When I opened the canister I wanted to eat the bags right there and then! I have gotten used to The Republic of Tea's "powdery on purpose" tins, so the cloud of coco dust didn't surprise me and I certainly don't mind chocolate wafting through the kitchen.
I was very excited for this tea, I had been expecting so much from it. What I got was a weak coco, like when you make the "prepare with milk" coco packets and accidentally make them with water.
I added the bags back in per some other reviews.
Next time, 3 bags, and maybe some milk.
Post-Steep Additives: none
Resteep: I wouldn't even dare with this so weak
Rating: 1/3
