A cup of tea can be many things to many people: a familiar morning beverage, a calming evening ritual, a reason for reflection, and more. Tea Forté's newest tea blend draws upon tea's ability to evoke a feeling of pure decadence, celebrating life's simplest pleasures and evoking pure bliss.
Introducing the joy of dessert to the world of herbal tea, the Chocolate Fondue blend delicately layers rich chocolate over sweet, juicy strawberry, resulting in a symphony of flavors recalling a big night out, celebrating something extraordinary.
The three main ingredients in our Chocolate Fondue tea.
Decadent Chocolate Tea
The sensory experience of Tea Forté's Chocolate Fondue blend begins with its fragrance: an inviting tendril of chocolate, berries, and slight hint of bananas and cream. With each sip, bright strawberry notes give way to lush chocolate at the heart of the blend, lingering over a creamy, rounded finish. Naturally mellow rooibos leaves bring the blend's flavors into perfect harmony, evoking a sense of joy and contentment. This scarlet tisane (casually referred to as herbal tea, but crafted without the caffeinated leaves of the camellia sinensis tea plant) is naturally free of caffeine, making it ideal to enjoy any time of day.
This tea's rich cocoa center and pure berry bliss call to mind a selection of chocolate-dipped strawberries extravagantly presented in a five-star setting. Whether celebrating something special or nothing in particular, its plush flavor profile is reason enough to rejoice.
