The tea and chocolate combination

Flavored black tea is highly prized today, but the concept of adding flavors to tea leaves is very ancient. As early as the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618-907), teas were flavored using a traditional method. The fresh leaves were compressed to obtain a concentrated tea, flavored with a blend of herbs that gave it an intense aroma.

Over time, various types of tea were created, but predominantly with floral or vegetal elements – such as the famous jasmine tea. In more recent times, especially in the twentieth century, flavored tea blends have become increasingly varied, and in addition to the classic infusions with spices and flowers, delicious mixes have emerged. Both liquid flavoring agents and dry ingredients, such as cocoa, gradually release their aromas and nutritional values.
