The Republic of Tea – Organic Double Dark Chocolate Maté, Naturally Caffeinated Yerba Maté, Steeps 36 Cups

The best chocolate tea that I've ever tasted; I'm a chocoholic but battling pre-diabetes, so I abstain from sugar during the week, and I also love that it's organic, low caffeine, and low calorie. (It was my first time trying Yerba Mate). It tastes just like a dark chocolate bar and I love it with a splash of cream or milk.. what a nice substitute for hot cocoa. I have been recommending this to friends and family. I'll be buying it for years to come!

I usually only get loose leaf teas for my daily cup of hot tea, but I was intrigued by this “chocolate” tea and couldn’t resist ordering it. I’m really glad I did! It is easy to use, enclosed in its own little packet. The package says to add to 6 oz. of water, but I’ve been using about 10 oz., and steeping for ~7 minutes. I add honey and cream after that. (I even tried adding some marshmallow crème a few times.) I typically have it in the evening after supper as my “dessert,” and greatly enjoy it. It’s not exactly like hot chocolate, but it’s satisfying enough for my sweet tooth. I will definitely order this again when I finish this can.

I absolutely love this tea! I have been drinking it for the last two years and never tire of it. I love yerba mate tea because of the caffeine content it gives without the crashes I get from other beverages. Republic of Tea has done such a great job with the chocolate overtones of this tea. I don’t feel like I have to add sugar because of the roasted chocolate flavor it has, although adding creamer is also delicious. I would say the chocolate flavor is more dominate than that of the Yerba Mate. On days I want an even chocolatier flavor I double bag that double dark chocolate goodness! I have been truly impressed by the teas I have had through Republic of Tea. I feel like it is worth the slightly higher price. I only wish they were more readily available.

Tastes ok,

The taste is really good, it’s a great dessert tea. Try it you will definitely like it.

I was looking for a chocolate substitute without the sugar/calories and this fits the bill! It not as rich as hot chocolate obviously, but gives me my chocolate fix. I use the tea bag twice per morning and the second cup is as good as the first. Can takes up a very small amount of space. Just note that there are no strings on the bags. I don't mind - I just leave in my tea cup and never feel like it gets too strong.

If you are a tea drinker and love the caffeine vibe of mate and love chocolate too, this is a lovely tea. The chocolate takes the grassiness away from the mate and adds a nice perk without the sugar of hot coco. It is nice to have something a little different than standard black tea. It is my go to morning ritual.

This is my husband's favorite tea. The chocolate flavor is mild but so tasty and amazing with a splash of milk. Will continue to buy it for him.
