Brooks37, BrainGlow Cocao Tea arrived nicely packaged. The tea is pre portioned in pyramid tea bags. Apon opening the package the wonderful aroma was sweet and spicy. I prepared the tea with a single tea bag in 8oz of water, steeped for 5 minutes. I did not add any additional elements, such as milk, honey, etc. As I wanted to taste the true flavors of the tea.
Dark chocolate with a hearty spice. Not the kind of spice you get in fall teas. My first sip was enveloped with a sweet and peppery taste. With additional tasting the chocolate had a bit of a roasted flavor and the spicy black pepper has a great finish with a touch of cinnamon and hint of tangy licorice.
BrainGlow Cocao is my first experience with Brooks37. The ingredients, Ashwaganda and Rhodiola Rosea, peaked my interest. I was surprised by how prominent the black pepper is. But, it is well balanced by the chocolate and cinnamon. I love chocolate teas! This one is a great quality, tasty chocolate tea.
Note: my last sip was after the cup ran cold. I will always drink it hot, as the flavor is not as enjoyable cold.
