This is great. It smells like hot cocoa in the pouch and tastes almost like it once it's brewed. I think, if I were to brew it double strong and then add milk and sugar it would taste exactly like hot cocoa. (I say that because I did all of those things except the double strong and it tastes like watery hot cocoa. In a surprisingly not-awful way.)

Interesting flavor. I really like this one hot with some almond milk.
★★★★☆
Makes a nice dessert tea when you're craving something a bit sweet. Good, but not something I'll ever want to drink every day.
★★★★★
Yum! This is great, nutty, and chocolaty. I look forward to drinking it on a cold morning.

Chocolate essence is subtle, but the nuttiness is strong, not overpowering. Very pleasant blend!
★★★★★
SO GOOD. I'm not even sure how to describe how good it is - the smell of it is exactly what it tastes like. Nutty and a little bit chocolate-y and just the right amount of flavor. Just perfect.
★★★★☆
Overall good, though not as strong of a chocolate taste as I've had in other teas from Adagio.
★★★★☆
VERY good! even better than my morning mate at that other place!

One of my favorites as a coffee substitute in the morning
★★★★☆
Not bad, although I honestly can be picky with nutty flavors, even with chocolate.

Surprisingly delicious when processed through my Espresso maker!
★★★★★
This is my first time trying this type of tea. I am still a bit unfamiliar with mate tea. This is prefect for a cozy Winter night or to drink in place of a sugary dessert.
★★★☆☆
Not a favorite, but good if you like a nutty chocolate flavor.
★★★★★
If you don't particularly love the bitterness of coffee but love the smell, this tea is for you. I found if I added a couple pinches of sugar to a large mug and a splash of milk, it was warm and had hints of chocolate. Good, strong. Highly recommend.

This reminds me of the teavana matevana, but at half the price! It is chocolate with a distinct mate taste.
★★★★★
Reminds me of a smoother chocolate hazelnut coffee but not bitter and not as heavy. I cant wait to try more of it!
★★★☆☆
Overflowing with nutty roasted flavor. Mate just seems to not be my thing.
★★★★★
I really enjoyed the chocolately flavor of this tea.
★★★★☆
A full-flavoured strong tea that leaves residue if you're not careful. Would prefer some modification that results in a 'cleaner' brew
★★★★☆
I like mate's. I'm not a coffee drinker so mate's are my morning go to. I actually blended this with tea from another company.
★★★★★
Fantastic flavor! I love mocha and nut together, this tea captures it.

★★★☆☆
Not for everyday. Maybe too nutty for me.Not a sweet tea (I do not add sugar or milk in my tea)
★★★★★
One of my favorites, love to drink it at night for dessert.
★★★★★
I've tried mates in the past and was not a big fan, this one however is delicious. It has a high caffiene count too, which is good for me. It almost feels like a dark near-coffee

★★★☆☆
This was ok, nothing like the promise of coffee as a few reviewers mentioned. In fact I found it to be weak.
★★★☆☆
This is an extremely rich cup of tea. If you're in the mood for something dark and very chocolatey, this blend is for you. There was a layer to this blend that I can't put my finger on, almost like damp earth that made this a little odd for me. I added a touch of cream and it became very velvety and more palatable for my tastes. Not a bad blend overall, but not my favorite, something I could drink occasionally when I need something a little richer.
★★★★★
So nutty! I like it but sometimes I was overwhelmed by the flavors. So I don't know if I would buy it again.
★★★★★
Perfect with a little bit of rock sugar and some milk. I have it in place of coffee nearly every morning.
★★☆☆☆
Maybe my sample packet was bad, but this tasted nothing like described or expected. The only flavor I could detect was a very earthy note, more like over steeped pu erh than anything.
★★★☆☆
Very strong taste, want expecting it. Very good for a chocolaty drink.
★★★☆☆
This was ok, I didn't love it. A bit on the bland side, I was looking for something more chocolaty. I read that mate might have negative health stuff, so, for the fact that the flavor isn't amazing, I'm not going to get more of this.
★★★★★
My favorite. Just please don't mess with the hazel nut ratio again.
★★★★★
Exceeded my expectations. After my bad experience with rooibos, I was not expecting a non-standard tea (like a Mate) to be able to compete with some of my favorites for flavor. Wonderfully, I was proven wrong.

I actually mixed this to make a mate I would love for my mornings when I lack energy.I can taste this tea even after mixing it. I like it a lot.
★★★★★
This one is my favorite mate tea:)
Can drink too much of it though. Seems the combination of hot tea and nuts can irritate my throat.
★★★★★
This is a great mate to try if you've enjoyed other chocolate mate. Great first thing in the morning.
The only trouble I have, and this is true for all loose mates I've tried, is that my infuser doesn't seem to have a fine enough mesh to keep it fully contained. So you might get a little sediment at the end of your cup but it's a small price to pay.
★★★★★
Subtle nuttiness and delicate sweetness make this tea great for morning or an afternoon pick me up. Great substitute when you're in the mood for coffee.

This has a coffee taste to me. Not really what i want
★★★★★
This is a great morning tea. It has a honey mouthfeel and a full bodied flavor that is a good balance of nutty and sweet with a slight hint of smoke, but not overwhelming.

Very yummy tasting, great addition to the mate flavor
★★★★☆
This is a nice, cold weather pick me up tea. Not too rich.
★★★★★
My go to when green tea won't do and I'm not feeling black. Longer and more gentle caffeine high than coffee
★★★★☆
I thought it would have more flavor than it did...
★★★★★
This is so much different than any other tea I have tasted. The flavors are subtile, but the tea is strong. Don't oversteep! I just had t throw a cup out from doing that. It was way too strong!
★☆☆☆☆
The 'mocha' flavor was very chalky and was reminiscent of Necco 'chocolate' wafer candies. This was so bad no one in the house would drink it.
★★★★★
This is my new afternoon pick me up. I made 3 cups today. It has a warm, nutty flavor...similar to coffee. I love it!!! I even purchased the gourd for my husband.
★★★★★
AMAZING TEA!!!
★★★★☆
I liked this mate. Enjoyed a cup on a cold day.
★★★★★
Disarmingly coffee-like smell. The taste is much milder, but the nutty chocolate flavor is great, especially with almond milk and a bit of raw sugar. I suspect its marvelous in blends, and I love drinking it in the morning as a coffee substitute!
★★★★★
I ordered this and the toasted mate because I'm trying to drink less coffee and I'd read that the mate is a good alternative. I did have to add a little more than the steeping instructions suggested to make it strong enough for my taste. I often drink it without adding anything, but I've also tried it with a splash of milk. It's good both ways!
