next time I make it I am going to add some strawberry tea to it.

★★★★★

It is sinfully good. The BAG smells of chocolate and strawberries. It is so great with book and quilt to curl up with.

★★★★★

This really does taste like chocolate-covered strawberries, and it was a delightful surprise just how wonderful it smelled as well.

★★★★☆

It really did not smell to good when in the package, but when made it tastes pretty good.

★★★★★

Possibly my favorite tea - tastes like real strawberries and chocolate. I have a sweet tooth and I find that a spoonful of sugar brings out both flavors beautifully. Be careful not to steep it for too long, though, or the black tea flavor could overpower the rest.

★★★★★

I sent it to a friend for her birthday/valentine's day and she absolutely loved it.

★★★★★

Tastes incredible, just like chocolate covered strawberries. Best valentines gift ever!

We love this tea in our house! The strawberry is stronger than the chocolate but they combine for the perfect combination!

★★★☆☆

I had high hopes for this after opening the bag to an intoxicating smell of chocolate and strawberries. Unfortunately, the flavor wasn't nearly as apparent and was a little bitter. I'll continue to experiment with my sample to see if I can get a better cup

I was really excited to try this tea - the descriptions that I read were so positive! Unfortunately, it tasted just too artificial, even for a flavored tea.

I liked this tea alot! It`s not something I want to drink everyday, but it`s a perfect sweet treat for Valentine`s day!

★★★★★

Really incredible smell! Smells just like opening a box of chocolate covered strawberries. Taste is subtle but soooo delicious.

★★★★★

I really enjoy this tea. The strawberry flavor is perfect, but the chocolate needs a little cream and sugar to really shine. Overall, a great tea!

I really enjoyed this - very subtle, but the strawberry tastes like real berry, not fake flavoring. Would have like chocolate taste a wee bit stronger. Scent is fabulous. Will buy again.

★★★☆☆

This was okay as a black tea but I did not taste any chocolate or strawberry flavors. The container smelled wonderful, but the cup I brewed turned out very bitter. Tried to brew a second time with a little more tea in it, but still nothing good. I bought the 16 oz bag so I still have tons left for experimenting.

At first I wasn't so sure about this one. I'm not much for flavors, but it's a strong black tea that leaves a refreshing strawberry taste in your mouth with just a hint of decadent chocolate. It's not one of those flavored teas that is overly sweet and artificial

★★★★★

wow! i can't even explain this one. just amazing. very weird though because its like drinking a chocolate covered strawberry, but soo good.

★★☆☆☆

Not a fan - the strawberry flavor tastes very artificial. I'll finish it, but I wouldn't order it again.

This stuff is amazing--it actually tastes like chocolate-covered strawberries! I add one Splenda and a dash of soymilk and drink it for dessert.

This is one of my favorite 'instead of dessert' tea blends. Yum!

★★★★★

I went for 1 lb since it's on sale and I'm so glad I did. Smells just like chocolate covered strawberries, and tastes delicious.

★★★★★

This is delish! Watching what I've been eating has been hard, since I'm a chocoholic... But this tea has just what I'm missing!

★★★★★

Exceptionally delicious! Sweet and fruity with a kind of a nutty undertone to the chocolate -- if you like dessert tea, you like this flavor.

★★☆☆☆

It's supposed to be Chocolate and strawberry flavor, but I dont really taste much but black tea. The tea doesnt taste bad, but I gave it 2 stars because I didnt taste any of the flavor it claimed to have. But really, so far, none of the black tea I have tried seem to work out with me.
I've tried: Mango, Cream, Blueberry, Chocolate chip, Valentines, Lemon Soleil, And Pomengranate.

★★★☆☆

If only this tea tasted as good as it smells! I am usually let down by chocolate teas because I expect the chocolate flavor to be more intense. That is what happened here, this tea smells soo good and I expected the flavor to be the exact same as the smell, but it was much more subtle. Not a bad tea, just not as flavorful and I would have liked.

★★★☆☆

I wasn't a big fan of this flavor, to me it was too artificial tasting. I can see where people would like it but the chocolate taste was to strange of an aftertaste for my liking

★★★★☆

Another tea that I like to give as a gift. I enjoyed it as well, although it's been awhile.

★★★★☆

A good tea, although the smell seems to be stronger than the taste.

★★★★★

I love this tea. It makes a wonderful treat. And the smell is AMAZING.

★★★☆☆

I was really looking forward to this one I was mildly disappointed.It was ok but all that I had read I thought I found a new favorite,but alas it missed its mark.Don't get me wrong it has a nice flavor but found something lacking.I would tell you to try it you will enjoy it and make your own decision.

★★★★☆

The artificial chocolate type of smell is strong, but really, tastes great. Some sugar for this one, and it makes for a nice dessert tea.

★★★★☆

This tea was pretty good. I'm not sure what I was expecting when I purchased it...perhaps something sweeter? I think I will probably try the chocolate covered strawberry next! :)

★★★★★

Smells like chocolate and strawberries in the pouch. after brewed the smells are not strong and overpowering. Tastes like strawberries.

★★★★★

This tastes and smells so amazingly close of chocolate and strawberries. It's one of my go-to teas.

★★★★☆

this si going to be great. I hope it is as good as it sounds...

★★★★☆

Really quite good. Very smooth black tea with the distinct flavor of chocolate-covered strawberries (not even just chocolate and strawberries, but chocolate-covered strawberries! How?). Very enjoyable.

I'll note that I steeped it well beyond the recommended time and did not find it bitter in the slightest, or overpoweringly strong. It seemed to work quite well, in fact.

Just rec'd my pkg today. Very excited to try this one. Not terrible but not incredibly awesome. Going to try again with a dash of cream and sugar.

★★★★☆

This tea kind of confuses me. The first few sips, I didn't really care for it. Now I'm getting a really comforting flavor that reminds me of strawberry flavored milk. I don't taste much chocolate. Probably not a tea I would drink on a regular basis, but I don't regret buying it. Prepared with almond milk and stevia.

★★★★★

Definitely like a delicate taste of a chocolate dipped strawberry! Fun to sip without the calories.

★★★★☆

The combination of strawberry and chocolate is quite full bodied. A nice change from black tea.

★★★★★

This is my favorite tea from Adagio. The chocolate and strawberry taste merge wonderfully together. The visual appearance of this tea is beautiful.

★★★★★

A hands down favorite. I waited quite a while for this one to come back in stock, and I was definitely not disappointed. Light but satisfying flavor in the strawberry and chocolate, and a beautiful presentation with the rose petals. Now to decide how much more to buy...

The smell of this tea from the moment you open it is so wonderful! The name fits it perfectly and it is a great substitute to the usual chocolates you get on Valentines day. Great flavor, a good all round tea!

Perfect for the sweet tooth! Needs nothing, but really great with a little bit of honey.

★★★★☆

Good rich flavor,great with chocolate.I think this is one of my fave's.

★★★★★

I admit that I was very skeptical about chocolate flavored tea, but I was delightfully impressed with my first taste. I love to have it in the afternoon when I need a break from the chaos of work.

★★★☆☆

This really did nothing for me. I see all these reviews saying it really does taste like chocolate covered strawberries...but I'd almost like to see a measurement added to their reviews so I could see how much tea they used per cup. It just didn't ring that bell for me - chocolatey OR strawberry.
I used 1 tsp per cup, myself.

Very nice, sweet, subtle flavor. Not as good as Libra, but it'll do.
