Tetley Chocolate and Mint Tart Tea (Morrisons) By @cinabar

I can’t resist trying teas that are a bit different, and this one from Tetley sounded like fun. These are Chocolate and Mint Tart tea bags, and as someone who loves a choc-mint combo, I was definitely in. That said, I don’t think I’ve ever actually eaten a chocolate mint tart. Chocolate tart, yes, but not with added mint. I would if I saw one, though.

 

I opened the box and found the tea bags are round. The instructions said to brew for 3 minutes, so I put the kettle on and followed along. Interestingly, it also mentioned the tea could be served with a splash of milk, so I did. You’d never add milk to plain peppermint tea, so I appreciated the guidance.

Once it was ready, I gave it a sip and really enjoyed the flavour. There’s a mild sweetness from the chocolate, but the cocoa comes through more strongly, and the mint shines. It’s a very soothing drink, and I preferred it to plain peppermint thanks to that subtle chocolate twist. It would make an ideal after-dinner tea, peppermint to aid digestion and just enough sweetness to round things off.

It’s always good to try something new, and I’ll definitely enjoy the rest of these Tetley Chocolate and Mint Tart tea bags, a refreshing and unique treat.
