An intense blend of black tea, rooibos and vanilla will sustain Scorpio's investigations and secret affairs.

Chocolate chips and mango pieces add a rich flavor that Scorpios can savor in private.

The flavors of rooibos, chocolate and fruit blend nicely in this tea. I prefer rooibos as hot tea, but I imagine this blend would taste nice cold brewed as well. Nicely done, and the tin art is great!

The rooibos is dominant in this blend, and I'm not a fan of it. I did like the combination of mango and chocolate. The tea was smooth and didn't have any bitterness, but I had the aftertaste of the medicinal tasting rooibos.

Strong chocolate aroma out of the packet. No mango pieces noted. 90 sec @ 180. Lighter chocolate aroma, no Rooibos notes. Taste is a light black tea, barely there astringency, no bitterness. Added a teaspoon of creamer that smoothed it out, but no chocolate flavor. Okay, but black tea is still not for me even in this blend.

This is the only tea blend my husband will drink. He drinks coffee at work, but likes to have a nice cup of tea at home occasionally when I'm having a cup, and this one became his instant favorite the moment he tried it.

Very pleasant mix of teas, mango, and chocolate. I steeped it at 190 degrees for 3 minutes and added a little honey.

I'm not the biggest fan of mango, but I figured I'd try it and it's surprisingly good. I don't even notice the rooibos, which is great because I hate it.

This was a lovely tea. I tasted caramel notes in addition to the chocolate. I steeped using 195 F water x 5 min and added monk fruit sweetener, delicious!

This is a really interesting and unique blend. The black tea lends a strength to the cup with rooibos adding a woody sweetness. Chocolate flavors are bittersweet with a touch of vanilla adding a softness. Only a touch of fruitiness came through in my cup from the mango.

This. is a really unique blend and it works! It can be a little intense if its slightly oversteeped but very enjoyable

Nicely balanced, the chocolate and mango come through and the rooibos meets the black tea right in the middle. Delicious tea

As a Scorpio I had to try this one! Delightful combination of flavors, with the bold black tea. It's one I reach for over and over again.

A great tea. High quality and delicious, deep but not too desserty. The mango addition allows it to retain an exotic sense even in the face of chocolate.

Got this for my Scorpio roommate. Lovely fruity notes complement the smooth taste of chocolate and black tea. Lovely!

Little too chocolaty for my liking. Oh well, it was worth trying anyway. :)

I really wanted to like this tea since I LOVE all its components. However, I found the tea's flavor to be somewhere between bland and muddled. I wish it tasted the same way it smells (mango + chocolate)!

I liked my own star sign tea so much that I tried this one. Love the mango in it!
