Cocoa Day Loose Leaf Black Tea Blend

A radiant celebration of warmth and comfort, Cocoa Day Loose Leaf Black tea blend begins with a smooth, handcrafted black tea that offers a grounding depth. Aromatic cloves rise first, adding a gentle spice that feels both nostalgic and bold. Sweet orchard apples follow,  a crisp brightness that softens the golden petals of calendula. A whisper of pennyroyal lingers in the background, cooling and rare, a subtle counterpoint that refines the blend. Cocoa Day threads itself throughout, rounding every sip with richness and soft embrace.
