Colombian Moca Black Tea

Colombian black tea from the western slopes of the Andes meets cacao husks and nibs for a smooth, medium-bodied cup with naturally rich cocoa character.

The Experience

Colombian Moca Black Tea brings together two crops with deep roots in Colombia's agricultural landscape: tea and cacao.

The foundation is Colombian black tea grown on the western slopes of the Andes, giving this tea a particularly distinctive place within Churchill's collection. While many black tea drinkers are familiar with teas from China, India, Sri Lanka, or Africa, Colombia represents a far less commonly encountered origin—and an opportunity to experience how tea expresses itself in a different landscape.

The black tea is blended simply with cacao husks and nibs, adding a warm chocolate character without turning the cup into a heavily flavored dessert tea. Cacao complements the deeper notes of the black tea, creating an impression that is roasted, smooth, and gently chocolatey while allowing the Colombian tea itself to remain at the center of the experience.

The result is a medium-bodied, tea-forward chocolate cup: less sweet and confectionary than many chocolate teas, with cacao providing depth rather than dessert-like richness. For tea drinkers who also love coffee or dark chocolate, Colombian Moca offers an especially intriguing bridge between familiar roasted flavors and the world of pure-origin black tea.

Tea from the Colombian Andes

When people think of Colombia and a steaming cup, coffee usually comes to mind first. Tea tells a much less familiar story.

Colombian Moca comes from tea grown on the western slopes of the Andes, offering an opportunity to explore a tea origin rarely represented alongside the better-known traditions of China, India, Sri Lanka, and Africa.

Pairing Colombian black tea with cacao makes this tea even more connected to its origin. Rather than layering the tea with a long list of dessert flavors, cacao husks and nibs contribute a straightforward roasted chocolate character that complements the black tea.

There is also a community story behind the cup. The tea garden supports the Agricola Himalaya Foundation, which works to develop and improve programs focused on education, particularly for local children. The result is a tea with more than one reason to explore it: Colombian tea. Colombian cacao. One remarkably distinctive cup.
