This tea is good, though I do consider the chocolate taste to be on the lighter side. I am going to try it with two bags instead of one to see if that creates a stronger flavor. Still such a fun tea for Hanukkah!
Ohmigosh. This is fast becoming a favorite indulgence. A little honey, some almond milk creamer, and a moment of peace. Ahhhhh...
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST
This tea is delicious. It absolutely reminded me of chocolate babka and I enjoyed it very much. I keep coming back to Republic of Tea because of the high quality of the products.
This is a delicious, chocolate tea. I add a little sweetener and 1/2 and 1/2 for a creamy, chocolate treat. I highly recommend it.
I bought this tea a couple of weeks ago for a treat to have during the holidays. It is fantastic! Just enough chocolate flavor to curb your sweet tooth. I would highly recommend.
Do you like hot chocolate, but not all the sugar and calories? You will enjoy the aroma and flavor of this tea!
Very much enjoyed this tea. Happy I tried it.
I decided to try this tea as an alternate to late-night hot cocoa and I'm glad I did! It satisfies my taste for chocolate without the calories. It tastes chocolatey without any aftertaste. I definitely will reorder again and keep it in my tea stash.
Chocolate Babka Tea is satisfying comfort in a cup. I may not have words to describe the tea but I can tell you it warms my soul when I drink it!
Tastes great!
I love the flavor. The chocolate is subtle but still there. About time a company came out with flavored teas for us tea drinkers. Kudos to Republic of Teas.
Wow! Chocolate Babka tea is the best! Like babka, the chocolate flavor is subtle but well-defined. It's great with or without sugar and/or cream. My new favorite! I'm ordering more today.
I love the new flavors and was amazed at the rapid shipping.
Yummy
I was pleasantly surprised. A really nice dessert tea. Very soothing and delicious. Would order again.
Republic of Tea always has great ideas and lovely combinations of flavors in their teas. This new Chocolate Babka is another success.
The chocolate babka tea was so satisfying. Obviously not the same as eating babka, but smooth and flavorful. It's a new winter favorite.
It's amazing - this tea really tastes like chocolate babka! Highly recommend.
This is my second purchase ; it truly is like having a dessert!
I am enjoying this tea and will definitely be serving it during Hanukkah week!
Love all the teas I recieve they are very favorable
I purchased 4 chocolate teas, and started with Babka. Delightful with a splash of cream!!
I first fell in love the chocolate strawberry tea and drink a cup every morning. This tea has a lovely, mellow chocolate flavor, perfect for an evening treat. Perfect bookends to my day.
Repeat purchase. Hope this one sticks around. Great flavor like a bakery in a cup.
I was looking for a good alternative to break my mocha latte habit as I try to move away from coffee. This is a much more subtle flavor, but I actually kind of like that. I add some sweet cream coffee creamer to it for sweetness and creaminess in order to help me with my latte transition.
I have bought a number of Republic Teas and like and often love them all. And although I'm not a fan of chocolate babka from the oven I really like this tea. It's now one of my favorites. I would have given it 5 stars but only gave it 4 because I think the chocolate flavor could be a little stronger. In my world, there's no such thing as too much chocolate. However, I do like this one a whole lot and will definitely be buying it again.
One of my favorites! Strong chocolate flavor and made with quality herbal teas. I also like that The Republic of Tea teas are organic and that they don’t use plastics in their tea bags.
This has a subtle chocolate flavor. Gonna try steeping it longer to see if we can also get a stronger taste.
Love Republic of Tea flavors. Consistently high quality and delicious. Love the dessert teas, tasty treat without the calories. Chocolate Babka is a favorite.
A great dessert tea. One of my favorites.
I have bought this tea several times. I like the rich chocolate flavor.
Absolutely delicious!
Excellent service. I was a little disappointed, I thought the flavor would be a little stronger. But, it is still very good
I love this tea! It tastes like chocolate candy without the calories. I will keep this one on hand.
This has become my new favorite tea! Pre-diabetes and being overweight meant my adored chocolate feasting needed to come to a strong curtailment. This tea is now my healthy and guiltless chocolate treat each evening! The warm, satisfying taste of Chocolate Babka is a blessing to this chocolate loving lady!! Truly a wonderful chocolate taste!
Second time I bought this - used up the first purchase very quickly. Great desert tea or a treat any time of day. Undertone of flavors - not overpowering. Love it!
Bought this tea last month and I tastes like having dessert
I enjoy most of the many teas I have tried over the decades, but this one not at all.
This is one of my favorite RoT teas. It is a bit on the mild side, but it satisfies a sweet craving. I only wish it came in a larger bulk format instead of tins-only!
The aroma of the brewed tea transports you to a chocolate shop. It is equally good unsweetened or with a small amount of sugar.
This tea tastes exactly like a slice of Chocolate Babka bread, which is wonderfully subtle pure chocolate, not overly sweet. We love this as an after dinner dessert with all the rich flavor and none of the calories of the bread. Amazingly accurate taste.
I bought this during Christmas (as I'd run out) and it's still one of my favorite teas in my collection. Even opening the can brings me joy as the aroma that comes from it reminds me of a deep breath of warm chocolate pudding. The taste is delicious and I find it even better with a splash of cream. No sugar needed as it's sweet enough for me.
This is a really nice tea. I have enjoyed it at breakfast in lieu of coffee, and have pared it with dessert. I only wish the chocolate flavor was more pronounced.
The chocolate taste is not as strong as I would prefer. That's just a personal thing. This would be a good tea for someone who likes their chocolate on the milder side.
Sweet enough to kill a craving. Not as chocolatey as the chocolate tea line, but a bit lighter. Would buy again.
This tea has become my new favorite desert tea. Rich chocolate flavor and aroma. Add a touch of cream and this becomes a satisfying after dinner treat. A fire in the wood stove, a cozy blanket, a good book, and a cup of chocolate babka tea…..perfect for Maine winters. Love it!
It’s a rich cocoa, nice and sweet like a cake! So warming!
This is a very nice chocolate tea. Adding half and half or a dash of cream to this tea is a taste of heaven- very satisfying and decadent. I hope ROT keeps this tea around for a long time.
I'm always down for chocolate anything, and this was wonderful! It's a nice hint of sweetness when you don't wand or need a full Dessert but you're craving a light something sweet.
I didn't get a real chocolate flavor from this. Red Velvet Cuppa Cake is better
Purchasing this tea was a coin toss (really didn't need another chocolate tea) but I am happy with the result. A lighter chocolate taste that can stand on its own. I don't use milk or cream.
I forgot that I was drinking a tea, with this one. Babka has a warm chocolate finish and it is creamy. It is as if you are drinking a cup of cocoa.
Impressively well Balanced, delicious, and a new favorite! Many added health and related benefits. Notably calming with sustained focus.
I absolutely love the aroma AND the taste of this tea. There's so much chocolate flavor in my cup. Can't wait to order a tin full!
Wonderful, delicious fragrance but the taste is much weaker than the smell. I don't dislike the taste, but it's not what I expected of something called Chocolate Babka . The taste is just not that distinctive.
I love this tea! It has a subtle chocolate flavor. I add a little oat milk and it's delicious!
I think this tea has a nice mild chocolate flavor, but the aroma when I open the can is not very appealing. I don't love the taste of the tea due to the aroma. I will probably end up throwing this can away.
This tea really does have the chocolate and pastry notes of a Jewish Babka with rich chocolate flavor being front and center but it needs a lot of sweetness to really bring this tea to perfection otherwise the bitterness of the cocoa/chocolate kind of takes over and leaves you feeling a bit cheated of the baked goods flavor that you're looking for.
One of our favorites. Delicious. Will order again.
This is perfect in the evening as a 'snack' when you are on a diet. It's rich, chocolatey and delicious. Would probably be good with milk, if you like that sort of thing
Wow! This chocolate tea is the BEST! I have been searching for chocolate tea since I was a young woman! My best friend and I would share this tea throughout our teens. As soon as I tasted the tea, it reminded me of how much we enjoyed drinking it together, so I ordered 3 canisters and shipped them to her home. She was overwhelmed with the flavor and the flood of memories. Never stop making this tea!!! Please!!
If you like chocolate babka, you'll love the chocolatey pastry flavor this tea brings to mind. I bought this for myself and as a gift for a friend. We both love it! I highly recommend and am so glad it's kosher.
Another tea that tastes like you are enjoying a special treat. So very good
Really interesting taste, better than most dessert teas I've tried.
I've discovered a new favorite, especially for chocolate lovers! I'll definitely be ordering this again!
This tea reminds me of the childhood treat that my mom brought us from a full service olde world deli. The memory reminder is very pleasant, but the flavor intensity is a bit weak. If steeped a bit longer or if 2 extra bags are added to a 4 cup pot, the flavor is delicious..
This is one of my favorite teas. Upon opening the container I was greeted with what smelled like chocolate pudding. I followed the instructions to let it steep for 5-7 minutes for my first cup, but found it lack luster. This is one of those teas that tastes better the longer you let it steep. It's good with a splash of milk too!
I used two teabags (because Republic of Tea is always stingy with amount of tea) in 10 oz of water, steeped for the longer recommended time, added some warm milk. There's very little color in the tea, so the 1% milk made it look like milky water. That was about what it tasted like, as well. The stevia sweetened it, and there was a hint of chocolate. That's it.
I was excited to see that Republic has some new releases for the holiday! This one was good, but not one of my favorites. I think I was expecting more of a chocolate flavor, which it seemed to be lacking, but it was still good. It retains the red tea flavor, and is a bit smoky, so it's also best served with milk and a light sweetener. Not quite what I was expecting but I would order it again.
The chocolatey-est tea I've ever tasted. Wonderful for dessert, but also makes a great will-power drink when you don't want to eat something you shouldn't, but really crave a treat.
I like the banana chocolate and red velvet chocolate teas by this brand, but this one is more chocolate heavy. It almost reminds me of brownies!
This was a brand new tea for me to try for my Christmas purchase. I usually like to have a few teas on hand at Christmas. Very flavorful. I am pleased with it!
I have tried other teas and ordered from other websites . This been a very good experience.
I've tried a few chocolate teas, this is the BEST one I've had! And the only chocolate tea I've enjoyed! Its sooo good. Still a lighter chocolate flavor, but its there and its delicious. I came on here to buy more!
Just a nice mellow chocolately tea that is a nice relaxing drink to have
This tea delivers on chocolate flavor. I'm a fan, and I'd compare the taste to diluted hot cocoa made from water. It was missing a bit of richness, and I think the chocolate flavor could've been even stronger, but I still recommend it.
I originally bought this when searching for kosher products and on a whim, added it to the regular tea I buy to get the free shipping. I'm very happy with this and plan to buy more myself and to give these out as Hanukkah gifts.
I wanted to like this tea as did my husband, but it was a disappointment. It really didn't taste like chocolate babka although thinking of it was a nice idea. Maybe it would have been better with a sweetener or cream, but meh! Nice idea, but it didn't hit it out of the ballpark for me.
I've never had a real chocolate babka, but a tea version of a dessert is always appealing. This is my favorite of RoT's chocolate blends--the cacao/carob are rich and smooth, not overly sweet, and the addition of dandelion does give me the hint of a pastry/bread shell. I really hope this one will not be limited to holiday only...!
I love the chocolate rooibos teas from The Republic of Tea. This new chocolate banks one is my new favorite!
Just wish this were available in bulk! Tasty, creamy with milk. I love the coconut cocoa tea as my usual bedtime tea, but this is a contender for a new favorite! Rich flavor. I've never tried real babka, but this tea is fabulous.
Love, Love,Love!!!
Pleasantly surprised by the the authentic chocolate babka flavor. Flavor is not weak nor is it overpowering. This tea is simply amazing and comforting, as we approach crisp autumn days. It is a perfect anytime tea and it's a bummer that it's a holiday limited edition.
I have several of the chocolate flavored teas in my collection of teas from The Republic of Tea. To me, this one has the most prominent rich chocolate flavor of all of them. I enjoy it with breakfast, but it would also be excellent as a dessert tea. If you like chocolate, you will probably like this tea. I will definitely buy again.
You want dessert, but don't want the calories, right? This tea will satisfy your tea and sweet tooth at the same time. I am very happy with this Chocolate Babka tea purchase. Wasn't sure of trying it, but so glad I did. I'm already thinking of who I will give this to as a gift.
I loved this tea, it had such a chocolaty taste and a hint of cream to me. It reminded me of hot cocoa without the calories or lactose. This is.my newest favorite tea!
Taste the cookies and chocolate, yum!!
Nice hint of chocolate - faint hints of coconut also (even though none is listed on the label). Great seasonal tea!
What I finally understand about The Republic of Tea is that the canisters are beautiful and the teas smell amazing. However, by and large, the taste of the brewed tea does not truly deliver on the promise. This tea has a wonderful aroma, but the flavor is not there. There are exceptions, those being the earthier and spicier selections, such as the Mushroom Chai. I have sadly had to seek other sources for teas that live up to their romantic descriptions.
I'm usually skeptical of dessert teas because they often end up being sickly sweet, but this chocolate babka tea is delicious! It has a subtle chocolate pastry flavor that I love. I've been looking for a good low-caffeine dessert tea to drink in the evening instead of having a snack, and this tea is perfect for that purpose. I will definitely buy it again!
Ignore the person who said it was weak, they must have Covid. I expected it to be weak, actually, but it was the perfect strength. Strong flavor despite a fairly mild-colored liquid. Also ignore the person who said it tasted artificial, they've obviously never tasted carob before. This tea is totally delicious, highly recommend. I'm really glad they didn't put rooibos in it, it would have ruined it (as it does with so many teas here).
I love the creamy taste. It has carob, but tastes almost like chocolate. Nice, full flavored tea. It's my favorite.
This tasted very much like a chocolate babka! Excellent hot comfort tea.
This tea is a real treat. It has a wonderful chocolate taste with an excellent blend of black tea.
it's like dessert in a cup
I was looking forward to this tea, as I enjoy a dessert tea in the evening. And I have enjoyed your other chocolate teas in the past. This had very little chocolate flavor. I let it steep for 5 or 6 minutes, but the flavor remained quite bland.
I purchased the Chocolate Babka and Raspberry Rugelach Teas as gifts to give to a dear friend. I was very excited to see these new Kosher Dessert Teas by RoT this year, and I know my friend will be excited to try them! Thanks RoT for preparing such great tea varieties that will appeal to many different people!
We love almost all Republic of Tea teas, but this one was awful. Very artificial and unpleasant flavors.
I've been searching for the perfect chocolate tea... and I've finally found it. Unlike the other chocolate teas, this one truly lets the chocolate-y-ness take center stage. It's the perfect dessert tea with milk. I love it so much, and I'm gonna need to stock up because apparently it's only going to be seasonal!! If you've been looking for a chocolate tea but were turned off by the red velvet, chocolate strawberry, etc teas... THIS is the tea to try. It smells so delicious - literally like a chocolate challah bread. It tastes delicious. I hope they decide to keep it year round.
My son's favorite tea!
I wanted to try something new! This tea is very good and satisfying in the afternoon with a treat.
It is great cold and with milk as well as a lovely slow hot sipper.
This was my first time buying this and I'm glad to have got it! The chocolate flavor is pretty strong and when it is brewing in the hot water, the smell hits you in the nose. I recommend using a splash of milk to give it a rich aftertaste to it. Will definently order this again!
This tea is so good. I add a little almond milk to it. It's perfect with breakfast and dessert.
