Adagio TeaV episode 7: Mint Chocolate Chip
Zack decides to kill two birds with one stone. Will Adagio Teas lose our host to a rival food conglomerate? Watch to find out.
Pancakes! Ghiradelli chocolate chip pancakes!! 
I almost missed the tea review I was so fixated on those scrumptious looking medallions of yumminess 
I LOVE mint and chocolate together in lots of stuff: truffles, martinis, brownies, malts!
As a tea, mint and chocolate is tricky to do. My first attempt had just chocolate and spearmint in about equal amounts and the latter almost completely overwhelmed the former.
I have a NEW one ( http://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/b ... blend=2900) which has the same ingredients as the tea you reviewed, but the percentages are quite different; chocolate chip 60%, peppermint 30%, spearmint 10%. I have learned that mint goes a long way!
Of all the flavors that seem to repeat on the blends page, mint chocolate seems to be one of the most popular. I have found it very interesting to see what is being combined and in what amount. Has anyone tried a couple different versions of mint chocolate? I think it would be interesting to note some of the differences.
This was my favorite episode so far....probably because there were pancakes

It gets more entertaining and interesting with each episode and Zack seems to be more confident and relaxed compared to the first episodes. He managed to cover all the main points: content, steeping time, showed the actual tea and the label. Well done!
I like mint and I like chocolate but I don't like mint/chocolate combo. I know it's a classic combination but ... perhaps not for me.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Heh, I just realized looking at that label that the "Mint" is the logo to http://www.mint.com. So now I can take a look at how much of my budget is being spent on tea as I drink it.
