Description
Chocolate Mint Tea
Chocolate Mint Tea is the perfect dessert tea, especially delightful when paired with shortbread cookies. If you crave something sweet but want to avoid sugar, this chocolate favorite is an excellent choice. The blend combines refreshing mint with the rich, earthy aroma of chocolate, creating a harmonious experience.
Chocolate’s history is fascinating. Originally, it was consumed as a drink, with roots tracing back to the ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations in Central America. The Maya even used cocoa beans as currency and as a special ingredient in their ceremonial beverages. In Europe during the 1600s and 1700s, chocolate became a luxury due to high import duties on cocoa, making it accessible only to the wealthy.

Sourcing Quality Teas
We source our teas from Sri Lanka’s top three growing regions: Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva. Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya peak in quality during January and February, while Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya peak in July and August. This dual peak period allows us to select the best teas for our flavored blends throughout the year.
These high-grown districts produce classic Ceylon teas known for their floral bouquet, rich flavour notes, and a touch of astringency, all highlighted by a bright coppery colour. We use natural flavouring oils, not artificial crystals, ensuring each cup delivers exceptional quality and taste.
Indulge in our Chocolate Mint Tea and savour the delightful combination of flavours in every sip.
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
