“This Black tea is simple and simply wonderful. The orange peel is delicate and compliments both the raspberry leaves and cornflowers. The cocoa is just a wonderful flavor but does not over power the accompanying ingredients in this blend. I prefer my tea with no additional sweetener but I do take a spot of milk on occasion. Adding milk made for a relaxing cup before bed in lieu of eating something I would regret. I drink it black after supper and find it to just hit the spot! I highly recommend this flavor for those that want sweet but not overwhelming.”
“I really enjoy this tea. I had received a sample and have just ordered a full size bag. It has just enough chocolate and raspberry flavor plus the earthiness of the Pu'erh that gives it depth. Plus it has a nice caffeine kick!”
“The first time I tried this tea I did not add anything and didn't think it was anything special. My daughter said it was OK (high praise from one who considers tea mere flavored water and adds massive amounts of sweetener). I tried it again with some of the vanilla sugar dust and a bit of steamed milk and was blown away! It tastes just like a cup of hot cocoa!”
“I need to say, first thing, that this tea steeps up so beautifully. For those who take milk in their tea, this one is perfect for such an addition. I do, and I did, and it’s just lovely. The most prominent flavor, as I think it should be, is the raspberry with a solid base of chocolaty tea underneath. Maybe it’s the mix of pu’erh and black teas or the cocoa nibs or all of these together – whatever it is, it works. This is so well-rounded. I can smell the orange in the dry blend and though the flavor doesn’t necessarily come through in the cup I think the orange is somehow meant to boost the raspberry. It just complements the berry and cocoa in such a way that without the orange I don’t think the other flavors would have popped quite so much. This is to me such a well-thought-out and well-executed tea blend. The package says that Love is an ingredient and I believe it.”
“This is a great tea when you want the taste of dessert without the calories. It’s got a lovely raspberry flavor, and when hot is really enhanced by some milk and a drop of honey. Once I tried it I ordered two more bags so I wouldn’t run out.”
“This was one of the first teas from Plum Deluxe I tried - and probably the one that got me hooked. I love the way chocolate and fruit flavors are combined in this tea.”
