Chocolate

Chocolate is made from roasted cacao beans, a crop native to Central and South America where the Maya and Aztecs prized it as a drink. In tea blends, chocolate pieces and cocoa nibs add a rich, sweet cocoa flavor that melts into the cup with a smooth, slightly roasted finish. Chocolate pairs well with black tea, rooibos and pu-erh, along with mint, orange, cherry, coconut and vanilla. Add a splash of milk for a dessert-like cup.
