I think I get why Coffee is, by far, the most popular hot beverage in the world. But a serious Dark Hot Chocolate, is what's gotten me since I stopped coffee almost 15 years ago. And I don't mean that watery (no offense) Dunkin or Starbucks mess. I was hyped when I bookmarked Verdigris Tea and Chocolate a couple of years ago located in chic Hudson, NY.
I was engulfed by Verdigris' chocolate scent off the bat. Place is spacious with an enticing range of gourmet Teas, lots of teaware and tea accessories to turn every sip of your loose leaf tea you purchase here into a taste of poetry. And in a shop that's dominated by Tea and Chocolate, Verdigris threw in a few coffee drinks.
I think I was more numb with the heavy Chocolate scent, I completely forgot to pick up some loose Tea. Hubs powerful 'Angelina' Hot Chocolate hit all the high notes and was far tastier than my flat 'Mexican'. Maybe customize next time? Don't get me wrong, the spiciness and cinnamon were there, I just wished it had the same 'Angelina' rich component in mine. Service was pleasant from the ladies in the back to my hazel-eye girl in the front. Just so you know, this stuff isn't child's play- it's some serious undertaking when you come here.
