When you first open the bag the aroma greets you and teases your taste buds with the mint and a hint of chocolate. The flavor on your tongue just from the smell is lasting. When I was steeping the tea the chocolate took center stage. After steeping the aroma becomes very well-blended. Neither the chocolate nor the mint raises above the other, it is just a perfect marriage of the scents. The first sip immediately brings to mind the little Andes Mints. Just the perfect blend of chocolate and mint. This would be a great after-dinner tea. It makes a delightful, refreshing iced tea as well. I would highly recommend this tea to everyone.
