The Republic of Tea - Cuppa Chocolate Tea Assortment Gift (24 Individually Wrapped Dessert Tea Bags)

This sampler pack has five tea bags of each flavor: Red Velvet Chocolate, Coconut Cocoa, Strawberry Chocolate, Peppermint Chocolate and Banana Chocolate. I used 7 oz of water to steep the teas and then added an ounce of unsweetened almond milk & one packet of splenda to each tea. Here are my reviews on the individual teas, from least favorite to most favorite:Red Velvet Chocolate - this tea tasted like a sweet rooibos tea. It was not really red velvet or chocolate tasting. However, still tasty. This tea is caffeine-free.Coconut Cocoa - this tea smelled of coconuts and tasted like chocolate. A mildly sweet tea, very tasty. This tea does have a low amount of caffeine in it. I have a sensitivity to caffeine and it did not affect me at all, so there can't be much caffeine in this variety.Banana Chocolate - this tea smells like just like chocolate-covered bananas with only a faint taste of either. Like the Red Velvet Chocolate, it tasted like a sweet rooibos tea. I still liked it a lot though. It was just decadent enough without being overly sweet. This tea is caffeine-free.Strawberry Chocolate - this tea was like drinking chocolate-covered strawberries. It doesn't smell so strong but it tastes amazing. I would definitely purchase this tea in a larger pack. This tea is caffeine-free.Peppermint Chocolate - do you like Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, but feel guilty eating them? Then try this tea, because it is just like drinking a liquid version of a thin mint! This was by far my favorite tea. I ordered a full-size pack of Peppermint Chocolate and am already halfway through it. I will definitely be ordering this flavor again & again! This tea is caffeine-free.

Just delivered to my doorstep today! I tried the chocolate mint with a splash of half and half and a small scoop of monk fruit sweetener. Oh. My. Gosh. What a treat!! So good!!!!! Definitely going to be a daily indulgence.

This package has four different flavors of tea all are with chocolate. I bought it to try out the flavors. I wish they had a small sample package, because there is only one flavor from this package I will buy again.The Coconut is delicious! I will buy this flavor again, so good!The mint is good. It's pretty much the same as other chocolate mint teas I've tried.The banana is actually ok. I am not a fan of banana flavoring, but this is was ok.The red velvet is awful. One of the worst teas I've ever had. I was really disappointed. It has a bitter, weird taste, really bad!

I really like this little sampler. It gives me an idea of which teas I would repurchase. I would say this is more of a tea for those who like flavored teas. If you're new to tea or if you're a purist, this probably isn't for you. But if you liked Numi chocolate teas or if you enjoy Celestial Seasonings and Bigelow flavored teas then you might like these. It's not going to be sweet (most teas aren't) but it does have lovely flavors. More like if you're drinking wine and pick up different tasting notes. It's not going to be in your face with artificial pungency but the flavors are there and they're delicious if you're already a tea drinker. My particular favorites are the Red Velvet (it has a rooibos flavor), the peppermint chocolate and strawberry chocolate. Also, I didn't have the issues others seemed to have with the packaging. My sampler tea box arrived in a sturdy box with cute cardboard cut-outs that acted as the buffer to protect the product so nothing was crushed or flattened or damaged.

Strength is really not up there. You kind of only get One cup of tea per bag. That is too high a cost. The flavors really are not that impressive and even the aroma is, well, just kind of weak. I started with Mrs. Patmore’s plum tea and couldn’t say enough good about it (and always got two 12oz cups). They, for whatever mystery reason, stopped making that blend. So, I tried these “chocolate” teas with confidence. Sorry to say, confidence crushed. Won’t be so willing to spend on this company’s blendS again.

This brand makes some promising flavored teas, so I was excited about this one. I tasted mint, and chocolate, though separately. It was really hard to pass the scent when you open the package...not sure what it is, but its not chocolate, mint, or tea. Once I tried the tea, the indescribable scent was always present, always, and then there is the after taste, which isn't pleasant. Not everyone likes every brand of tea. This is a NO from me...but don't let me judge for you, try it yourself, you might like it far better than me. Who knows!

It’s getting chilly, and I’ve been looking for a warm nighttime drink to wind down. I’m also a diabetic, so curing my chocolate tooth is tricky. I like that it’s assorted- as I don’t know that I would had bought a single of the coconut one: OMG it’s like having a chocolate dipped macaroon. Little bit of the sweetener of your choosing & a splash of heavy cream, and it’s lovely.
