🍫 Cocoa Black Tea
Sweet Potato Aroma · Cocoa Notes · Lingering Sweetness · Rich & Smooth

The dry leaves show a deep reddish-brown hue with a sweet, grassy sweet potato aroma. Once brewed, the liquor turns a rich golden color and opens with a smooth, comforting sweetness reminiscent of roasted sweet potato, followed by bold cocoa richness.
This tea is highly durable — the cocoa character holds through the sixth infusion, gradually softening as the aftertaste intensifies. Overall, it delivers a well-balanced cup that’s rich yet gentle, with a lingering, mellow sweetness.
