CompositionThe multi-terroir framework and cocoa

The structure of this blend is based on a complex assembly of black teas, specifically designed to support the aromatic power of cocoa.

The black triptych

Ceylon brings liveliness and a coppery color. South India (Assam) adds a dense, malty body. Finally, Chinese black tea softens the whole with its natural finesse. This three-voice base prevents the chocolate from overpowering the tea.

The chocolate pairing

The real crushed cocoa beans bring a raw and noble bitterness, immediately softened by chocolate pieces that melt during infusion, creating a creamy texture in the mouth.

ExpertiseMy selection for a dessert tea

I designed this flavored tea to offer a true gourmet alternative, where the vegetal (tea) and the roasted vegetal (cocoa) interact harmoniously.

For whom?

TipsMy extraction protocol

Reference preparation

Extracting cocoa and black tea requires boiling water. Use water at 100°C and dose 2.5 grams of blend for 250 ml. Infuse for 4 minutes. Do not underestimate the temperature; it is essential to melt the chocolate inclusions.

Indulgent Variations

  • Latte version: This blend is perfect for milk preparation. Brew it strong (5 minutes), then add a third of hot milk (or oat milk). The creamy note will be multiplied.
  • Lighter infusion: If you find the cocoa too strong, reduce the infusion to 3 minutes to emphasize the liveliness of the Ceylon tea.
The art of sharing: Prepare this tea during your family teatimes. Its chocolatey flavor often reconciles children or those reluctant to drink classic tea with the hot beverage.
FAQFrequently Asked Questions
