The tea combines creamy peppermint, chocolate notes and full-bodied rooibos into a soothing cup that many find relaxing and stomach-friendly.

Key Features

• Creamy peppermint and chocolate blend: Delivers a dessert-like cup that satisfies a sweet tooth without added calories or sugar.
• Rooibos base with antioxidants: Offers a naturally caffeine-light foundation known for antioxidant content and a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel.
• Low-caffeine formulation: Includes mostly caffeine-free herbs with a very small amount from other ingredients, making it suitable for later-day enjoyment.
• Easy steeping instructions: Steeps 5-7 minutes in 6 oz of boiling water for a rich flavor and accepts a splash of milk or milk alternative for extra creaminess.
• Calorie-free alternative to desserts: Functions as a hot chocolate substitute for those watching calories while still craving chocolatey flavor.

Who It's For

This tea is ideal for people who enjoy dessert-style herbal teas and want a calming, low-caffeine beverage in the afternoon or evening. It suits those who like chocolate and peppermint together and prefer a drink that can be enhanced with a little milk or a milk alternative for added richness.
