Review of Chocolate Peppermint

A subdued blend that I found very pleasing.
The cup has a light aroma which strongly reminds me of the inside of the old Wilbur chocolate factory in Lititz PA, with the smell of chocolate and peppermint. The peppermint has a slightly creamy quality to it.
Upon sipping, the flavor is pleasant...there's a slight muted bitterness which I find very pleasing, and the warmth of the cocoa is balanced by a cooling finish imparted by the peppermint. The base tea blends seamlessly...drinking this feels a lot like drinking a cup of black tea but I can't notice where the aroma of the tea ends and the cocoa and mint begin.
I really liked this one, and I find that impressive as I tend not to like this sort of flavor combination when used together with tea. I love how this blend suggests sweetness without actually being sweet.
Top-notch. I am quite impressed with the teas I have tried so far from Tea Horse.
Price is reasonable for a blend of this quality, especially if you buy the larger quantity. I was also able to infuse this tea twice...a sign of high quality!
