Review: This is one of our absolute favourite blends, especially from a standard off-the-shelf brand.  As soon as you brew it, you can smell the cocoa, dark and inviting.  A moment later, you're hit with the refreshing smell of peppermint, sure to pick you up no matter what sort of day you're having.

And the taste...!  It's just amazing.  You can't actually pick out all the individual ingredients (black pepper!?), but the combination is divine.  It's fresh, with just the right hint of sweetness; the liquorice doesn't overpower the rest of the blend.  It makes for a satisfying post-meal drink, in place of puddings - like After-8 mints, but subtler and with nothing artificial.

It's the perfect morning wake-up drink, a delicious digestive aid in the afternoon or after dinner, and a relaxing moment of happiness just before bed - like Hotel Chocolat's Peppermint Cocoa, but way cheaper.  But be warned: we each bought several boxes and they disappeared before we knew it.  Family and friends kept drinking it behind our backs!

This is definitely a must-have tea.

Best time of year to drink this:  A definite all-year-rounder.

Best time of day to drink this: Any time of day.  There's a strong risk of chain-drinking, with this one.
