I really love this tea. I should start out and say that I, like most, kind of secretly expected this tea to taste like maybe hot chocolate or to have a real chocolate taste. It does not. It tastes like tea with some spices is all. It has maybe a hint of cocoa, but it's not the full on chocolate taste people are going to expect. So keep this in mind before sipping, or you'll get a little disappointed. It's a really mild tea, no bitterness at all, and it has a great scent and flavor. It even wakes me up and gives me a bit of energy in the morning. I took off one star because of the price, I wish it were a little cheaper. Overall I recommend anyone try this.
