2012 Vintage Barrel Aged Hot Chocolate Pu-erh
We age Pu’erh, a fermented Chinese tea, in oak barrels for 5-6 years to mellow the tannins. We then add fresh-roasted cacao nibs, imparting a chocolaty warmth. The final touch is the addition of Madagascar vanilla beans for a soft, baked-good sweetness. The dark earthiness of the pu-erh picks up where the intensity of the cacao leaves off creating a delightful, full-bodied chocolate tea with none of the guilt.
