Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Maté
Dry Scent: Very fine dark chocolate scent, grounded by the musky, slightly musty odour of the maté, followed by the light, bright notes of raspberry and the warmth and richness of the almond. Very, very appetizing.
Steeping Time: 4-5 min (+ as with most maté)
Steeped Flavour: The usual slight mustiness of the mate is mellowed by the addition of the chocolate. Sweet, fruity on the tongue from the raspberries, but with the calmed mate as a smokey aftertaste. Almost as rich and satisfying as hot chocolate, but with a more "grown-up" flavour.
Food/Drink Pairings: This is a great on-its-own tea, but for pairing it, it goes best with dessert. Just the thought of eating a wonderful tiramisu or a fruit trifle with this is making me drool just thinking about it! This would also be really good with Bailies (my usual little add-in) or a hazelnut cream liqueur or some Baja Rosa. Especially the Baja Rosa.
Rating out of Six Tails:
6/6
