Taster’s Review:
Such a delight! I love white chocolate, my grandmother prefers white chocolate. I plan to have this tea with her! sTEAp Shoppe is one of those companies that really listens to their customers to perfect their blends, not just to their liking but to the liking of the consumer! I respect the company and the owner Janet is a true sweetheart!
I received this sample from Janet recently as she is doing her second virtual tea tasting on steepster.
She is always reaching out to us, the consumer for our opinions which is excellent! In my opinion nothing about this tea needs tweaked or changed! It is blissful, decedent, and creamy.
The tea has a full mouthfeel and is sweet but not at all cloying! The white chocolate absolutely stands out and is distinguishable as a white chocolate. All her ingredients are naturally flavored and she takes great care and time in learning about each and every ingredient she puts into her blends.
As the tea cools even more of the white chocolate flavor comes out and I imagine it would be wonderful iced! While it is excellent as a dessert tea this would also be a great tea for the younger folk in your life, a tea party, or an afternoon tea.
The rose hips provide just a slight floral note without making it come over as a floral tea.
Now this is not the most complex tea in the world but it is what it says it is – and tastes as one would expect and hope it to taste! Sometimes that is all I am wanting in a tea – a straight forward “it is what it is” flavor without the guesswork!
I needed this today! In one word: YUMMY!!
What I particularly like here is how you described the tea company owner. Someone who listens to their customers, reaches out to them, and on top of that is just lovely, well – that sounds perfect to me. The tea sounds like a clever successful combination of tea and chocolate, thanks!
Thank you Jackie for your very sweet comment! Its true companies who care about their customers are the best! 🙂
