PRODUCT REVIEW

I've begun splurging on myself a little bit lately, buying things I normally wouldn't because I'm generally a cheap ass and have a strict opinion on how much something is worth, and how much I should spend on it. But like I said, lately I've been indulging myself. Trying new brands of things that are slightly more expensive. Two of these things have been tea and chocolate. Both things that I really enjoy but don't usually don't spend all that much money on.


This tea (above) has become my favorite thing. It is not caffeinated so I can drink it whenever, and it won't keep me up at night which is amazing. It has a very intense aroma that smells slightly like cinnamon, not so much like caramel which is odd, but it has an intoxicating smell that really took me off guard when I brewed it for the first time. I noticed the other day, (because I've had a cold the past few days and can not smell anything) that without the smell the tea doesn't have a very strong taste, so the smell of the tea plays a huge role in its taste. The taste itself is not overly sweet, but defiantly has a flavor of caramel. The caramel is not overwhelming which is good because I personally don't really like things that are too sweet, but the caramel is still noticeable and quite enjoyable. Overall I really enjoy this tea and I am looking forward to buying some other flavors made by this brand. Defiantly going to repurchase.


This chocolate (above) is also something that I've caved in and bought myself. It is $5 for only 100g which is why before now I hadn't bought it because I can buy other brands with more chocolate for a cheaper price. That being said, I've always been draw to the simple clear packaging and amusing, unique names of the bars. Each different flavor has it's own funny, punny title and I love how witty and interesting they are. The appearance of the chocolate bars were that main thing that drew me in and finally hooked me into buying one. Although, now that I've tried it, it has become my favorite chocolate. It is creamy and flavorsome and has a richer taste than brands like Cadbury. I am defiantly going to buy it again in the future, and I'm excited to taste all the other flavors. 

As you can see in the photos I've already opened and tried both the tea and the chocolate because I didn't feel the need to blog about them until after I tried them. The great taste of both of them as well as the beautiful packaging compelled me to make a post about it. The moral of this post is that its okay to indulge yourself sometimes because you may find new things you love. That's all I have to say about this tea and chocolate really, but I may make more of these in the future about any products that really stand out to me so be excited for those I guess. Let me know if there is anything you've recently fallen in love with or that you've tried for the first time, I'd love to know.
