Chocolate Mint Black Tea

Rich chocolate and cool peppermint meet high-grown black tea in a smooth, refreshing cup inspired by one of the world's most beloved flavor pairings.

The Experience

Chocolate Mint Black Tea brings together two flavors that seem made for each other: the indulgent richness of chocolate and the clean, cooling character of peppermint.

The blend begins with high-grown black tea, including Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka's celebrated tea-growing regions. Grown at elevations reaching approximately 2,000–2,500 meters (6,500–8,200 feet), these teas provide the bright, aromatic character and structure needed to carry richer flavors while keeping the finished cup lively.

Peppermint leaves bring an immediate cooling freshness, while blackberry leaves add subtle botanical depth. Natural flavor rounds out the blend with a smooth chocolate character, creating a satisfying contrast between richness and refreshment.

The experience changes depending on how you serve it. Straight, the briskness of the black tea and freshness of peppermint are more pronounced. Add a splash of milk and a little sugar, and the cup becomes softer and more indulgent, bringing its chocolate-mint personality forward. It's a familiar pairing transformed into tea: cool mint, rich chocolate, and substantial black tea in every sip.

When Chocolate Met Mint

Chocolate and mint have been enjoyed separately for centuries, but together they've become one of the most recognizable flavor combinations in the world. The pairing works because the two ingredients pull in opposite directions. Chocolate is rich and comforting. Peppermint is cool and refreshing.

Bring those contrasts into a cup of black tea and another dimension appears. The tea provides brightness, body, and a gentle briskness that prevents the chocolate from becoming too heavy, while peppermint leaves leave the palate feeling fresh after each sip.

The combination has become so beloved that February 19 is recognized by the National Confectioners Association as Chocolate Mint Day—an especially good excuse to put the kettle on. But we see no reason to wait until February.
