 (43 reviews)

type: black

origin: china pu erh

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

Rich chocolate and sweet orange bring a confectionary note to the gentle earthiness of pu-erh. Lively citrus lifts the blend while the warm chocolate and easygoing pu-erh are grounding and smooth. Reminiscent of a favorite treat. Steep at 212°F for 5 minutes

      Definitely smells like chocolate and orange from the packet. 3 min @ 165 The orange scent has lightened and the chocolate takes the stage. Nice chocolate flavor with a hint of orange. Very smooth, no bitterness or astringency. I highly recommend for fans of chocolate and orange.

      Very lovely tea. Black tea with no astringency. Smooth bright citrus flavor with a hint of coco. It's a good meditating tea. Sip and Selah.

      A delicious dark chocolate and orange tea. It's great iced or hot.

      I love the earthy mineral taste of pu-erh, and it's especially wonderful with fruity nuances added. This tea is so good! Mellow and refreshing hot or cold. Love it!

      Got this tea as a gift. I steeped it for 3 minutes @212 degrees. This tea was so delicious. I’m going to have to get it with my next order

      As with all the pur-eh teas - fantastic mellow flavor

      Tastes like tootsie rolls to me. Brings back childhood memories.

    • 

      Tastes like memories. With a bit of soy milk this reminded me of the milk chocolate whack and unwrap oranges available at Christmas.

    • 

      Delicious orange flavor with a hint of chocolate. Balances nicely with the earthiness of the Pu-erh.

    • 

      Delicious, warming and nice to have in the mornings or after dinner.

    • 

      This tastes just like a chocolate orange, and works perfectly with a little sweetener. I have also tried it with a little milk and it enhances the flavors.

      a lovely rich and deep flavor that keeps even new tea lovers coming back!

      A really lovely and interesting flavor. This one will be perfect for fall!

    • 

      The smell's a little off-putting, but the taste makes up for it. It's like a Terry's chocolate orange dissolved in tea.

    • 

      One of the best flavored Pu-erh teas from Adagio. The chocolate and orange blend beautifully. Wonderful!

    • 

      Christmas in a tea cup. Chocolate and orange flavors mellow out the pu-erh, and are enhanced with just the smallest amount of sweetener. Tastes even better as it cools, so linger over this cup.

    • 

      Chocolate orange. I'm not a fan of orange but I actually enjoyed this one. Likely because of the mix with chocolate.

    • 

      An instant new favorite. The chocolate and orange blend seamlessly to create an entirely fresh mouthful experience. It's warm, cozy, rich, and fruity-sweet with darker, chocolatey notes (but without being discernably orange OR chocolate!). It's like I'm "treating myself" every time I steep this one. Neither bitter, nor smoky, nor astringent. Simply agreeable, easy-going, and absolutely delightful. I will absolutely be getting a refill the moment my sample size runs dry (which, at the rate I'm going, will be in just 48 hours).

    • 

      This is delicious and decadent, like a yummy chocolate dessert. It is heavier on the chocolate than the orange, which is fine with me. This may be my favorite tea yet--I am loving the earthiness of pu erhs. It is just as good on the second steep.

    • 

      Remember those chocolate orange things that were around during the holidays? Yeah. Pretty much.

    • 

      Pu-Erh Chorange tastes like drinking a Christmas chocolate orange! I like to drink this blend with a dollop of cream and a sprinkle of sugar. This blend is a staple in my cupboard and one of my reliable regulars.

    • 

      I love chocolate and orange paired together and this tea kicks those dessert cravings to the curb. Wish they'd make this into an herbal, non-caffeinated blend so I didn't have to drink a black tea at night

      I'm always a bit hesitant to try pu-erh teas since they've got such a distinct taste. However this is so pleasant! If you like those chocolate covered orange jelly candies, you'll love this! It is an awesome, strong tasting dessert tea

    • 

      My first experience with pu'erh tea and I was not disappointed. The chocolate wasn't too artificial tasting and the orange was just right. I am just delighted in how dark and flavorful this tea is.

    • 

      This was just the right balance between dark chocolate and orange. Orange is a compliment to the chocolate notes, rather than the other way around. Reminiscent of a mocha Valencia latte.

    • 

      Don’t know if it was just me, but I got next to no chocolate flavor and this was mainly just an orange tea

    • 

      Pleasantly surprised by this one! I’m not usually a fan of chocolate and orange together, but the earthy pu-erh went well with the orange, which was more of a sweet orange than tart. I like!

    • 

      The chocolate flavor is nice, and I'm saying that as someone who generally doesn't like chocolate flavor in her tea. I do wish it had a little more orange zing and I would probably add some orange peels if I were to try it again.

    • 

      To be fair, I didn't read about the hot rinse until after I'd steeped my tea. I added sugar and a touch of milk. However, it didn't taste bad. I got a very subtle chocolate and "fruit" taste I would not have identified as orange if I hadn't known it. It's not bad, just not a favorite.

    • 

      Like a rich, tasty chocolate orange. The breakable kind that you whack and crack into pieces. Not an everyday tea for me, but maybe a good holiday one.

    • 

      After tying and not liking Pu-erh Dante in last month's CommuniTea I was fully prepared to dump this one down the drain, but upon opening the packet I got a strong orange-chocolate scent and my hopes were lifted ever so slightly.

      As suggested I did a quick rinse. My mind might've been playing tricks on me; I thought there might've been just the slightest of fishiness in the rinse, so I dumped it just in case (Dante really did a number on me haha).

      I did a full 5min steep next. I got a dark, rich color, an earthy scent, topped with bright orange and smooth chocolate - like when I first opened the packet. Upon tasting it plain, the hay-like earthiness was too strong for me, even with adding some sugar, it still distracted a bit too much from the orange-chocolate. It was alright.

      For the second steep the hay-like flavor was all but gone, and the orange-chocolate reined supreme. Again I sweetened with a bit of sugar; this was my favorite cup!

      I'm a little surprised the flavorants managed to hang in for a rinse and 2 full steeps - in other teas the extra flavors are tired out by now. I'm temped to see if it'll give me a third steep.

      Orange Chococlate is one of my favorite flavor combos, I'm really glad this tea beat my expectations.

    • 

      Wow! Yum! I was looking to try this one for some time now. Perfect blend of orange and chocolate, reminiscent of Terry’s chocolate orange.

      Maybe I did my rinse too long and that altered the flavor drastically but there was almost no orange flavor. The chocolate was smooth and decadent, though,

    • 

      Really enjoyed the smooth, mellow pu-ehr used in this blend. The orange and chocolate aromas are nice, but there was almost no chocolate taste. The orange flavoring tasted ok, but left an artificial aftertaste for me.

    • 

      works very well together to give the impression of one of those choc-orange candies... am slowly getting to like a "desserty" type tea

    • 

      I just had this in a blend and it was a delight! It's very much like a chocolate orange.

    • 

      This tea is brilliant. The combination of chocolate and orange is just amazing. So yumm

    • 

      A lovely Pu-Erh. As others stated, this one is forgiving if you over steep it, not something to be said about most Pu-Erh teas. The chocolate orange flavor compliments the earthy deep taste of the Pu-Erh and makes it a delightful cup!

    • 

      Great reliable pu-erh I keep as it is very forgiving of my oversteeping. This is not something that I would drink when I craving a authentic pu-erh

      Nice earthy tea with a strong orange flavor. Very balanced.

    • 

      I was very excited to try this tea after seeing all the highly rated reviews, but ended up disappointed. The flavor is very earthy, but not in a nice way. There is only a slight hint of orange and chocolate in the aftertaste. Not sweet at all.

      One of my favorites at Adagio. Chocolate and orange blend so well and provide a wonderful treat. Try letting it cool down so the flavor develops more, then microwave so it's toasty warm again.

    • 

      This may actually be my favorite tea. If you love terry's chocolate oranges you'll love this!!! very strong, with an amazing flavor.
