I would tend to agree with the other reviews I've seen with regards to the flavor, but only because the aroma is so strong that I think the expectations for the taste are elevated. This is a great example of a tea whose smell is far greater than the flavor. That being said, the flavor is good, just not great. Furthermore, I do think that the addition of some sweetener does help this tea, but I would avoid the use of cream as it generally diminishes the flavor of tea and this one is simply not strong enough to overcome that.

If chocolate can infuse beer, of all things, why not tea? Especially for those of us who sweeten tea, cocoa is a natural enhancement. Opening the tin, the rich aroma of chocolate and mint wafts skyward in delicious profusion. If only the flavor were as thick as the smell! Drinking it, I can detect the chocolate a little more than the mint, but the mint more in the aftertaste; both deliver a little too weakly. It's good, but not great. I'd accept this tea as a gift (when it's free) or at about 1/2-1/3 the $5+ price I paid for it at Target. Otherwise...
Save your money, blend your own favorite less-expensive brands of loose-leaf black tea and peppermint, and toss in a crushed cocoa bean.

This tea is very weak-tasting, but has a dominant mint flavor. It doesn't have much of an aroma. I can barely taste the chocolate flavor, or the tea. I added cream and sugar.
