“So there’s something in this that I just don’t care for. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s also the same flavour I noticed in Butiki’s Raspberry Truffle, and that I think was also in her Rhubarb...” Read full tasting note
“So this was in Amoda’s box for January 2013, and I already have a huge bag of it, unopened. Why? Because few of Naked Teas Galore’s offerings have wowed me, and so I had actually planned to sell...” Read full tasting note
“I steeped too long (how long? IDK. I was chopping onions). It’s a little sour. Otherwise, not too shabby. It’s waking me up, at least. Not sure I’d get more, but I’m glad I got to try it.” Read full tasting note
“Second tea from Amoda’s January 2014 box. I didn’t take great notes on it, but what I do remember is a definite cherry flavour, different from cherry blacks I’ve had previously. I’m not a big fan...” Read full tasting note

Backlog:
I was excited to try this tea from my Amoda January box because of the name. I was thinking the chocolate and cherry cake … and then I started reading the ingredients: carob? eww. Why carob? Why not cacao nibs or cacao shells? Carob is the cheap alternative to chocolate. I don’t like carob. I like chocolate.
So, after reading that this had carob in it, I was less excited. But I still tried it.
It’s not as bad as I thought it would be given that there’s carob in it. It’s actually alright. The chocolate notes are a little weak … that’s kind of a standard complaint of mine when it comes to chocolate teas though isn’t it … and even though it is kind of a standard complaint of mine, I can’t help but think it would be better if it had cacao shells or cacao nibs. The cherry notes come through nicely.
I like the rose and the juniper in this … they added a nice dimension of flavor to the cup.
This wasn’t what I expected, but it wasn’t all that bad. It could have been better, though.
I love carob cookies from a local health food store, and carob chips in other cookies, Carob shake with almond milk is awesome! but havn’t had any more luck with liking it in tea so far, like chocolate.
Carob is naturally a little on the sweet side, so it probably works better in some applications and rosewater does seem to make it more chocolate-y. This actually sounds pretty good to me.
Yeah, I wasn’t so sure about this one myself. I don’t think I ever left a tasting note. It had a nice forest berry flavor going on but it was on the whole somewhat lacking.
