More Dolce Vita - Tea Forte

A few weeks ago I reviewed three of the teas from Tea Forte's Dolce Vita collection (here and here.) Today I thought I'd publish the reviews of the remaining teas in the series.

Coco Truffle: Chocolate teas always give me pause as they are often lacking in flavor. Disappointing. Then I noticed that this was a tisane. I became even more concerned, fearing that this would be a timid offering. It was not. This was actually a really nice herbal option. This combination of cacao, fennel, licorice, and cardamom made for a rich, enjoyable blend. A nice evening option.

White Ambrosia: This white tea is blended with vanilla, coconut, and fruit. The coconut was readily apparent with a light frutiness - pineapple, perhaps. The coconut wasn't overpowering. I think the vanilla and fruit mellowed it a bit. This wasn't my favorite of the collection. It felt like something I'd had before while several of the other teas in this collection seemed completely unique to me.

Raspberry Nectar: A raspberry flavored tisane. I'm not a huge berry tisane fan. I will say though that this one smelled lovely and had a real raspberry flavor, not artificial. While it wouldn't be a favorite of mine, it was a well done herbal.

Overall I will definitely give the Dolce Vita collection a positive review. A nice selection of blends that are perfect when you need just a bit of sweetness. Most benefit from a touch of sugar, but they stand up well on their own. A great addition to the Tea Forte repertoire.
