Kenyan Orthodox Black Tea | Malty richness • Natural cocoa undertones • Caffeine   Black Is Beautiful is rooted in the communal tea culture of Kenya, where strongly brewed tea is part of everyday life and shared as a sign of welcome and respect.   This single-origin orthodox black tea boasts natural cocoa undertones, warm malt depth, and can be enjoyed hot with milk, a sweetener of your choice, and a friend to drink it with.   Historical and Cultural Context: Tea has been cultivated in Kenya since 1903, and Kenya ranks third in the world in tea production. Most tea produced in the country is black tea – Kenya exports more black tea than any other country. Kenya's climate, coupled with the extraordinarily fertile soil of the Great Rift Valley, make the region ideal for tea production. Over half of Kenya's tea is grown on small farms.   Ingredients:100% orthodox Kenyan black teaContains caffeine. Single-origin. All natural.

Inspiration: Venezuelan Spiced Chorote | Rooibos • Cocoa Nibs • Chocolate flavoring • Cinnamon • Anise • Red Peppercorns • Light Caffeine   Chocolate and spice, served on ice. Cocoa Butter honors the ancient Venezuelan tradition by housing this blend in a warm, rooibos base - where the warm, earthy spices complement the cocoa perfectly without being overpowered. Add a sweetener and milk of your choice. While this is meant to be served cold, it makes a deliciously toasty hot beverage.   Historical and Cultural Context: Chorote is a family of drinks found in much of Latin America, from Cuba to Costa Rica, that may have very different ingredients depending on where it is made. Long before Europeans landed in the Americas, Mayans and Aztecs made beverages from cocoa beans. Chorote was similarly created long ago by indigenous Venezuelan peoples, made from ground cocoa and spices. Afro-Venezuelans played key roles in securing Venezuela's independence from Spain. Pedro Camejo, for example, was born enslaved but achieved the rank of lieutenant in Simón Bolívar's army; for his bravery and skill on the battlefield, he earned the nickname "El Negro Primero".
