Mandala Leaves - Hot Chocolate Chai Infusion

Mandala Leaves Hot Chocolate Chai Infusion Tea

A darkly comforting brew for autumnal afternoons, lamplit reading hours and those quiet after-supper moments when pudding feels excessive but something delicious is still required.

Cocoa nibs mingle with cinnamon, apple and ginger to create a gently sweet, warming infusion. Green cardamom, liquorice and a flicker of black pepper deepen the flavour, giving it all the aromatic character of chai with the mellow richness of chocolate.

Packed in Spain and presented in a rather splendid pink and copper tin, it looks every bit as inviting on the shelf as it tastes in the cup. Enjoy it just as it is, or soften it with a splash of milk for something creamier and almost dessert-like.

A lovely evening ritual for slow drinkers, blanket arrangers and anyone who believes the day deserves a gentle full stop...
