This is a great dessert tea if you are into peppermint patties. You really want to add sugar to this one though to really get that taste.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

Ehh, not as rich and chocolaty as I expected. Tastes a little flat and dry perhaps the mint is a little overpowering for me. Not a terrible tea just flat and minty like over chewed gum.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

This tea is amazing; it's one of my favourites. I will admit that the chocolate notes are a bit subtle if you don't add cream and/or sugar, but that's not a bad thing. It's a very smooth tea, with a good feel in the mouth and the taste lingers perfectly.

I don't care for this tea on it's own but blended with Azteca Fire it's the perfect balance for me. It does remind me a little of mouthwash without the Azteca Fire.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

This tea has a delightful touch of chocolate and a strong, but in my opinion not overpowering, undercurrent of mint. I'm not sure what the tea base is (other than "black"), but I'd like something a bit stronger. This tea definitely needs milk, but beware that this is NOT hot chocolate! If that is what you are looking for, you'll be disappointed as it is rather light.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

I loved this tea the first time I tried it! The mint flavor gives this tea a real kick in the pants. I have a co-worker who is a consumate coffee drinker and normally dislikes tea - she came down with a nasty head cold, and I made her a cup of this - she couldn't tell it wasn't coffee until I told her! (Although, a stuffy nose most likely contributed to her error!) This tea is wonderful for all times of the day or when you just need a good pick-me-up. Also good iced, or with a bit of cream and rock cane sugar. *WARNING* This tea must be brewed properly, because it's just nasty bitter otherwise!

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

I found this tea intriguing simply by its name. I've always been fond of the chocolate and mint combination, so I gave this tea a try one day, and I absolutely love it. I drink it every morning now. A friend of mine introduced me to a combination of Peppermint Tea and Azteca Fire, which I thoroughly enjoy in the evening as it is minimally caffeinated. But I like a little pick-me-up in the morning. So I just swapped the Peppermint Tea with Cocoa Mint Black, and I can't get enough of it!

I do have to be very precise in my steeping times, however. Too long, and it's fairly bitter. I've begun adding about a half teaspoon of brown sugar to 10 oz of tea so I don't have to be quite so careful. I'm often busy in the mornings, and I tend not to hear the timer beep when my tea is done. But the sugar also gives is a nice smooth flavor that the combination doesn't have on its own. I find that I actually enjoy it more with the sugar, and I'm saddened why my tea is gone!

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

I have been searching for a tea with mint that WOWED me and I have found it. Even family that aren't crazy about tea just love this one. Beware - this mix can be addicting. If your craving a dessert but don't want or can't have the sugar or calories then this tea will provide you with the feeling and satisfaction that you've just cheated.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

I love this tea!!! I inquired about a chocolate tea after reading about a chocolate tea in a mag. I did not have any particular brand in mind so was pretty much green when I went into Teavana. After, I asked about a chocolate tea the clerk allowed me to smell the leaves which were absolutely wonderful!! I purchased a single cup and left the store to walk around the mall while my tea cooled and I tasted. Within less than 5 mins.I returned to the store and purchased an 8oz supply!!!!! I am sure I will be back SOON!!!!!

I am not a fan of black tea...they always seem to strong for me, but this tea was GREAT! I mixed it with a touch of the cane suger & YUM!!! This tea tastes like an Andes mint! If you like mint chocolate, this is the tea for you. This would be great mixed with a bit of cream or milk.

I really like this tea any time but in the morning is really good when it is cold outside. The chocolate and the mint blend really well. When brewed correctly it is not bitter. I like it with just a little sugar. The mint taste you get after it leaves your mouth is just wonderful

I was hesitant when I first tasted it because it was a little too minty but it grew on me when after each taste. Doesn't need sugar great by itself. Its great as an after dinner tea but also would be great for the morning.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

This is a delicious tea that fits a wide profile of taste buds. I highly recommend adding cream as it enhances the cocoa flavor which otherwise can be weak (I usually forgo adding sugar and cream). Drink as a treat, since the character is too much like an after dinner mint for general use.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

I caught a whiff of this after checking out. I then proceeded to get back in line to purchase two ounces.

This mint in this is strong enough to not be overpowered by the cacao. Chocolate and mint have always been a favorite combination for me, but I never would have thought to combine the two in a tea.

I was glad I tried this tea even though the ladies at the Teavana counter seemed reluctant to recommend it for some reason. It was delicious! I drank it w/o any sweetners and it tasted just like chocolate mints. It satisified my sweet tooth and the mint flavor helped soothe my stomach after my meal. I am sure it would be extra delicious with a splash of milk and some sugar. WOW!
