All of the vareties are subtly different from each other, but all taste great and I consider them a special treat.
from Tacoma, Washington on 3/6/2008
I drink the tea any time of the day. Love the variety of flavors that are included in the sample packs. Just wish there would be more of each one.
from Little Rock, AR on 3/2/2008
Love a cup of one of these rich dark teas in the evening after dinner or when I need comfort food... relaxing, soothing to the soul... gives my chocolate "fix" without the deleterious effects of "dessert".

The Chocolate Tea Sampler/Collection is wonderful.
1) The aromas for 4/6 teas were outstanding. 1 had a beautiful aroma but lacked substantial taste, and one was disappointing, but powerful and destinct--making me happy for having it in the collect.
2) Two teas lacked the aroma, taste, or feel of chocolate--the marsala tea (which was, nevertheless, one of my favorate teas and which I intend to purchase regularly) and the Mocha pu-erh tea (which, unfortunately, smelled and tasted like the dirt or bark of a forest--but I still drank a full, large cup of it).
3) The variety was great for my unit's employees' varying senses of taste, and needs for caffeine-full vs non caffeinated beverages.
4) The teas were great as stand alone teas as well as with foods and high quality chocolates.
5) The loose leave teas were entertaining to place into tea pouches--a simple, and cathartic process in making tea (I hate smoke and smoking, but it is like the coolness associated with people rolling their own cigarrette--but healthier (:)) ).
6) Great idea for Valentine's Day--made me look creative and impressive for providing it for staff (of the MDs, RNs, LPNs, patient care assistants, pharmacists, pharmacy techs, housekeepers, etc. who had a cup, the vast majority really loved it).
7) Even though the box collection looked small, it was very ascetically pleasing, and I served a whole bunch of tea with each 1oz canister even before I started reusing previously infused tea pouches (which worked and produced some potent tea).

The sampler includes six different teas, all infused with the taste and aroma of chocolate, but none of the calories! What more could a weight-conscious chocolate lover ask?
from Sharpsville, PA on 2/25/2008
Even though we love your silken teabags, we have found that we really prefer your loose teas. We steep the loose teas in one of those small European strainer/squeezer carafes, and make about 36 oz. of exceptional tea with no fuss at all! Really great for when friends drop by - they are always surprized at the wonderful, tasty, delicious, teas we serve, and at the wide variety of our teas.
from Long Island, New York on 2/24/2008
I bought this product for Valentine's Day for my husband (but really for both of us) being a chocolate tea but truthfully was not sure what we'd find. Surprisingly we both enjoy the various smooth relaxing flavors after dinner and love the fact that we get to taste chocolate in our tea along with other well matched tastes.
from Dallas on 2/23/2008
excellent teas
from Windham, NH on 2/20/2008
I love all the teas in this collection. Well balanced with subtle flavors in each tin.
I paticularly enjoy this after dinner.
from Champaign, IL on 2/20/2008
All six teas lacked much flavor. All of them had a strange aftertaste that was not pleasant. I am a big fan of Mighty Leaf Teas but not these.
from Smyrna, GA on 2/17/2008
I've tried them all- what's not to like? wonderful blends of chocolate and unique combinations. The Pear Caramel Truffle is my favorite- would prefer to have this in the tea pouch, but you won't find a better blend anywhere.
from Orlando, Fl on 2/14/2008
I have tried every tea in the sampler and they are all sooooo good. I usually drink them in the morning. I get such a good feeling from drinking them, that the rest of my day goes perfect!!
from Pittsburgh, PA on 2/6/2008
My 20-year old daughter order this and makes a cup every day on her way to her college classes. Now the ritual has become drinking more of it in the evening while she is studying. She really enjoys your teas.
from New Jersey on 2/5/2008
I enjoy a nice hot cup of tea after a long day. It is very relaxing. At the beginning of the day it serves as a nice starter tea.
from St Petersburg, Fl on 1/28/2008
I like tea but keep switching brands and flavors looking for THE tea. I think I found it!
from NYC on 1/24/2008
The teas were wonderful, esepcially the mayan chocolate- great flavor and aroma.
from Clute, TX on 1/14/2008
The variety and quantity you receive in this collection is very nice.
from Aptos, CA on 1/13/2008
This is a collection of very different teas so I'd be clicking on many of the characteristics listed in order to describe them all. There is an amazing variety of flavors here, some more chocolate-y than others but all intriguing. Three of the teas are herbal (no caffeine), suitable for anyone at any time. The other three teas are black teas which are overall my favorites. But the chocolate mint rooibos is a lovely herbal tea, just perfect for after dinner.
from Kalamazoo, MI on 1/8/2008
This was a great gift! The only thing wrong with the sampler is that the tins are too small! We will be ordering larger quantities of each. They are so good!
from Houston, TX on 1/1/2008
This was a gift for a friend who loves chocolate and tea - the perfect combo!
from Catskill Mountains, NY on 1/1/2008
I liked this collection a lot. I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves it, and while I am not a huge chocolate fan, I am a huge tea fan -- I especially loved the mocha pu-erh and the chocolate mint rooibos. The tea is pretty expensive, and I'm not sure it should be this high considering they are using ceylon (cheap) and rooibos (super cheap) for a number of the mixes, as well as chai mix (herbal and cheap). Overall it's a cute little set.
from Santa Cruz, Ca on 12/31/2007
This sampler is a great way to taste the different truffle flavors....I love the pear caramel! Add a little soy milk and it makes a great dessert!
from Clearwater, FL on 12/28/2007
I ENJOYED GIVING MY TEA DRINKING HUSBAND A VARIETY OF NEW FLAVORS THAT WE ALL LIKED.
from Florida on 12/28/2007
Smells great, but the taste is really a let down. In general, the teas' delicate aroma is promises much but delivers very little. The Mayan Chocolate was my favorite (though came out very cloudy). The Masala Chocolate Truffle was distinctive and earns points for the combination of indian spices with chocolate. The Mocha Pu-Erh was my least favorite. I had tried plain pu-erh in the past and found that it tasted very earthy (translation: dirt). The addition of chocolate did not improve the flavor and, once brewed, the tea lost even its chocolate scent.
from new rochelle, ny on 12/25/2007
i found that i needed to assure that i not make it too strong because it just tasted bitter. i would make it more chocolatey and a bit more sugar so that one can brew and drink without adding anything
from Boston, Ma on 12/18/2007
I love this tea as a dessert substitute and as a way to unwind after a long, cold day.

Gave it to my husband for anniversary gift. we can enjoy it together. He's a chocolate lover but adds a splash of Godiva Liquere.
from Philadelphia, PA on 12/17/2007
I was very excited to get this tea as it sounded interesting and am usually a huge fan of mighty leaf teas. I thought it tasted like absolutely nothing and was a waste of money. It was also difficult to make and came out very grainy. i've tried all the chocolate teas at this point and would not recommend them.
from Champaign-Urbana, IL on 12/13/2007
The Orange, Mayan, and Pear-Caramel varieties have a slight aroma of chocolate but no taste of it. Masala, Pu-Erh, and Mint have no chocolate taste whatsoever. A nice collection of teas, but don't buy them for the chocolate.
from MD on 12/10/2007
Three tea kinds with caffeine are for morning and others without caffeine are good for anytime.
from Yorkville, Illinois on 11/26/2007
I use the caffinated versions..for the morning- since I cannot handle coffee everyday. I use the none caffinated versions for guests, evenings, and the children....Awesome with a fruity honey!
from Aventura, Fl on 11/8/2007
I offered this product to a friend that is both a lover of tea and chocolate and she was very excited and grateful. Was original and unique and she loves the presentation of it!
