I grew up drinking this tea, my mom bought it from the local co op. The slightly roasted and deep chocolate flavor is so wonderful in this tea. I don’t even add milk or honey, it’s perfect on its own. Very happy to have it back in the house and on regular rotation.
Sometimes you just want chocolate or something sweet without the sugar effects. This taste good. It could be a little stronger, however, I like the flavor. I’ve tried adding a couple marshmallows to it to have a cup of “coco” and while it’s not the same as actual hot chocolate without marshmallows, it’s still a tasty tea!
If you like dark chocolate and mate, this is the perfect combination. This helps satisfy my chocolate craving.
I bought this because I love anything chocolate, so it sounded good. It wasn’t bad, it’s just a different flavor than I’m used to drinking. I’m going to experiment with add-in ingredients before I give up.
Tasty dark chocolate herbal tea for when you don't need a caffein boost.
I am not super crazy about this one - especially for the price! Even though it is fairly chocolatey, I feel like there is something missing. To me, it’s simply flat and boring.
One of the faves in our home>. Use two sachets in a large mug for full flavor
One of my favorite teas! A scoop of chocolate collagen and you have a delicious healthy tea version of hot chocolate!
I bought this for my friend's birthday. She said she has tried other chocolate teas before, and wasn't as impressed as she is with this one. She said it has a strong chocolate flavor. She used two teas bags, in 16 oz of water, and said it was very good. She added cream and sweetener. She also told me that she tried it as a dessert tea, but instead of using her regular sweetener, she added a squirt of chocolate syrup, she said it was fantastic.
Awful. Doesn't taste like chocolate.
I have been enjoying this tea for years, one of my favorites.
Love this tea. So chocolatey. Nothing compares to it.
My favorite tea - I drink it every day!
I am an avid tea drinker, and this tea is so delicious. It really hits that craving for chocolate with a warm and cozy side effect. I drink it with monk fruit vanilla sweetener or raw honey and coconut milk. Highly recommend.
love love this
Quite delicious.
I guess I thought That this was gonna taste like hot chocolate but it doesn’t. It tasted very bitter to me even after adding my stevia and some cream. Maybe it was the chicory root coming on strong because I have other teas with chicory but flavor not as strong. Mind you I do have other chocolate teas that I like (Chocolate Peppermint & Strawberry Chocolate inc Get Lost). I was going to in return it but decided to keep and just experiment it with my other chocolate teas for a deeper chocolate flavor. So far I did with Get Lost tea and it was a little bit better so I’ll keep it but won’t get it again.
This is such a treat for me. I love a warm cup of chocolatey goodness with a bit of milk. I'm glad there is a refill bag because it seems I always need more!
This tea has great flavor!
I bought this interesting tea a few weeks ago and already finished my first tin. I like how subtle it is. It's delicious and healthy. I LOVE the taste of chocolate!
Sweet treat without all the calories!! I add calorie free Skinny mixes chocolate salted caramel syrup and it's absolutely de-lish! Excellent hot or blended with ice!for
I order rhis one frequently.
I have been buying this product for a long time. I enjoy the chocolate flavor and the fact that it's organic. I do a lot of tea blending when I make a cup. I pair this flavor with The Republic of Tea organic turmeric ginger. One of my favorite pairings.
Deep and flavorful. Very satisfying. I've bought refills several times now.
This is now my favorite chocolate tea--like hot cocoa without the sugar. Also pairs well with a liquore.
Oh my! This is wonderful!! I’m a chocoholic, but have been trying to cut down on my sugar intake. I would drink a combo of hot chocolate and coffee every day. This tea, with a little honey and a little milk is, of course, not the same, BUT, is the best substitute I can find!!
Chocolate loving goodness! It is just the sweet treat I needed. It is so good hot with just a little creamer,( I love the peppermint flavor with this). I can see this being one of my very favorites.
Rich, dark chocolate flavor - it satisfies my dessert fix. I drink it almost daily.
Chocolate fix! Very chocolaty, and amazing with a touch of stevia and a splash of almond milk.
My favorite mate tea! This tea truly does have a dark chocolate taste that is enhanced with a little milk.
I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. It satisfies my cravings for chocolate. Rich dark chocolate flavor and tastes delicious.
Really enjoy this tea.
So far I've enjoyed all teas purchased from this company and this one is no exception. I highly recommend.
A delightful flavorful treat that doesn't quit after the first sip!
I love this tea and drink it nearly every day. It’s so chocolatey and luxurious, it’s really a satisfying treat on its own. It also mixes well with the Hi Caf Cinnamon Toast tea for a little decadence in my mornings.
This was quite a surprise. It has a light chocolate flavor that is nice and very relaxing. I will buy it again.
This is a staple at my house for when I need something chocolatey. I would highly recommend this tea to anyone that needs a chocolate fix.
This decadent tea is way better than coffee. Perfect for any morning routine and tastes similar to hot chocolate.
My husband and sister-in-law love this tea! It is reminiscent of hot chocolate, but in tea form. A great variety to have on the shelf, would buy again!
I’m so glad I purchased this tea! It’s like a cup full of dessert. I really do love it.
Any fellow chocoholic should love this tea! It has a great dark chocolate flavor and has become my favorite new tea.
This the absolute best tea in the morning. It has replaced my second cup of coffee for over a year.
Comparable to a lighter black tea with wonderful hints of dark chocolate flavor. A wonderful afternoon pick me up!
A truly delicious tea. It is rich and tastes like a special treat
I buy this tea every time I run out. It's sooo good. I have probably bought this flavor 6 times and the Elderberry tea also. These teas are the best I've ever had .
I bought this for a second time and will probably keep it on my regular rotation of breakfast or afternoon treats. It’s delicious with its dark chocolate flavor, but not overly sweet like hot cocoa.
This is my 3rd tin of this Double Dark Choc Mate. At first I didn't like the fact that you get a little chocolate powder that seeps out of the teabag and floats around and ends up on the bottom and sides of your cup. But, the comfort this provides overrides any extra cup rinsing needed, so just get over that. This is one cup of yummy warm blanket. It melts away the stress as you sip it slowly during your work morning.
This is one of my favorite Republic of Tea products! I have ordered it a few times in the past, and it never disappoints. Full of flavor and delightfully decadent, without the calories of a traditional “hot chocolate” drink.
Sadly, this tea was very disappointing. It was bitter, strong, and did not remind me of chocolate.

The dark chocolate tea is simply amazing. It smells like chocolate And it has a great chocolate taste. It’s very refreshing and sometimes when you just feel like you need something special like a piece of dark chocolate, this tea will do it. I would recommend this tea for anybody who likes chocolate.
My favorite afternoon tea! Delicious chocolate flavor. I love this tea with a sugar in the raw and half n half. So yummy.
The previous chocolate flavored tea is no longer available so I’m glad I found yours.

The description of this dark chocolate tea is so accurate. I prefer teas that milk can be added to and this was perfect. Besides milk I also tried adding flavored oatmilk (coffee cake flavor was the best) and it was better than any desert. Does contain caffeine so I avoid at night.
I am a tea totaler, my husband is a coffee man. In the past year, I have been purchasing new flavors to introduce him to something other than coffee. The double chocolate maté with its glorious aroma, organic ingredients, and rich chocolate flavor is in his top ten list. I am grateful to The Republic of Tea for making my job of getting my husband to enjoy a healthy alternative to coffee a lot easier.
I love this chocolate tea, it has as great chocolate flavor. I enjoy it often.
Delicious chocolate tea. I enjoyed this tea plain and also with a splash of milk. Both ways are delicious.
Pretty good. For me, I think I would have liked it to have a somewhat stronger flavor because I tend to like pretty bold teas, but I still enjoy it and my housemate likes it a lot.
Delicious!
Excellent, fun, and bold! Nice afternoon pick me up!
Enjoy the chocolate and mate combo. Nice for a boost of energy in the afternoon. I like to brew double bags for strong flavor.
This tea is super super good! It has a strong chocolate flavor and is dark and rich. Everytime I drink this tea I think of eating a piece of semisweet dark chocolate. I highly recommend!
If you’re looking for seriously chocolate tea, this is it! A lot of chocolate teas have a weak chocolate flavor to me, but not this one. This is the real deal. Just delicious!
Oh my, what is not to love about this tea? I had to get the refill bag because the empty tin was just too sad to look into and see nothing where deliciousness used to be. This tea is smoothe and chocolatey. I love to pour this in my Yeti cup and top it off with a spot of milk. Makes my morning work day so much more enjoyable! Mmmmm...you have to try this one.
Very good for curbing my sweet tooth after lunch.
This is the first time I've ordered this tea. It's good, but not my favorite Republic of Tea because no matter how long I brew it, it seems a bit weak. I probably won't order it again because it's a bit more expensive than other flavors and I'd rather get something I totally enjoy.
Add a splash of milk and enjoy a guilt free of hot cocoa. The aroma is delicious
This tea is fantastic. I love it as a breakfast tea instead of coffee.
I like to use 2 teabags per cup and steep a long time. Great taste and aroma.
This tea got me hooked on trying chocolate teas. I didn't think I would like chocolate tea, but this is such a good tea when you want something sweet (drink or food) and it really satisfies my sweet tooth.
Love this surprise tea. Like eating chocolate without the calories.
This is my favorite mate. The chocolate flavor is present and has a nice roasted flavor. Great with milk!
I steep this tea for 5 minutes, then add a little sweetener and 1/2 and 1/2. It's very good, but I like the chocolate mint tea better which is less expensive so I probably won't get this one again.
This was one of those teas that sounded so good I had to try it. It has not disappointed me.
Double Dare Chocolate Mate like having dessert any time you have a cup. It's the perfect amount of chocolate without being a too sweet "hot chocolate."
I usually drink this in the morning, but also enjoy it as a treat in the evening. It has a lovely aroma, and a balanced & smooth flavor. I enjoy mine w/ a bit of honey & cream for a really rich sip that's not as heavy as coffee or hot cocoa. This is one of my favorites and I buy it in bulk.
It's a really great chocolate tea, very hot chocolate flavor.
I love this tea, especially on cool and cold afternoons. Just enough of a boost with delicious chocolate flavor.
Wonderful aroma and flavor
The best thing I like about this was the hint of chocolate after brewing my cup I did add some milk and I found this tea very tasty.
I love drinking this tea when I am craving late night chocolate but don't want to consume calories. Just a great light hot chocolate drink
I love how chocolatey this tea is while still being no calorie. It's such a treat to take a Yeti full of this tea and sip on it all morning while at work. No other company has such amazing flavors! Thank you.
This tea does a pretty good job giving a good chocolate flavor, but as a chocolate lover I wish that it could be even richer. Sometimes I add a splash of cream to it if I make it double strong.
Very enjoyable
Loved this tea and the chocolate yummy flavor!
I tried this tea at a friend's house and immediately ordered a tin for myself. I've had other chocolate teas before but found them too strong and heavy. In this one, the chocolate taste is subtle and a great combination with the earthy taste of the maté. It has become my go to in the morning and pairs well with both a savory and a sweet breakfast.
I love this tea and re-order it often so that I am never out of it. I usually drink it multiple times/day and often steep it with another fruity type tea bag. Yum! It satisfies a chocolate craving for me in a healthy way. I love this tea.
This scratches the itch for a nice cup of hot chocolate without tons of calories. Love it!
I look forward to my morning chocolaty tea with a subtle, mellow caffeine boast. If coffee has too much caffeine for you and you enjoy Numi chocolate Pu-ehr, then you'll probably love this. I add a tad of plant milk and a few drops of stevia or monkfruit to make the drink richer, sweeter, and more velvety...yummy like dessert without all the calories.
I regularly purchase this Chocolate Mate Tea. It has a wonderful chocolaty taste. Not as heavy as a hot chocolate drink, but a great blend of the mate (tea) taste and a light chocolate flavor. very good. One of my favorites!!
I guess I"m just getting to appreciate mate more and more recently but adding to the chocolate really makes for a nice smooth "round" flavored chocolate tea that doesn't seem to require milk to taste "like chocolate" as some regular "real" chocolate teas do. I really like this one. Maybe it's like a highly caffeinated milk chocolate without the milk. .... in any case yummy. ....
When I have to be at work for 5am for a 10 hour shift this is the tea that gets me through. Works better than coffee, no crash, tastes amazing!
Soothing chocolate to relax too.
Absolutely ADORE this tea! Gives me the lift I need and the chocolate taste is just *chef's kiss*. This is definitely going in my permanent rotation!
I have been purchasing this tea for years. I brew it with additional cocoa nibs and Rebublic's Matte Latte for great chocolate iced tea. It needs no sweetener which is great for the diet.
I bought this tea as a healthier substitute for my hot cocoa addiction, and it delivers. It's the perfect dessert tea after a meal, for watching a movie, or reading by a fireplace. I also added the splash of warm milk noted on the can. Yummy!
This tea is perfect for satisfying a chocolate craving when you don't want to give in to a sugary chocolate bar or hot chocolate. I usually use 2 tea bags in my large 12oz mug. It is not exactly like a cup of hot coco, but like I said - if you are wanting the next best thing, it is delicious. I also highly recommend the Banana Cuppa Chocolate tea! I prefer this with a splash of soy or oat milk. Super satisfying!
This tea is sublime - incredible flavor, very smooth to the palette, wonderful any time of day or night for me. It has become a staple in my tea collection & cupboard from my first purchase! Yummy is a good word for it too! 😋
I am a HUGE fan of The Republic of Tea and have several variaties. My favorite being Mate Latte which has a delicious chocolate taste. However, Organic Double Dark Chocolate Mate does not taste like chocolate at all to me. I cannot really describe the taste but it's not chocolate. I will not be reordering this.
I just tried this tea for the first time and I will definitely reorder! Some things are just worth paying a little extra for and this is one of them. Dessert in a cup!
I have a cup or two each day. It is like dessert in a cup but healthy. It doesn't need anything added however I add a scoop of chocolate collagen power to my first cup each day. Great way to start the day! Awesome hot or iced.
My feelings are mixed because although yummy, the price is higher than I expected. This tea creates a rich flavorful cup of low cal indulgence that is a pleasure to share.
The mate' has just the right amount of chocolate flavor and isn't too sweet. It's a bit pricey, but the really good things usually are. :) My only wish is that The Republic of Tea offered more mate' flavors (Mate' Latte does not appeal). I had heard that mate' does not stain your teeth the way most black teas do, and I have definitely found that to be true.
What a delicious option for those of us who are trying to stay away from sugar-filled cocoa mixes. This tea satisfied my chocolate craving. I like it with a little organic stevia and cream.
I really enjoy this organic, roasted Yerba Maté blended with carob and organic dark cocoa powder. The "Double Dark Chocolate" name is a bit misleading, as this doesn't have an intense chocolate flavor even when brewed for the full 7-minute maximum recommended brewing time, but it does have a delicious, subtle chocolate flavor that I quite enjoy. I add non-glycemic sweetener (monk fruit and allulose), which helps bring out the chocolate flavor and let's me enjoy a sweet treat even on a low carb, ketogenic diet.
My addiction to chocolate has been epic and fattening. I'm trying to break it. This tea is a great substitute. I brew a larger than normal cup with two bags and Stevia. The smell alone helps with my chocolate cravings. By the time I've gotten through a large cup with extra flavor, I am sane again. I've tried the cuppa series but the flavor was not intense enough. This is, and it's also good combined with one of the cuppa bags.
This is smooth and delicious. I'm a coffee person and I really enjoy this tea.
This is my go to in the cold weather for sure! It's creamy and chocolaty like hot cocoa but not so heavy. Love this one!
The cocoa flavor really shines through in this Mate. I enjoy it with lunchtime meals,or as a dessert tea some evenings! It really is delicious!
So if you get this expecting hot chocolate level flavor then you're going to be disappointed. This is a tea so you have to expect subtle flavors. It is very yummy with subtle chocolate flavor and an overall comforting taste.
I guess I was expecting more of a chocolate-y taste with a name like Organic Double Dark Chocolate Maté. To me, it has only the slightest hint of cocoa - and that's with 2 bags per serving. But it does have a wonderful smell and I didn't want the tin to go to waste, so I started drinking it on days that I'm intermittent fasting. When you're not eating anything at all, even a hint of cocoa can be a treat. I may reorder for this reason alone, unless I end up liking another chocolate tea better.
I drink this straight, no sugar or milk. It smells like chocolate; not sure about the taste, but this is my preferred tea in the morning. It does have hints of chocolate. My husband drinks it sweetened and that definitely brings out the chocolate flavor.
This tea is a special treat. I brew a pot on a chilly day and savor it all day. The flavor is rich and full and bonus that it is no/low caffeine.
I love all things chocolate, so it's not surprise I love this tea. Rich and soothing, it's one of my all time favorites..
I had high hopes for this chocolate tea after reading so many positive reviews, but I have to say that for me, nothing about Double Dark Choclate Mate lives up to its name. I don't taste much chocolate at all, maybe just a weak hint that is more carob-like than real chocolate. The color may be dark but the taste is mild and light. I guess there is a slight mate in the background. I've made this several times, sometimes steeping 15 minutes or more and using 2 teabags, but the flavor remains soft and almost weak, not bold and forthcoming, like the words "Double Dark" would suggest. The flavor is ok in a gentle, unassuming way, but not what I was led to believe would be a 'chocolate' tea. There seem to be several others who have a similar impression.
I order this one throughout the year ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸
I started drinking mate' because it doesn't stain your teeth as much as "regular" tea does. Yerba mate' is fine--just not exciting. I also have a marvelous blend from a local tea shop, but I wanted something else. Trust Republic of Tea to have just the thing! This Double Dark Chocolate Mate' has a definite chocolate flavor--without any bitterness--mixed with the mate' taste I love. I'll be buying this for a long time, along with the many other tasty teas I get from RoT.
This was the first time I purchased this flavor. My wife loves chocolate. She loved this tea. We plan to order more very soon.
This is one of my all-time favorite teas from the large variety offered byThe Republic of Tea's great collection. It has a nice chocolate favorable and is really treat.
I love chocolate, good chocolate. I have some every evening after dinner with a tea from Republic of Tea. This is one of my favorites because of the chocolate notes and the fact that it's herbal, so I don't have to worry about having caffeine at night.
THIS TEA. Just believe me when I say it's worth the price. I was over at my friend's house for our weekly Tea Tuesday (we like tea, okay?) and she brought a tin of this stuff up to me, took the lid off, held it up to my nose and told me to sniff. I did. Immediately I got cocoa powder up my nose and proceeded to hack up half a lung, BUT it smelled heavenly. So heavenly that breathing it in almost SENT me to heaven. But THEN when she brewed me a cup and topped it off with a splash of creamy oat milk? I'd marry this tea if I wasn't already engaged. Dessert in a cup. And I know what you're thinking. You've heard people call tea dessert in a cup over and over, and you don't want to get burned again. Trust me, you won't. Unless you drink this while it's still boiling, in which case, you had it coming. Just trust me on this. For a while, I was drinking three cups of this a day, and it's decently caffeinated, so I wasn't even drinking my morning coffee (scandalous, I know), AND I wasn't craving desserts because it satisfied my sweet tooth. The only negative is the price tag, but it's worth it.
Comfort drink at its best. My favorite is to mix a tea bag of this with a tea bag of cinnamon toast tea plus a splash of cashew milk. Yummy!
This is the only tea I drink now - cold as well as hot. Delicious without milk, but milk does add an additional richness to it. It's expensive, but so very worth it.
A satisfying mildly caffeinated sip in place of coffee that has bolder taste with higher levels of caffeine. I add a touch of oat milk creamer for the sweetness I prefer and sometimes a pinch more cocoa powder as I find many of the flavored the teas - fruit, spice or chocolate infused - are too weak in that flavor for my liking. I use certain teas to simmer hot cereal and grains in for added flavor and as this tea is considered a desert tea, I will use it in place of another liquid in a dessert recipe.
I randomly ordered this strictly from the website description. Nice, sweet treat tea. I recommend if you enjoy chocolate. Opening the tin releases chocolate scent.
I drink this instead of a second cup of coffee in the mornings. It has a pretty good flavor but for caffeinated tea I like the blackberry sage better.
I drink this instead of a second cup of coffee
I add cocoa powder, cream, and flavored sweetner for a decandent daily go-to.
Absolutely delicious. I like it with milk.
This tea satisfies my after dinner sweet tooth, will purchase again!!
Delicious hint of chocolate! Prices too high for me to buy very often.
Ordering is easy, shipping is fast and efficient. I also like the non-plastic packing used!
This is a nice way to spend time sipping and reflecting.
Blander flavor, cannot taste the chocolate.
Has a rich chocolate flavor. I have tried several other chocolate teas and none have this much flavor.
This is my dessert substitute end of day tea - so delicious! It's chocolatey and nutty, just perfect with some milk.
I usually brew and flavor my own maté and I like strong brews, so these factors will color my review. This tea is... fine. It smells wonderful, taste is extremely mild, and it does have a more carob-than-chocolate-flavor, and barely any maté notes to it, as mentioned in some other reviews. Some things that helped were doubling up on tea bags, adding cream, adding cacao/cocoa powder. I'm trying not to add sweeteners to my beverages, but that would also be a good option. If this tea came loose, I might consider buying it again. But as it stands, I'm more interested in brewing my own version that tastes right the first time. As-is, it's too much work to gussy it up.
This tea really taste chocolate.
Loved the flavor of the dark chocolate tea, I usually have it after my meal in the evening and it taste so good I don't need any other dessert.
This is great!! I love it with a couple drops of vanilla monk fruit sweetener and a little cream. Great way to start my day!
Amazing selection
This double dark chocolate is the best. I drink it whenever I get a craving for dessert. When I have a glass of dry red wine, out comes this tea, great chocolate and wine pairing. No need to put anything in it, it's great all by itself.
One of my faves! This really has great chocolate flavor. I just wish there was a decaf version as well.
I discovered this tea a few years ago but couldn't find it in the stores very easily. I tried other brands that were 'chocolately', but this one was the best.
This was bought as a gift along with a gift certificate for my Aunt. She loves these teas!!!!
Just not a tea drinker at heart? Could not find happiness is my cup.
This has turned in to my favorite tea. I drink at least a cup a day and always have it on hand.
Finished product tastes like cocoa or chocolate. Depends upon to what you compare it. It is one of my favorites, regardless of vendors. I rate it as 9.5 out of 10. Another treat is Strawberry Cuppa Chocolate, also a 9.5. Not many get this rating.
I bought the tea because I do enjoy chocolate anything. Unfortunately, this tea is very, very mild. It has a wonderful smell, but the tea itself does not have a lot of flavor. I tried it and so did my son, this is not one that I will be buying again. I do not use sweetener in my tea and maybe that would help, but I really just wanted a nice tea I could sip and enjoy without adding anything to it.
It satisfies my afternoon craving for something chocolate and soothes at the same time!
This is the most chocolate-y (I know that's not a real word.) tea I've ever tasted. It really needs to be sweetened for me and I use stevia. I hope The Republic of Tea never decides to do away with it.
If you love chocolate then you will love this tea!
love this tea
I have added and taken this one out of my cart so many times and finally just bought it. I'm so glad I did. It is delicious. You can actually really taste the cocoa and there's no Rooibos unlike the Mate latte. With the Mate latte I used to add a tsp of cocoa powder but now this one is perfect as is, with a splash of milk. Def one of my top 5 teas and I have many of them
I love this mate! I usually double brew and have over ice. My favorite way is to sweeten with stevia (I know, its not for everyone), add ice and a splash of toasted coconut milk. So decadent!
I love this tea, it has become my favorite. I look forward to having it every morning!
Delicious tea and not too overpowering at all
This is my favorite tea. Very good flavor. I add a splash of creamer or milk.
I like this tea pretty well. Would order it again.
Very smooth with high chocolate note and it is organic!
This tea is very good. Chocolate lovers will definitely like it. Felt like having a treat, without calories.
I've tried a number of different chocolate teas, various brands, and found most of them disappointing. This is the one that satisfies me. Nice rich hearty tea with enough of a chocolate flavor that you know what you're drinking.
I love this tea! The first sip of it each day will make you go ahhh and smile. Nice chocolate flavor and I can't say enough good things about it. I drink this tea each day. I've been looking for a duplicate tea that matches a chocolate tea I purchased in Amsterdam, they do not export and therefore, I found this tea and I can say it is just as good or better. I highly recommend this tea.
Mate Latte is my favorite tea ever so I thought I'd try this to see how it compares. It's pretty good. I definitely like the Mate Latte better, but this is still good. Because it only comes as bags and not loose leaf, I probably won't buy this again. If it came as loose leaf I'd probably throw it into the rotation more often.
I had higher hopes for this tea. I'm not sure that I would say that it tastes like cocoa. To me, it has more of a floral flavor. I've repeatedly looked at the ingredients, because it has a hint of roibos, which I greatly dislike. There's no roibos in this tea. I'm not sure what I'm picking up. I'm sure that I'll finish the canister, but I wouldn't buy it again. I have to say that this is the first Republic of Tea tea that I can say that of. Everything else has been great.
I have always loved chocolate mate tea - have been waiting for you to have one to offer. This is one of the best I have had. Hope it will be a permanent offering.
Delicious chocolatey tea without being too sweet. Fabulous with a splash of milk.
This tea is SO, sooooo good. I LOVE this with a splash of vanilla flavored creamer! It is my "treat" tea because I would be broke if I drank this one like I do the Ginger Peach.
This tea is just ok but to get a real chocolate flavor I added a little unsweetened cocoa powder and I liked it much better. Might try one of the cuppa flavors next because having to add to make this tea what I think it should be isn't fair for the price imo. I do crave it sometimes but not enough to keep buying this.
I absolutely love chocolate tea, so getting this was a no-brainer. Adding cream and sugar, it tastes similar to hot chocolate, but not as heavy. It's great!
Oh my lovely! Where have you been all my life? I love this tea! Doing keto deprives you of sugar and treats. This is a fantastic substitute! I have shared this at work, my co-workers all agree and love it too! I just ordered more.
Every evening this is my go-to tea after dinner. Love that I can sip my chocolate.
I bought this tea for the first time about a week ago and absolutely fell in love with it!!! Has a nice aftertaste and I love the fact that it's organic!
I absolutely love this tea!
This tea is delicious. When I am craving chocolate, this hits the spot! Definitely recommend...probably my all time favorite!
This is still tea (not hot chocolate), so if you're looking for something thicker, look into sipping chocolate or hot cocoa. This is my all-time favorite chocolate tea - the cocoa is rich, dark, & earthy and makes for a nice treat when you want something more decadent. It has also helped satisfy my chocolate cravings in a much more healthy way.
I had been looking for a chocolate flavored tea following the discontinuation of a chocolate tea by another brand. I've tried two (so far) luscious chocolate teas at Republic of Tea, one of which is the Organic Double Dark Chocolate Maté. I also appreciate that the tea came with packing material that is completely recyclable.
Enjoyable, satisfying and relaxing. I love the flavor and aroma. Officially my favorite.
I love chocolate and I absolutely love this tea. Whenever I am feeling I need something delicious, but not fattening. I brew a cup of this tea.
This is a new tea for me and I mostly use it as a treat or when I want a lift, but it is great added to an ice tea mix with fruity roobis and some mint.
Just pure chocolate deliciousness.
This tea is so yummy, it makes me feel like I am cheating on my diet. My afternoon delight!
I was skeptical when I ordered this but was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it and quickly ordered more. Not the same as rich hot cocoa of course, but much better for you with a unique taste that does make you feel like you had something chocolaty.
Light taste of chocolate with no sweetness. Very refreshing.
I was surprised by the brewing instructions (boiling water, 7 minute steep,) but I followed them to the letter and this gave an excellent cup of tea with a lovely chocolate flavor. I've tried many chocolate teas from around the country and this is the only one that I found satisfying. If you're using a coffee mug instead of a tea cup, you'll want to use two tea bags per mug.
This tea has a heavier flavor profile and has a rich taste. The chocolate flavor is not overpowering. Mate has great benefits, as well. I wouldn't be able to drink three cups of this in a row, as it feels a bit heavy compared to say, daily green tea, but it is an excellent treat and pick me up.
I love that stuff. This is what helps me start my day, every day. Wonderful flavor,.
This tea is very good . Just a hint of chocolate but enough to satisfy a sweet craving. I love this tea
Whenever I get the chocolate craving I enjoy the double dark chocolate mate Helps me stay on healthy diet
love this tea, just wish I could get packs of 100 instead of 250 or the single canister refill.
This is an acquired taste, like beer. It has an earthy taste but not like dirt. The chocolate powder adds nicer texture. I drink it "black" - no sweetener or creamer. This is great on an empty stomach because, unlike black tea, it will not cause nausea on an empty stomach. So, it's like the "black coffee" of tea. I like it a lot. It has higher caffeine content than tea too.
This tea really is perfect. One of the few I think doesn't require ANY extras. I usually put some sweetener and half a teaspoon of cream in my teas. This one is fine on its own, though because I have an insatiable sweet tooth I still put a pack of sweetener in anyway. Basically just makes in 5 calorie hot chocolate. I am in love.
This tea was given to me as a gift from a friend. It is so scrumptious! I add just a touch of heavy cream to it, which cuts the astringency of the tannins, making it silky smooth, add a little stevia for sweetening, and it tastes like melted chocolate revel ice cream! This is one of my new faves, and a little indulgence.
I am not a fan of mate at all, but LOVE this Double Dark Chocolate Mate! I originally got it for the brain benefits, and decided to use it as a base for my green protein drinks. It's great as a smoothie base, but great on its own as well. I'm shocked after being a strictly non-mate drinker.
This is really delicious. Nice cocoa flavor without the guilt, and just enough caffeine to make me feel human. Brilliant with almond milk.
So, I asked for a raspberry hot chocolate..."sorry we don't have that at this time" OH NO, I NEEDED A CAFFEINE FIX!. "well, we do have this nice chocolate tea" CHOCOLATE TEA? how good would that EVER be? well, it was DELICIOUS, just what I needed. A little creme, a little bit of sugar and I have just what I need. Wonderful!
I drink this very tasty tea in the morning before work plenty of energy very relaxed and at night I can sleep just the right amount of caffeine taste good with honey or agave
This is an Excellent Tea. Perfect for beginners like myself who are trying different kinds of tea. The Cocoa Powder provides Great flavor and has great taste. I add a little sugar for sweetness and is a amazing tea. Perfect for Chocolate and Tea Lovers.
It took a little getting used to. It is definitely NOT hot chocolate! So if that is what you were expecting, you'll be disappointed. I've been drinking this tea for quite a long time. A little coconut milk and some truvia and it's awesome. However, I tend to use 4 teabags per cup. I like it STRONG. It is a great replacement for coffee. Which I am unfortunately allergic to. So if you think it tastes weak, you might try 4 teabags and see what you think. I drink it almost every morning.
I LOVE this tea - it's a fantastic substitute for coffee from a caffeine perspective, especially if you are hooked on mochas. Make no mistake - this is NOT hot chocolate. If you've ever had raw cocoa, this is more the taste. I'm a big fan of yerba mate as well, so if you like yerba, this may be a good tea for you.
This tea is wonderful, yummy and soothing. I love, love, love it so much that I brought a friend her own container of this tea. I will order more soon.
This is the MOST wonderful 3pm pick-me-up, especially with the dark afternoons. I add 4 TBSP of Silk Vanilla Soy creamer. The result is around 80 calories of choclate-ness. Yum!
Deep, dark, rich flavor. Almost coffee-ish. Love this tea first thing in the morning. Haven't tried it with milk or sugar, but I'm sure the addition would be heavenly. Will be keeping this around as a stable in my pantry.
We love to mix our Assam full leaf tea with the contents of these wonderful teabags - makes a wonderfully civilized and relaxed beginning before the tension of the business day sets in!
I discovered this tea during the holiday season. Its now June, and I'm still drinking it daily. I can't seem to get enough....love it!
I am very happy with my chocolate tea...great chocolate taste! A great dessert tea!
I love Mate anyway, but you need to sweeten it to drink it. This Double Chocolate is so good, you don't need to sweeten it. Better yet, Chocolate! YUM!!
I asked for a sample of this tea and I was not disappointed. I didn't expect to like it because I am not always a fan of chocolate (let alone double dark chocolate) but it tasted AMAZING! I highly recommend this. Just a bit of brown sugar makes this quite a treat.
This tea has plenty of chocolate flavor and I love to have it like a dessert at night or when I want to feel like I am getting a treat without all of the calories!
THIS IS THE BEST TEA I THOUGHT THE PERSON WHO SAID IT IS HER NOW HOT CHOCOLATE WAS STRETCHING THE TRUTH NO SHE WAS RIGHT. I ADD CREAM AND STEVIA AND I AM IN HEAVEN. IT IS A NICE DESERT
After tasting this tea, even my husband is a convert. Just opening the can, the deep, dark chocolate smell wafts out and gets you excited to try it. It's a deep, strong flavor and perfect pick me up in the morning. If you add a little stevia, it is desert in a cup.
delightful aroma, well balanced taste, very satisfying, just what I want for breakfast
It smells yummy and the taste is smooth. I was a little concerned it might be bitter but was way off. Definitely a do over.
My new "cup of hot chocolate."
When I read some of the not so favorable reviews I almost did not order this WONDERFUL tea. My husband and I love it. No, it is not like taking a bite of a chocolate bar, but a delightful flavor of chocolate. I only wish there was a decaf version.
I was looking for something with caffeine, to replace a non tea drink, I'm removing from my diet. Came across this @ Whole Foods, and it is perfect. I wanted the caffeine, but didn't expect the wonderful taste that goes with it. Wonderful, wonderful - nothing better than chocolate!
I've never had a chocolate flavored tea before so this was a little odd tasting at first. Now I wake up craving this tea. I just can't seem to get enough of it. Sometimes I mix it with the banana cuppa chocolate tea as well. Yum!
I always make this with two bags in a big cup of water and keep the bags in as i'm drinking it; add a little vanilla soy, and it's awesome. It's not a cup of hot chocolate, and it's not meant to be.
I first bought a canister of this some time ago. It was filled with powdered cocoa and it quickly became my fave. I ran out and bought a bulk bag. There was no loose cocoa powder in the bag and the tea did not taste the same. Certain I had received a bum batch, I notified ROT and they sent me another bag - still no cocoa powder. I don't know why my first canister had so much cocoa powder in it, but that really made the tea. So now, I am adding unsweetened organic cocoa powder to my cuppa. I like it much better this way.
I expect high and low ratings for things involving taste - we are all different. But if you want to give this a fair shot, you need to remember it is HERBAL and needs boiling water and a 5-7 min. steep (I do 7) for flavor, sometimes 2 bags per cup which might be the only negative I have. We drink it with cream no sweetener, iced or hot and love it. If you are looking for hot chocolate, drink hot chocolate! We do low carb a lot and this is like a great treat that keeps cravings away (mate might help with that, too) It is not my top favorite tea but I really like it.
I don't know if I got half-filled bags or improperly filled bags or what...the only taste I get is that of tea. No chocolate whatsoever....doesn't matter if I try it plain, with sweetener, or with milk. There's supposed to be cocoa powder apparent...there isn't. I just used the last teabag and I won't be buying this again.
Sorry, but this just doesn't do it for me. I love the Honey Ginseng Green Tea so I was really looking forward to tasting this one because I also love chocolate but I don't care for it at all.
for chocolate tea, it's one of the better ones. it's not hot chocolate, it's still tea. I'm a chocolate lover, i'm a tea lover, i'm a coffee lover, and i have a loud sweet tooth. It's not a bad tea but if i'm in the mood for chocolate, i'll just have chocolate. and then i'll grab one of the ROT's hibiscus flavors.
I'd had this wonderful tea a while back and when I found myself running low I just had to order more. It's totally chocolaty, smooth, rich and an absolutely perfect cold winter morning (or evening) beverage.
I wanted to love this tea, but the fact is, it's tea. My taste buds wanted something a little more substance like hot chocolate, but it tasted to me more like chocolate water.
I don't know how this tea has so many good reviews. I tried it for the first time recently with three other people and no one liked it. Three of us are not very picky, but we couldn't even finish our cups! My girlfriend -- who I would say is a little picky in taste -- nailed it. She said she could tell they weren't using real chocolate. I looked at the ingredients and sure enough, the main ingredient is "carob", a chocolate substitute that doesn't actually taste like chocolate, and is much less flavorful (read more about it here: http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/what-is-carob.htm). The next ingredient is Yerba Mate, then "organic natural dark chocolate flavors", whatever that means. After that, they finally list cocoa, but they clearly do not put enough in to make the tea taste good. Bottom line, it tastes like some chemical imitation flavor, the way watered down cherry kool aid might resemble the flavor of actual cherries. Some people like drinks like that. I don't. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect a
I sip a cup of this tea everyday after lunch and it helps me get through the rest of my work day afternoon. The aroma is fabulous!
make it extra chocolaty with chocolate stevia!!! yum!!
WOW! True dark chocolate taste! Absolutely Wonderful!
It's not my favorite Chocolate tea. I don't think I'm used to the Mate. It has a unique scent and slight aftertaste that I'm not fond of. I much prefer the flavor of the Republic of Tea peppermint chocolate herbal tea.
Love this tea! It's just the right amount of chocolate- nice a light and guilt free!! Came back for more!
Very tasty. I've been brewing it double strength and sweetening it with Truvia and some unsweetened almond milk. Delicious in the morning especially since I can't drink coffee!
I love this tea. It has a very good taste.
hmmmmm - this one is good, flavor is good. I unfortunately have not found that rich flavored "cocoa" tea yet. I will keep searching
Deep, rich and satisfying!
A chocolate lovers delight!!!
I went through the first 2 tins, and the store I purchased it from no longer had it in stock. Thought I wouldn't like chocolate tea before I tried this. I absolutely LOVE it! and have gone on to try different blends, so far none are better or even come close to this wonderful rich chocolatey treat.
We mix this and assam black tea together for breakfast, and a wonderful boost to our day! I don't know how we ever got started without it!
VERY earthy, more cocoa than chocolate really. I was a good 15 tea bags in before I decided I really liked it. So if you bought it and didn't like it, ship it to me, or just keep trying.
This used to be my favorite tea until the banana chocolate variety came along, but it's still a very close second. I'm a glutton for all things tasty, so I add chocolate flavored stevia to really punch up the chocolate flavor in this incredible yerba mate tea. Add some milk and it's like having a warm cup of cocoa with zero calories. Chocolate skinny-ness. What's not to love!
Wonderful chocolate flavor but no bitterness. Great with a litle almond milk! Very smooth!
Add a little stevia sweetener and it tastes like dessert, but with a lot fewer calories. Great tea!
This has a great chocolate flavor. I had it at a cafe' somewhere and had to order it. It was worth the money, it's one of my favorites.
We mix with with our Assam tea in the mornings for a breakfast boost - and start the day smiling!
Great "different tea". The chocolate adds a depth of flavor so nice on a cool evening outside watching the stars.
I'm not a huge fan of mate, and my initial impression of this was - "ergh". Mate just ends up being too bitter for me. But I stuck with it and added a tiny bit of sugar and full cream to it...okay, I'm convinced. The touch of sugar and cream make it taste like grown-up hot chocolate! Very good!
BEST chocolate flavor ! Not artificial tasting ....
I like this tea a lot. The tea has a nice flavor and is not too strong. I like chocolate and this help with that.
great flavor but too weak! Have started using double tea bags to get the flavor i expected.
This tea was delicious with some rice milk and a touch of sweetener.
Execellent way to do a yera mate
I have to say I usually don't agree with other reviewers in terms of taste and smell but this one really has a paint smell and an after taste. It is my only dissappointment with Republic of Tea. Anyway, I use it during this allergy season because of its therapeutic effects. It may help to mask the flavor & smell to mix it with another flavored tea or beverage.
just right when you need a little chocolate without all the unwanted extras (calories!)
I love this tea - this is the second time I have bought the 250 bags - I went through the first in no time. I use 2 teabags to make 20 oz. tea each morning. I add sweetener and soy milk and sip to my heart's content.
This tea was exactly what I was hoping for. I have had several of the other chocolate teas but with this one I wanted more of the chocolate taste.
I was excited to try this tea. When I made my first cup I thought it smelled like paint. Then I tasted it and it tasted like paint. So i got some of my friends in the kitchen and didn't tell them what I thought just to give me their first impression. They all said this smells like paint. I don't know if I got a bad batch but I did not enjoy this tea. Love the Good Hope Vanilla though.
Wow, what a surprise. Thank you Amber for sending this sample of double dark tea to me. I would never have ordered this tea. I am into greens, black & herb teas. In my first cup I didn't add any milk because I did not want to change the great taste. The next time I put in an order I will have this on my list. Just an extra note to thank you for your great teas. I have been drinking green teas since I was five sitting in my grandmother's kitchen. She did not ever drank coffee like her children and because she was my beloved grandmother I too would drink Liptons green tea which was the only green tea in her market. I have been drinking green teas for sixty years and I am very glad I found your teas at Mother's market many years ago, your the BEST! Thank you, Sandra
I wasn't sure about this one, but WOW! I love it! And I will definitely order this one again -- smooth, with a bit of sugar and cream, it is a delight!
This is so good hot, but with a little sweetener and over ice, it is incredibly delicious.
This makes a wonderful cup of tea for the chocolate lovers. My 11 year old daughter and i drink a cup every morning with breakfast.
Throughout my first few cups of this tea I found it weak and somewhat lackluster, but it grew on me as time wore on. I now prefer its somewhat weaker character, as you can taste more than just chocolate - hints of earth and smokiness too. I usually have a cup of this after lunch at work and it is a great tasting way to get rid of the post-lunch doldrums.
lovely cocoa flavour
I very much DID NOT like this. It was expensive for a tea I will not drink again!
So, I read Fred Schmed's comment from Dec. 6th that said, (in summary) 'the mate latte is better in the sense that (he implied) it has more flavor and more robust'. So, I was so excited to get the Mate Latte, knowing how much I already LOVE the double chocolate. Well, this is where I can really appreciate the difference in opinions. I found the opposite, and that the Double Chocolate is much more chocolaty and flavorful than the latte. I will write my latte review in the appropriate place, but really wanted to write this review in this area too, because I did take his advice, and was disappointed in the latte, but feel that I am glad I tried it, because it really solidifies my loving of the double chocolate tea!
I really enjoy this tea, and in fact, crave it in the morning instead of coffee. Everytime I take a sip, I say, "mmmmm" to myself! With this said, I understand where the reviewers are coming from when they describe it as weak. It is a tea, not hot cocoa. I think it would be most enjoyed by those who do not have sugar in their diet, and the chocolate stevia addition is very yummy, but not necessary. I highly recommend this tea to anyone who might have stopped eating sugar / starches and want a delicate treat or new morning ritual, and not for those expecting Nestle.
This tea is a great afternoon pick me up. It has helped me stay on my diet and away from chocolate candy. One cup and I feel like I have had my dessert.
My disclaimer: I don't know a lot about tea. This particular flavour was OK - I have to use 2 teabags per cup to ensure that it resembles a chocolate flavour. It may be that I'm just not used to Yerba Maté. In any event, the scent of this tea is really lovely.
Fabulous aroma and nice flavor, too, but not very much of it. I use two bags, otherwise it is way too weak. Make it stronger and I'll have a new favorite mid-day treat!
I add a couple of drops of Sweetleaf Dark Chocolate Stevia to this cup of tea. Gives me a chocolate sweet treat with the benefits of mate and I'm very content!
I liked this real well and find I can slowly sip a cup and forget about that little snack I was going to have. I've given away several of the bags so now I need to order more. A massive quantity this time. I don't sweeten mine though some may. Either way, a taste treat to be sure.
I've been a mate fan for a long time and this is one of my favorite mate teas ever. So yummy!
This is a rich, tasty tea which is like liquid chocolate. I drink it without sweetener.
This is one of my favorite teas and I always keep it on hand. It grows on a person over time and gets better and better. Don't expect it to taste like hot chocolate; it doesn't. But it has a good subtle chocolate flavor that does not need sweetener. I use two teabags for a stronger flavor.
I like the taste of this tea. I feel like I am having a high calorie treat. This is my new favorite.
The taste is satisfying but you find shards of a cream colored material in your mouth and cup which is very unpleasant. I much prefer the strawberry-chocolate. I expect to return the chocolate matte. The sample of comfort and joy in my order is out of this world. Wish I had ordered this.
This tea is wonderful! Don't know how anyone says they can't taste the chocolate, because that is basically all I am tasting. I let this steep for about 5 minutes,a nd add 4 sugar cubes...what you get is a cup of heaven! This and the Coconut Chocolate tea are wonderful. Tried the Red Tea ones, and they tasted horrible. Whatever they use to make the Red Tea is so strong and it overwhelms everything else. Try this, and you'll never need a chocolate fix again! I'm addicted!!!
This is by far the best chocolate tea ever! So happy they are making it. I've tried several chocolate teas but this one beats them all. I bought it for some friends and they enjoy it.
As a chocolate and tea lover, I was excited to try the Double Dark Mate. While I allowed the tea to seep, you couldn't help but enjoy the wonderful aroma which put me in mind of a hot chocolate. Perhaps, then, it's a trick of my senses that would not allow me to enjoy this. Expecting a bold and rich flavor that might be present with the drink that came to mind, this just didn't deliver the taste I was expecting. It's not a bad drink, but takes a bit of getting used to.
It has little taste. . .and the taste it does have isn't good and stays in your mouth for hours. Go for the Raw Green Bush Tea. . .this one was good.
Very good with sweetener and milk. I love it.
This stuff is really strong and rich! It has almost a coffee flavor to it, which surprised me.
This tea smells SO great but the flavor is SO weak. I am disappointed. Not sure that I'll buy it again. More chocolate flavor and Yerba Mate and I think you might have a winner. Sorry.
This tea is amazing!! Just the thing if you are having a sweet craving- without the stress or guilt!
This tea smells great but the taste leaves much to be desired. It is very weak, there is a chocolate idea, but the robust flavor of a mate tea is sadly missing. When paying over $12 for 2 oz. of tea I expect to be wowed. Instead I was put to sleep.
This is one of the few chocolate teas at RoT that does not also have Rooibos (unfortunately Rooibos does not agree with me - can't win them all). This is a delicious tea! I have it at work after lunch and it is quite the pick-me-up. It is not like other chocolate teas that have no chocolate taste and simply smells good. This is great stuff.
Excellent with a splash of milk and a little sugar. You have to steep it longer than most teas to get the most benefit - but it's so worth it!
Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed by this mate. It is just a week tea. It smells divinely chocolatey, but I usually use two tea bags just to get half that flavor. I tried adding steamed milk once and overwhelmed the tea completely. This is the first tea I ordered from Republic of Tea that didn't stand up to its description.
And you thought everything to be done with chocolate had already been tried! I'll admit I was skeptical . . . chocolate tea? Well, it's definitely CHOCOLATY! The texture is still tea, but the aroma and taste are blissfully chocolate. (and I don't have to feel guilty about the calories.)
