With Valentines Day only around the corner and chocolate being one of the most popular gifts for Valentines Day, I thought you might like to know which teas to pair with your chocolate as a great Valentine gift.
Chocolate and tea make for a perfect match as they share health benefits and flavor qualities including caffeine, flavonoids, and tannins.
Darjeeling is a delicious tea with dark chocolate as well as green tea. Another popular one is lapsang souchong and rooibos teas.
Or, you could buy some Chocolate Tea instead. Shibui Tea have a Chocolate Loose Leaf Tea Collection, for £25
6 chocolate inspired loose leaf teas.
The collection contains 50g (25g for Chocolate Mint) of each of the following blends in 6 mini tubes together with your choice of a free gift card if you’d like all in a presentation box:
- African Winter
- Chocolate & Ginger
- Chocolate Orange Puerh (label differs from photo)
- Chocolate Mint (25g tube)
- Cocoa & Orange
- Turmeric & Cocoa
Or Whittards Dark Chocolate Loose Tea £9-£12.00 – a loose leaf black tea from India and Indonesia with a (very) generous helping of cocoa nibs, creating a tea that’s full-bodied, aromatic and seriously chocolatey.
Finally, one that I think sounds divine and I would love to try is the TWG Chocolate Earl Grey Tea Caviar Tin for £25.39 – Immerse yourself in a tantalizing blend of rich TWG black tea, rare bergamot, and pure dark chocolate. A sensory journey of pure bliss that creates unforgettable moments.
