You know Republic of Tea loves us because they have just released some
new chocolate teas. Would I like to sample them? I was asked. Oh my, yes!
The names alone were enough to hook me. When the samples arrived, I read the ingredients listed on the Red Velvet Chocolate tea: "Caffeine-free herb blend with rooibos, chocolate, vanilla and beet root." Uh oh. Now I love rooibos, chocolate and vanilla, but beets are one of the only foods on the planet I do not eat because they make me queasy. Hmmm. Smelled good. Might as well give it a try. And my, how yummy this was! A very, very rich tasting herbal tea that did indeed bring to mind (and tastebuds) the flavor of Red Velvet Cake, and I didn't taste the beets a bit. What a delicious treat -- and just think of the calorie savings!
And then I tried the Strawberry Chocolate and Oh. My. Goodness! The first whiff of this strawberry blend made me think of those yummy chocolate-covered strawberries my friend Susan shared over Valentine's this year. And in a tea! How *do* they do it? If you're a chocolate lover who likes chocolate-flavored teas, you will definitely want to look for these delicious new flavors!

I have these teas and they are great !!!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried these teas at a Wegman's Market around Valentine's Day and yes they were yummy.
ReplyDeleteThe fragrance of the Strawberry and Chocolate one was intoxicating.
Paired with Red Velvet Cupcake they would be double yummy!

I can hardly imagine it, but will keep my eye open for these teas and try them if I can! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSeveral tea friends have mentioned these "teas" recently. I'm glad to see your review here.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you purchase these teas? They sound so yummy. Always loved the sound of " Tea Party" . so I decided to do one for my Grand daughters. Sent them a funny English invitation via e-mail, told them to dress fancy & girly ( you know girls hardly put dresses on anymore ) & where it was being held. Even had them RSVP. I set the party for a Saturday ( no boys allowed )Want to hear more?
ReplyDeleteI just finished ordering a few teas, thought I was done, read your post...Need I say more :-)
ReplyDeleteStrawberry and chocolate tea, oh my!
Sounds lucious! Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteLove, Carol B.

Chocolate teas are soooo the rage now! I have a Chocolate from American Tea Room (rooibos) that is also very good!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I'll have to check World Market next time I'm near.
ReplyDeleteAnd where can we get this?!!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling!
Have missed checking in with you, I'll be stopping in more often.
On another note, I just read the blog on your guava paste. I posted a recipe this past summer using guava paste, which I love BTW. Just wanted to let you know that you can buy the guava paste at Publix in the International aisle. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI sell a Chocolate Cream tea that is lovely. I was surprised that I would even like it. But it is yummy!
ReplyDeleteThese teas sound divine!
Tea & Chocolate? Wow - this is news to me and it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI will try it and thanks so much for the review, Joanie
I'm not a big fan of rooibos tea, but those flavors sure sound good. How can you go wrong with chocolate?
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I am a chocolate fan, but not a rooibus fan. Probably will pass, but definitely will please some chocolate lovers.
