As you can probably tell, by the simple name of this blog, I am a big fan of tea and chocolate.
But NOT tea-flavored chocolate.
During the holidays, I bought an intriguing bar of dark chocolate that contained green Earl Grey tea. It was pricey - $4 for an 85 gram bar - but I figured I liked chocolate and Earl Grey tea so how could I go wrong? Well, I went very wrong.
I knew I was in trouble when I opened the box containing the bar and was hit in the nostrils by an overwhelming scent of Earl Grey - and this was with the foil inner wrapping intact.
I still opened the package and ate a block, which turned my stomach. It was disgusting. I threw the rest of the bar into the trash. I'll keep my tea and chocolate quite separate from now on, thank you very much!
Oh no! I've had a chocolate with an earl grey liqueur center that was very good. It was mostly the tang of the earl grey, not an overpowering scent.
ReplyDeleteI'll try another type of tea-infused chocolate again but this bar was pretty disgusting. Odd when you consider that I love Earl Grey tea and chocolate - but this stuff was not good!
