The Peppermint chocolate cake was quite flavourful and fragrant. I usually find that many teas are fragrant, but then disappoint when I actually taste them and only have a small or simple flavour. This one has a nice complex aroma and flavour. I find adding 1 cube of raw cane sugar to a 16 oz cup slightly enhances the flavours, but I don’t think it is needed for this teas true essence to blossom.
