Key Characteristics

Black Tea Base

Bold & Steady:
A robust black tea foundation provides depth, structure, and a satisfying strength. Its full-bodied character supports the chocolatey notes while keeping the blend grounded and invigorating.

Smooth Warmth:
The tea’s natural richness softens the spice and enhances the sweetened elements, creating a balanced, warming cup.

Cocoa, Carob & Chili Pepper

Chocolatey Sweetness:
Cocoa adds a deep, velvety richness reminiscent of a classic cup of hot chocolate. Carob introduces gentle, natural sweetness with a smooth, toasty undertone, making the blend feel indulgent without heaviness.

Heat:
Chile pepper delivers a soft, warming spark, pleasantly tingly with a kick. It adds a lively contrast that elevates the cocoa and tea base, creating a beautifully layered experience.

Safflower Petals

Bright & Balanced:
Safflower brings a delicate floral brightness and a touch of visual warmth, helping lighten the blend’s richness while adding a soft subtle lift.

Flavor Profile

Rich & Robust:
The black tea and cocoa create a deep, satisfying foundation with a comforting, chocolate forward profile.

Sweetly Smooth:
Carob rounds the blend with natural sweetness and a mellow, creamy body.

Gentle Heat Finish:
A soft chili warmth lingers pleasantly, adding intrigue without overshadowing the sweetness.
