it tastes as good as it smells!! Of course the strawberry is the best part. Could use more chocolate flavor.
Deliciously combines the luxurious flavor of fresh-dipped chocolate-covered strawberries with the taste of premium Ceylon black tea.

Very special tea. It does remind you of strwaberries with chocolate. But it's not too tart at the same time. Will definitely get it again.
I love this tea. It smells good both in the tin and after it has been brewed. (I have to admit that I take a deep whiff of this tea each time I open the tin!) The hints of chocolate and strawberry are perfect--not overwhelming, not too subtle. For me this tea brews best at four to four and a half minutes at the standard 212 degrees. I will definitely be ordering this again.
It delivers a hint of chocolate strawberry flavor, but doesn't overwhelm. Can be bitter if brewed too hot. Only good for one infusion.
This has got to be my new FAVORITE tea. I absolutely adore it. It is perfect for Valentines Day, but I think I may be drinking it year round.
I buy the large bags of this stuff. Every time I brew this, my roommates complement the aroma it gives off in the kitchen (while I brew a large pot of it for iced tea!) It's good hot too.
This is a good tea if you like a fruity taste with your chocolate. It really does taste like chocolate covered strawberries. I think I would like it a little more if the chocolate was increased and the strawberry decreased a bit. But it is still very good.
I love this delicious, chocolatey tea -- it's especially great when paired with something bland, like oatmeal.
I originally got the libra tea as a free sample and found out that it's basically the same as valentines. The chocolatey sweetness makes it a really great dessert tea.
I think you can taste the chocolate-strawberry flavor better when it's not piping hot. It is a nice cup of tea, but I don't know if I'll order it again.
The subtle notes of strawberry, chocolate and rose are just perfect for an afternoon cup. I usually am not fond of flavored teas, but really love this variety.
I was really excited about this tea. I tasted more of the chocolate than anything. Was hoping for a little more strawberry.
The flavor is better at covering the disappointing, fruity cardboard ceylon base than most of the other flavors. Still, not great.
This was delicious. It tasted just like chocolate covered strawberries.
It really does taste vaguely of chocolate covered strawberries, especially sweetened just a little. A very good cup of tea.
When I first tried this tea I didn't taste the chocolate or strawberries, but then a friend reminded me to focus on the black tea itself and let the flavors be accents. I tried this on my 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc cup and I found this tea to be rich, smooth and delicious.
The scent of the dry leaves is almost a completely different experience from the taste of the actual tea - not a bad thing, though, as I was concerned at first that the drink would be far too sweet for me. I found that adding a bit of cream made it perfect and brought out some of the low note flavors as well!
Wonderful taste and smell of chocolate. Probably one of my favorite flavored black teas. All of my guests love it and are impressed when they drink it. Love it in the morning too, it kind of brightens my day
I tried this because it got such good recommendations, but I wasn't really getting all that much flavor from it. My brother tried it and loved it though. Go figure
This tea is great on it's own and also mixed with another! I tried it with my blood orange tea and I was in heaven! I highly recommend this tea to any chocolate lover!
Oh yummy! I loved this sweet (no guilt) tea! It would be fun to blend this one with others.
Tastes exactly like chocolate and strawberries! Smells great too. I like to blend with Cream flavored tea.
I really wanted to like this, but I just taste black tea that smells like chocolate. I should note, however, that I don't seem to have much luck with Adagio's flavored black teas - maybe this would work for someone else.
It was good, but needed to be seeped for longer than instructed
Valentines tastes warm and chocolatey. It has some of the same flavors as Christms. I thought this one was just okay but others might like it more. I just think it maybe wasn't my thing.
Valentines has a floral taste that is pleasing as long as you don't over-do it. It's soothing. I'd recommend it.
A little different than I had anticipated. Still good though ocassionally.
Oh, what a treat on a cold winter's morning. Love it with some milk or soy milk. It is love in a mug.
One of the best flavors I ever tasted! I even ordered two more! Highly recommend.
The strawberry flavor in this was too strong for my liking, so I added some Serenity Now (a wonderful peppermint blend) that I had on hand. I then enjoyed it very much.
This seemed like a good idea, but I couldn't even drink it, it was so bitter. No flavor whatsoever. On the other hand, my mother loved it, so go figure.
It has the chocolate and strawberry I wanted, but the Ceylon base gets to bitter to fast.
It smells amazing, but the taste was awful. I couldn't finish a cup of this. It tasted really fake to me. I prefer Adagio's strawberry tea by itself.
VERY good! Definately recommend. Its nice to drink cuddled up on a cold day.
A little too much chocolate in this one for me. Otherwise, it's well balanced and not too astringent like a number of other chocolate teas I've had.
My three-year-old daughter and I had this for a tea party; she loved it, asking for another cup when hers was gone. I enjoy the smell and thought the flavour was pretty good, too. Will likely reorder.
This tea is wonderful with a bit of sugar to really bring out the flavors of the strawberry and chocolate.This is a wonderful tea to share with someone you care about.
Loved the taste of this, yummy, nearly like a dessert. The caramel makes it a wonderful pairing with something chocolatey.
Smells great, tastes good. More fun than anything.
My absolute favorite! It's not quite chocolate, but the smell is heavenly and with a little sweetner, it's yummy! A must buy if you want the flavor of chocolate without it being too strong.
The chocolate and strawberry flavors come through very well with this tea. Delicious!
I love the richness of this tea. It makes a great afternoon or after dinner tea.
The chocolate and strawberries in this make a classic combination. Very good.
This tea was amazing! It really did taste like chocolate covered strawberries. My only warning would be that it can easily become oversteeped and bitter so I wouldn't steep for much longer than the suggested 5mins.
Very good chocolate flavor.
Great with milk or cream.
Naturally sweet.
i had forgotten about valentines tea until recently. it's a great 3PM at work tea. hints of sweetness without actually eating any sugar.
i ordered a sample of it .. its ok.. not good.. juz not my cup of tea ...
The flavor of this tea is subtle but it's there. It doesn't taste strongly of chocolate or strawberries, but ... Imagine taking a bite of a chocolate-covered strawberry and then taking a sip of black tea. That subtle mingling is the flavor of this tea. I find it just fine without sugar or milk, but the addition of one or both wouldn't hurt either. A very enjoyable tea!
This tea really tastes like chocolate covered strawberries. It's become one of my favorites - I love it! I have been having a cup of this every evening and really enjoying it.
Delicious tea! I do wish the flavor was a tiny bit stronger, but if you sweeten and add some milk, it's perfect. I'd completely recommend this, and I'm probably going to buy a large order of this next time. I am so glad I decided to try this out.
