During its long history, chocolate was originally drunk, not eaten, with its origins being traced back to the ancient Maya, and Aztec civilization in Central America. The Maya used cocoa beans as a form of currency as well as a special ingredient in their drink. For the Europeans, in the 1600’s and 1700’s, there existed a hefty import duty on cocoa, resulting in chocolate becoming an item that only the wealthy could afford to enjoy.

I'm not usually much for chocolate drinks, but this one works! It's got a smooth and very true chocolate flavor that is followed by the mint taste, all in a good black tea. I'll be getting more!
