Art of Darkness is a beautifully crafted blend of our 2013 Ontario 1357 and black cardamom sprinkled with a light dusting of dutch-processed cocoa powder. The result is an incredibly smooth tea with deep dark chocolate notes, warm earthiness, and a light hint of mint from the black cardamom. Art of Darkness has been blended to perfection and produces a cup that can be compared to a pu-erh version of a peppermint mocha. Enjoy! :-)
Tips: The cocoa and cardamom sink to the bottom of this tea. Shake up the bag and tap the sides of the packaging before scooping for ideal taste. Do not rinse this pu-erh before brewing. Some of the cocoa powder will be rinsed off and the taste will be altered from its intended balance.
