Chocolate Hazelnut Tea
June 27, 2011
The Stash Tea Company makes a trio of “dessert teas”; chocolate hazelnut, vanilla cream, and almond cream. These teas are made with decaffeinated black tea.
I drank my chocolate hazelnut tea one afternoon when I was “in the mood for something.” I didn’t actually know what I was in the mood for, but since I didn’t have my usual chocolate pick me up handy, I thought this tea might do the trick.
It did. I brewed the tea until the cup had a dark, rich brown color. The aroma of this tea was wonderful! Both the chocolate and hazelnut aroma were strong and enticing. I hoped the flavor was going to be as good as the smell.
I was not disappointed. The taste was true to the aroma.
At first, the hazelnut was the only flavor note I could taste and I was momentarily disappointed that the chocolate wasn’t going to come through. But it did present itself at the end, and the finish was chocolatey.
I did not add any sugar or milk to my first cup because I wanted to taste the tea without distraction. My next cup was a different experience completely since adding a little sugar and milk really made the chocolate and hazelnut flavors pop!
I wonder what it tastes like as iced tea?
On the Stash Tea website, there is a Knowledge Center. This was my favorite part of their website. I learned about the history of tea, terminology used in tea tasting, and tea’s benefits in health and nutrition.
Did you know that all tea; white, green, oolong and black, originates from one small flowering evergreen bush in China? And that Green tea contains large amounts of antioxidants, vitamin B and folic acid? There’s more, but you can find out for yourself at www.stashtea.com. Don’t forget to check out the recipes for Tea Smoothies!
I’m looking forward to more cups o’ tea.

Tea smoothies sound good, especially if they are a chocolaty flavor. Does this tea only come in decaf or is there some that is caffeinated?
