Available for just a limited time, the new Cocoa Berry Black Tea Blend is packed with subtly seasonal flavors that will remind you of the holidays. The blend in each tea bag starts with a base of [black tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-tea-beverage) from Argentina, paired with a fruity, full-bodied rooibos tea from South Africa. Carob pods, cocoa bean shells, and cocoa powder are then added for that [distinctive chocolate flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hojicha-chocolate), while icorice root adds sweetness, and cranberry seeds provide depth. The result is a fruity, aromatic, and subtly sweet tea that's perfect for warming up on chilly winter mornings. When paired with milk, the Cocoa Berry Black Tea Blend also makes a great tea latte option.
