Ok so who
doesn't love chocolate? Chocolate and I have had a long lasting love
affair for some time now. I have also always had a love for tea as well.
So to say I was excited when I found out I could have both in one cup is
an understatement! Have you heard of Tisano Tea? Well if not, you have NO idea
what you’re missing out on!
This tea
brings me back to my childhood, on cold mornings my mom would brew mint tea for
us before school. This tea gives you the
“burst” of natural energy to tell your mind “Good Morning World”. It combines the Organic Egyptian Peppermint
and the refreshing organic cacao which creates a rich yet refreshing chocolate
experience that lingers on your lips and brings me back to those cold mornings
when I was growing up.
This was
really my first experience making “loose leaf tea” I’ve always used the tea in
a “filter bag” so this was a new experience for myself. I would mix 1 tsp of the Tisano Mint Cacao
Tea in my “Tea Infuser” with 8 ounces of boiling water, I’d let it steep for 3
to 4 minutes (as it suggests on the can),
As it steeps in the water you can really smell the mint, it literally “wakes
UP your senses”. When you’re drinking
this tea you can actually taste the mint and chocolate, they blend well
together for that minty chocolaty goodness that we all crave.
In India
tea has its roots in Ayurveda, a holistic approach to medicine focusing on food
and lifestyle. From there, India’s most popular
beverage – Masala Chai, “Spiced Tea” was born.
Tisano takes this 5,000 year old tradition into the 21st
Century.
Once
again the Tisano teas have taken me back to my childhood. The Chai Cacao Tea reminded me of the Mexican
hot chocolate my mom would makes us after dinner. As I was steeping and drinking this tea the
aromas of cinnamon, cloves, and the chocolate filled my senses and reminded me
of those evenings of my childhood.
My
recommendation would be that the Tisano Mint Cacao Tea would be a morning wake
me up tea, something you drink in the morning to start your day in place of the
usual coffee. The Tisano Chai Cacao Tea
is more of a mid-afternoon/evening, after dinner type of tea to soothe your
senses before bed.
Both blends
that I’ve had the opportunity to try were great but I would have to say the
Tisano Mint Cacao Tea would have to be my favorite of the two.
