This mint chocolate blend is heavy on the mint and light on the chocolate.

Marko Goodwin
David Rio's Organic Mint Chocolate Infusion is a refreshing, caffeine-free blend of peppermint, spearmint and natural flavors that's great for dessert, a before-bed brew or a natural stomach soother. Mint lovers, watch out -- this is a seriously minty herbal infusion!

Appearance & Aroma

The brown wrapper produces a tan teabag which, in turn, produces a flaxen brew. However, the boldly minty aroma makes up for the rather drab appearance. Strangely, the chocolate comes across as an almost waxy, M&M-like scent.

Flavor

The flavor is refreshing and extremely minty, almost like mint-flavored mint leaves. The hint of chocolate and practically candy-sweet mint flavor make this a great choice for a dessert tea.

Recommendations

Love mint? Try this blend after dinner or before bed. It's good on its own, or with honey or sugar.
