While I’m in a “reevaluating tea” mood today, I want to confess that this tea is not as mind-blowing as it was when I first discovered it years ago. It’s good, but it’s not Smores or Dubai Chocolate-tier good.

I have not paid any attention to the Dubai chocolate craze, but my spouse was right to guess I’d like this herbal blend. I wouldn’t mind a stronger pistachio flavor, but with more sips, I’m growing to appreciate the subtle nuttiness alongside the cacao flavor.

This isn’t what I want every day, but it’s an excellent combination of flavors.

One of my favorite herbals!

Chamomile is not something I generally like in tea, but the overall combination here works, and it’s a nice “warm me up” blend for a cold day.

The secret to a good s’mores-flavored thing is to get the graham cracker part right—this is why BYU’s Graham Canyon reigns supreme in the world of ice cream.

Anyway, I’ve been drinking this herbal tea for years, and it tastes so much like graham cracker that it feels like wizardry. It may be my favorite herbal tea of all time.

I like herbal tea, but there’s only so much interest I can show in a cookbook on the topic. The only reason I read this was because reading a cookbook is one of the squares on my local library’s 2023 reading challenge. It could be interesting to grow my own herbs and make my own blends, but I just don’t see myself doing it.

In happier morning news, I am now restocked on my favorite Coconut Cocoa herbal tea thanks to a recent visit to Cincinnati’s best international/odds and ends market.
