Made from the company Rimann & Associates, the brand The Tea Room encompasses a wide range of tea infused organic chocolates. In this case, an organic milk chocolate bar infused with black masala chai tea. When I first read “masala,” I thought of this Indian dish called chicken masala. A quick search and I found that Masala Chai is translated in Hindi to “Spiced Tea.” The spices are a combination of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, peppercorn and cloves.

The chocolate bar is in a gold wrapper and tucked into a purple box. There is nothing really fancy about the chocolate bar itself. No fancy decorations on the chocolate, just 15 segmented bars. With my first bite, I mainly tasted really sweet milk chocolate and a hint of spices. Somewhere within the hint of spices, I could taste cinnamon and chai tea. One thing I disliked is the milk chocolate itself as it was really sweet and practically went to mush in my mouth.

Overall, this is an okay bar of chocolate with a major plus for it being organic. I would have opted for more of a pronounced Masala Chai flavor and maybe better quality chocolate. I did, however, put the chocolate in the fridge and that seemed to help with the chocolate texture. For the price of about $4, I would not buy this particular chocolate bar again, but I am interested in trying The Tea Room’s other organic tea-infused chocolate bars.
