Cacao Pu-erh is a gateway tea for those that enjoy the beneficial properties of Pu-erh without having to acquire the earthiness of it. Infused with cacao nibs that when brewed releases sweet notes of hazelnut with rich and dark notes of chocolate.
Pu-erh is a black tea from the Yunnan province in China. Named after the city Pu-erh in the southern region, where most of it’s tea production occurs. Unlike other teas, Pu-erh undergoes a unique fermentation and aging process. Famed for it’s medicinal properties that can aid digestion, boost metabolism, lower cholesterol, and dispel toxins.
A tea that can transport you to a past time reminiscent of a forest or cave full of rich creamy earthiness. Cacao Pu-erh can compliment any heavy meal by settling your stomach and speeding your metabolism. Long term drinking can potentially help with lowering cholesterol and cutting weight. A tea that has been aged to perfection and exquisite like a fine aged wine. And did I mention that you can experience some tea drunkenness after several infusions?! A truly euphoric tea experience in a cup.

I got this 4 oz bag from an eccentric tea shop owner in San Francisco in March. We got to learn about and sample all sorts of teas, and this was our favorite. I’ve learned since then that puerh is too caffeinated for me, so though I find this delicious, even the resteep makes me feel bad. The flavor is quite smooth, and it tastes like you’re drinking high quality hot chocolate. I always add plenty of milk and sugar, though when we tried it in the shop, it was still super good plain. It’s nice hot and even better cold. The only ingredients are puerh and cocoa nibs, but that’s all it needs!
Homemade Advent Calendar from AJRimmer: Day 16
This is straight-up milk chocolate liqueur layered on a surprisingly mild base. It’s got light mineral notes and a hint of something almost cinnamon-like?! Quite an easy drinker!
I found myself wanting more of everything: more deep, rich, chocolate… more earthiness… but the description for this tea refers to it as a “gateway” pu-erh, which seems right!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Earth, Milk Chocolate, Mineral
I love choco-puerh combinations, and the shopping experience sounds like a hoot!
Vital leaf is an awesome place to visit, I try to stop by every time I’m in San Fran :)
Every tea we tried was super good! If they sold them in smaller sizes, I definitely would have gotten more!
