Description
A gourmet chocolate black tea
Directly from Colombia’s Cauca Valley, this delicate black tea is blended with real cocoa nibs to deliver a delicious cup with powerful, rich chocolate notes. A truly indulgent choice for a gourmet break!
Grown at 2,100 meters by a small farming community, this tea matures slowly under dense morning fog and bright mid-day sun. Every batch directly supports the local village by funding clean drinking water, electricity, and educational scholarships.
To safeguard local biodiversity, less than half of the 200-hectare estate is used for farming. The surrounding native woodlands serve as a sanctuary for over 176 animal and plant species.
