If your expecting milk chocolate this is not your tea, it's more a dark chocolate.

Post-Steep Additives: German rock sugar, sweeter

Marginally better, but really, it's lightly coco black tea, good but not amazing. Looking at the other steepster reviews got me all giddy. I was originally afraid I would love the tea and be devastated at it no longer being available. Luckily it's a good cup of tea, but I'll be fine without (Florence will see me though).

Resteep: same as first

Rating: 2/4 leaves


Leaf system:
1=Bleh! not again if it were free
2=Acceptable, if it were free or there were limited other tea options
3=I might purchase this tea from time to time, or select it while out
4=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
