This is probably the creamiest Tiramisu tea/tisane I have ever tried which is somewhat refreshing…since the others have been so coffee-like and almost bitter. I can taste the chocolate-goodness and that is the part I like most. Some additional notes about this TeaFrog offering… this IS a highly flavored Rooibos so if you are a Rooibos fan the stereotypical Rooibos taste may be lost or ‘put in a corner’. It just might have you saying “Nobody puts my Rooibos in a corner” but seriously you will have to try this one – just to see what I am talking about! For those of you who aren’t sure about Rooibos – give this one a whirl…it may change your opinion about flavored Rooibos! Sure you can taste the Chocolate and coffee or mocha type tastes but there is quite a bit of almond or even an amaretto taste, too! But like I said…what blew me away about this one is the creaminess. The creamy-taste and feel is what sets this Tiramisu apart from the others!

Dragon Well is one of the first green teas I tasted and one of the flavors that won me over from my coffee addiction. It’s been difficult for me to find a Dragon Well that I truly enjoy because I find the flavor of green tea to be a bit overwhelming for me but this is a fine grade.
The green flavor comes through at just the right level, not grassy or bitter, just really balanced, nutty and fresh. It is forgiving (over steeped it once and it was still sweet) and the quality stayed true through all three brews on my next attempt with it. This is a very aromatic green that is truly easy to enjoy.
