With the fact that the title of the tea says COCOA, I was truly hoping for a warm and yummy chocolate tasting tea with a hint of spice - however, the first time I brewed a cup with 1 tea bag - it tasted very very bland and then I tried it with 2 tea bags and sure it tasted slightly better. I enjoy putting a drop of milk into my non-herbal teas, and basically with or without the tinsy drop of milk this tea tasted like blandly flavored water; a very vague essence of chocolate. Very disappointing. I let the tea sit out for hours (I had forgotten about it) and since there was no milk in it and I was curious so I took a sip and I must say it did taste even better ... but still, I don't want to wait hours and hours for even a slightest bit of flavor from my tea ... although I am thinking of trying it as an iced tea - almost like an iced chai tea. We shall see. I love Yogi Tea and I drink many of their teas - however, this Cocoa Spice is by far not my favorite ...

I won't lie... I like my tea strong. So strong I use 3xs what I should for high quality stuff... you could say I'm a bit of a tea junkie... so could the 120+ kinds of teas in my home. This is one of those kinds of teas that you don't want to call tea... especially since it IS best served with a little less water and a little more milk... I like to drink a LOT of tea at once, so I tend to take 2xs the water with 3 bags... told you a lot... and then add milk. The milk MAKES this tea... I guess some could use soy stuff, but I like mine straight from the mama cow's udder, thanks. Yogi tea definitely gets an award for consistency... the box look changed over time, but the tea... has remained consistent... they are precise. I like that in a tea maker.

Great flavor! I've tried other cocoa spiced teas and this is by far the best. Other types I've tried have had too much of a spiced flavor and not enough cocoa. This one is pleasantly balanced with just enough spice flavor with the cocoa. It's definitely worth a try!
