A chocolate tea that actually tastes of chocolate, which is rarer than it should be. Real cocoa beans and chocolate flakes melt into the cup rather than relying on synthetic flavouring, giving genuine rich cocoa depth and a silky body the moment they dissolve. Sensibly, it sits on a bold Assam and Rwandan black base, so unlike the Teapigs Rooibos Creme Caramel this one has caffeine and a sturdy tea backbone holding the dessert note up rather than letting it go flat and sweet. It is less aggressively sugared than the Lipton vanilla-caramel; the sweetness here is restrained and natural, leaning more dark-chocolate than confectionery. That makes it the pick for someone who wants a chocolate cup that is still a tea, not a hot-chocolate substitute, and a splash of milk turns it into a convincing chocolate-tea latte. An afternoon treat rather than an all-day brew. Ignore the vitality wording; this is honest, well-made indulgence with the tea kept firmly in the room.

- Water temperature: 100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
- Steep: 3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
- Service: Add a splash of full fat milk and stir; sugar to taste. The tannins are balanced by the milk casein, which is why British tea is almost always drunk with milk.
