The problem is that the two varieties I got were really strong flavored. Even with cream and sugar added, it was on the bitter side.

So, I may try some of their other flavors, and I’m especially excited about their tea and cocoa K-cups.

Include it with organic green tea and you’ve got a combo to make any caffeine junkie happy. The Dark Chocolate & Green Tea Sampler Basket from Equal Exchange gives you a warm fuzzy feeling because you are supporting fair trade at the same time.

Includes three organic green teas and four organic dark chocolate bars in a fairly traded kaisa grass basket imported by Ten Thousand Villages from Dhaka Handicrafts, a non-profit that works to improve the lives of children and rural families in Bangladesh.
