Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
This is my favorite flavor - smooth chocolate taste with a hint of mint - like a liquid Girl Scout Thin mint - only better!

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I am obsessed with this tea! It's perfection - light minty taste with hints of chocolate. As always, the taste differs based on the water heat and steep time, but I don't believe this tea can be ruined. Great as a tea latte. One of the best teavana teas I've tried. I just love it.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I read the reviews about this tea and purchased it yesterday because I really wanted to try something totally different. I usually buy teas with a nutty/spicy flavor, but I really liked the idea that this had not only the mint and chocolate, but also hazelnut undertones. The tea is exquisite!!!!!!! I think it would be the perfect after dinner drink, but I'm so in love with it that I can completely see myself drinking it anytime. It is so aromatic, and the smell very closely matches the flavor. Upon first sip I taste the chocolate and the hazelnut, and the mint is a burst right at the end which is refreshing and fabulous!! I will certainly re-purchase!!!!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I love chocolate flavored coffee's but find they cause my teeth to hurt, so was a bit worried about trying this. Turns out that the tea doesn't cause my teeth any problems. I wanted to compare it to a black tea flavored york pepperment patty, but think it has more in common with a girlscout thinmint :). I drink a cup at work, usually later in the day before I head home.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
If you are a fan of Mint & Chocolate together, you will surely enjoy this blend. The minty taste and aroma comes instantly, you definitely taste the chocolately undertone, and slightly notice the hazelnut as a complement to it. I personally was sold on the scent of this tea alone.
This has easily become my after dinner reward, I can see myself keeping it re-stocked for a long time.
My friends and I all like mint & chocolate in just about anything, but everyone has different taste, do some research before gifting to a friend.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
When I tried this tea I fell in love with it. The combination of chocolate and mint flavors reminded me of a York peppermint pattie.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
My absolute favorite! Wonderful both hot or iced. Just like indulging in a sinfully indulgent dessert with none of the guilt!!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
This tea is just okay in my book. At first it tastes great but when the mint flavor comes out it just leaves me with a medicinal aftertaste. Kind of like a cough drop.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I've started drinking this at work. It makes my desk area smell absolutely wonderful--my boss called it "eau de Peppermint Patty". It's a great pick-me-up!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
This is one of the first teas I tried and I am in love! The best way to describe it is a very light rendition of a Girl Scout's Thin Mint cookie- The chocolate flavor is very light and the mint is not overpowering. It is a very smooth drink and leaves a very clean taste. I added a small amount of the German sugar to the second pot I drank and it was even more delicious! Definitely recommend!

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
this tea has my two favorite flavors combined into one smooth delicious treat! very dessert like and delicious. my favorite tea so far!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I bought this tea on a whim, and wow do I love it! I read a few reviews so I splashed some soy milk and rock sugar in with it and it was amazing! The chocolate taste is light enough to get hints of and mixes really well with the mint creating a lovely afternoon pick-me-up. Tastes almost as delicious iced as it does hot. If you want more flavor add an extra tsp, don't steep it longer or else it becomes very bitter.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I drink this tea whenever I feel like it. I gave it as a Christmas gift this year to a friend and she fell in love with the very chocolate/mint aroma that filled her kitchen and really loved the tea itself. It's like eating candy!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
This is like dessert in a cup! I usually brew it strong. I love the ratio of the mint and chocolate together, neither of them overpower the other. This is one of my favorites that calm my sweet tooth... But, sometimes I still eat it with a sugar cookie or two!:)
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
This tea goes very well with Baily's Irish Cream. Super tasty.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
Like many of the flavored black teas, the tea itself is a bit weak and extra tea is necessary to get the full flavor. I typically double the amount at two teaspoons per cup.
The mint is the overwhelming note in this tea. The chocolate and hazelnut seem to impart only a little of their aroma or flavor.
That is to say, this is not a bad tea and is pleasant but does not quite live up to the high expectation I had when purchasing it.

Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I am in love with this tea! I drink it every night after dinner to replace my bowl of mint chocolate chip icecream. And boy oh boy, does it taste better than the icecream! In the morning, I will brew me a cup or two, add some rock sugar, and a plash of fat free creamer and pour the whole thing over ice - [...] has nothing on that!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
My first visit to Teavana has been a major success. First the people who helped me were amazing and very helpful!
I am first and foremost a fan of mint/chocolate and the aroma of this tea is just incredible. I also purchased the tea steeper and just couldn't wait to get home. It only took me twice to find my perfect prep for this. I use the German Sugar which I add in the steeping process and for 16 oz I use a 1/4 c of whole milk. It is so comforting and soothing. The chocolate and mint are evenly balanced and one doesn't really overpower the other. With the milk and sugar, it sweetens the tea just right and makes it even more dessert like.
I am going back tomorrow to buy another 4 oz!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
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 />:
I'm drinking my first cup of this tea right now and it's amazing! It's very smooth and has a great flavor.
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.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
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 />:
I'm not a big tea drinker, but this one will keep me coming for more.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
This really is like peppermint patties or thin mint cookies in tea form--so it wakes me up as well as satisfying cravings. Drinking this instead of eating candy or cookies isn't even a sacrifice!

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 />:
If you like Mint or mint tea you will love this tea. It is minty with a chocolate nut background and it compliments it wonderfully. My mom didnt like it, but she doesnt like minty stuff.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:

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!!!!!
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I know it is probably because I'm a tea purest,but I thought this tasted just like mouthwash.Could not finnish the cup.
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
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.

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

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

This is a delightful tea! I've tried other chocolate teas and this tea is by far the best! Its a wonderful afternoon and after dinner treat--staving off rich, high calorie, dessert cravings!

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've been drinking this tea in the morning as a jump-start for my day. I like the minty taste in the morning a lot. The chocolate wasn't super strong tasting, but it's there. I like the addition of the nuttiness, it deepens the flavor.
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.

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

If you ever had mint chocolate chip ice cream, then you'll love this:)
Comments about Teavana Cacao Mint Black Tea<br />:
I made some of this yesterday iced with a tiny pinch of peppermint. It tasted like dessert, though I wish I hadn't made such a large cup. Probably about 5oz or so would have done.
