Hot Chocolate-Inspired Teas

This Hot Chocolate Tea Offers a New Way to Enjoy Winter Beverages

— December 1, 2015 — Lifestyle
Hot chocolate and tea are beloved beverages for the winter season, but David's Tea recently introduced a new way to enjoy both at the same time with its Hot Chocolate tea. The tea is made from a base of pu'erh and black tea, while the chocolate flavors are introduced through real chocolate chips, cacao nibs, chocolate curls, chocolate liquor and stevia extract.

This festive tea can be prepared either cold of hot as a winter treat that will satisfy all through the season.

Other festive David's Tea products that take inspiration from holiday food and beverages include mulled wine and gingerbread cookies. Crossing over different types of beverages to create new hybrids is becoming a popular way for brands to reintroduce familiar flavors with a twist.
