Well close enough, my local Four Square store has Whittaker's Oolong tea flavoured chocolate bars... (my favourite dark chocolate and Oolong tea) I was tempted to buy the whole lot, but being mindful I only bought three bars (for the time being)
Mmmm... sounds good, @Shoshin, though I fear it has too little coca content...
I prefer brands with no less than 70 % cocoa.
My only exception is a brand here that has a Matcha green tea chocolate selection.
But as I well know, you're an Oolong kind of of gal, and I'm a green tea kind of gal

@DhammaDragon true... I also like the 70% plus cocoa content to, but beggars can't be choosers so I'll settle for the Deva-gati, ( the god realm for the time being )

Be careful @lobster if you eat too much chocolate you might turn into......well... chocolate
BTW the correct chocolate mantra "Mmm Yummy Chocolate Mmm" according to Lama Cadbury if you recite this mantra with feeling, amazing things happen to your taste buds ...
You are in heaven, not nirvana. Tsk tsk, precision of language.
One of the most interesting statements the Buddha made about happiness was with regard to Nibbana - the goal of Buddhism. He described Nibbana as the highest happiness. He also described Nibbana as the highest peace; the giving up of all desire and aversion; the relinquishment and abandonment of any form of personal, separate entity. This description does not fit our usual concept of happiness. When we think of happiness, we don't usually think of peace. Happiness is usually associated with a sense of excitement, like joyfulness, exhilaration or exuberance.

Samsara = Nirvana [OM MANI CHOKI HUM]
PS. If the Catholics changed their eucharist recipe, they could be on to a winner ...
'Forgive me Father I have been to mass three times today'
Tantric shrines are allowed to feature choccy. Mindful mmm .... Feed them hungry ghosts ...

We haz plan!
Very sophisticated! The cockney version would be a nice bar of choclit followed quickly by a strong cup of Rosy Lee.

Cuppa this to accompany?

@pegembara when I ate the biggest 'peace' of the chocolate that was Nirvana....
Heaven on earth, praise the Lord!
