Using the Ceylon’s delicate floral notes and a touch of mild astringency, added to the depth of the full bodied Indian teas, creates a complex blend. The addition of white chocolate and a blend of spices from the Malabar Coast of India are added to the mix; sharp ginger, cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper.
