Thursday Tea Time

This week - The Republic of Tea - Silk Route Tea Blend -  "Ginger Chocolate Black Tea"

Cost:  $11.99 at World Market.  (It's a World Market Exclusive.)
Number of teabags:  50, so you feel better about the price
Caffeine:  Yes
Type of tea:   Black
Steeping time:  5 minutes
Add ins:  Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Chocolate Unsweetened Almond Milk and a packet of Sugar in the Raw makes it even chocolate-y.  And my favorite option is with a splash of Coffee Mate Natural Bliss "Sweet Cream."  Very nice.  No other sweetener needed.  Whew!  Save a carb where I can.
Teabag fragrance:  Chocolate, with a bit of spice.
Brews to such a pretty, dark
chocolate-y color!
Ingredients:  Black tea, natural chocolate and ginger flavoring, sweet blackberry leaves and ginger bits.
Opinion:  This is worth the search!  Thank goodness there are 50 bags and you only need one to get that yummy chocolate color and flavor.  The ginger just gives it a bit of a kick and warms it up a notch.  
Rating:  4.75 Only because it is a Limited Edition and takes a bit of an effort to find at World Market (I found it in their Austin store).
