Tea & Cacao, a match made in heaven!
This remarkable blend of smooth, wiry black tea leaves with bright, earthy crushed cacao nib and husk hails from our partner farm in the Amazon rainforest of Colombia. Bitaco is a biodynamic farm and wildlife preserve staffed by well cared-for employees. We love supporting small farms like this. Good people doing good work and making great tea!
Ingredients: Black tea, cacao husk and nib
Approximately 75mg of caffeine per cup
Steep at 212° F or 100°C for 2-4 minutes.

Recent convert to this blend and I love it! It's so delicious. It has a really nice, well-rounded flavor. The chocolate nibs aren't overly sweet, but it adds a nice hint of chocolate.
The chocolate is definitely there, but it's definitely tea with a kiss of chocolate and not chocolate with an afterthought of tea as so many 'dessert' teas are. Really smooth and a bit decadent.
Delicious, sweet-but-not-too-sweet, nice chocolate flavor without being too chocolate-y!
