Numi: Chocolate Puerh







Steep time: 3-5 minutes


Ingredients: Organic Puerh, organic cocoa powder, organic vanilla, organic Theo Chocolate cocoa nibs, organic Rooibos, organic orange peel, organic nutmeg, organic cinnamon.

Aroma: Dry tea bag smells like a vanilla malt, after steep tea smells like hot chocolate.

Packaging: Packaged in a biodegradable material, that seals in freshness, tea bag is made out of fiber, sealed with a staple.

Tea Leaf Quality: Small flakes, beautiful color variation.

Taste:  I was so excited for chocolate and vanilla tea. It sounds like it would be fantastic right? I let tea steep for the full 5 minutes (wanted the full flavor), and I was let down (oh so let down), it tastes like a watery chocolate drink. I even put fat free french vanilla in there, and it tasted like a watery french vanilla hot chocolate, the cheap kind you get for free at a cruddy car dealership - yeah I went there. It wasn't a bad or offputting taste, it just wasn't flavorful.
