Teapigs Chocolate Flake Temples Review

I've recently come across the Tea Pigs brand. As a self confessed tea addict I got really excited after hearing about some of the flavours - with flavours such as chocolate and popcorn what sweet toothed tea addict wouldn't get excited..I mean...popcorn flavoured tea?? OMG *swoons*

So, after containing my excitement, I headed over to Amazon and made the very important decision of which flavour to order first. After much deliberation I decided to order the Chocolate Flake Tea Temples - currently £4.15 on Amazon. Now, I won't  usually spend that much on flavoured Tea, these were a treat to myself after a busy week, But, I think these would be perfect for gifts and the like.

As tea bags go, these tea temples aren't used in any special way, you boil the kettle, pop the tea temple into a mug, add hot water, leave it to brew to taste, remove, add milk and sugar if desired and then enjoy!

After reading quite a few negative reviews I was skeptical over trying these temples, however I really like the flavour of these temples, its similar to hot chocolate but not quite the same. Of course you could just buy hot chocolate, but I don't know..sometimes hot chocolate is just too 'heavy' or 'rich' for my liking, but I still want a hot chocolaty drink and these are a perfect stand in for those moments! The taste of chocolate is nice and mild and doesn't over whelm the taste buds making this a very smooth drink to enjoy.

I really like the packaging, its simple and hints at being environmentally friendly - the box is largely recycled quite easily and the temples themselves are biodegradable, which is always a good thing!

The only complaint I do have is the price..for only 15 tea bags (sorry temples) £4.15 is very expensive and whilst they make a really pleasant cuppa, I don't think the price justifies this! Although to be honest I don't think the price will put me off buying these again, but they wont be a regular buy, but more of a special treat or a gift list request at Christmas and birthdays!

4/5 stars
