I know what you're thinking: a chocolate tea can't replace a chocolate brownie, but hear me out. I've been trying out a nutritarian lifestyle for the past month, which means cutting out sugar, and I feel a thousand times better. Sugar makes me super bloated and disrupts my sleep, so even though I may crave something sweet like a brownie, I know I won't feel great if I eat it. But I still have sugar cravings, and this Teeccino Dark Chocolate Herbal Tea ($8) tastes truly amazing!
It has been the perfect treat to satisfy my chocolate cravings, especially when my family is enjoying an after-dinner dessert like chocolate chip cookies or a chocolate peanut butter cup. If you're typically not an herbal tea person, this will change your mind; it's unlike any tea I've ever had! Keep reading to find out how it tastes, the ingredients, and the nutritional information.

Why I Love Teeccino Dark Chocolate Tea
This Teeccino Dark Chocolate Herbal Tea ($8) reminds me so much of hot chocolate, but it's sugar-free and vegan. It has a richer and deeper chocolatey flavor, and is not as sweet, which I like. It tastes perfect as is, without any plant-based milk added, and I love that it's caffeine-free so I can sip on it at any time of the day.
I like to make a cup after lunch, and then after dinner, I'll add water to the same mug with the used tea bag to make another cup. It still tastes delicious!

Nutritional Info and Ingredients in Teecino Dark Chocolate Tea
This tea isn't calorie-free, but it's low enough with just 10 calories. It's also low in sodium, which is part of the nutritarian lifestyle, and as a bonus, offers a tiny bit of potassium. It's only made with carob, chicory, ramón seed, cacao, Prebiotic SuperBoost™ (vegan GOS: Gluco-oligosaccharide, organic XOS: Xylo-oligosaccharide), cocoa powder, and organic chocolate flavor.
Prebiotics are the food that probiotics eat, so this tea may help support digestion and regularity. I haven't had any issues in this department since I started eating nutritarian, so I can't say for sure whether this tea has really made a difference. But who cares because it tastes so damn good!
