Chocolate teas are among my favorites, so I when I had a chance to make a chocolate cake tea blend for my Matilda menu inspired by Bruce Bogtrotter’s chocolate cake, I pounced on it without hesitation. Of course, an average chocolate tea wouldn’t do. I wanted something intense and complex, befitting Bruce’s legendary cake. So after starting with a plain chocolate tea as my base, I added chocolate honeybush and just a hint of mocha nut mate. The honeybush opens up the flavors, allowing you to experience their full range, and the mocha flavor makes it all stronger. If there was ever chocolate cake in a teacup, this is it. So drink up—before Trunchbull catches you! 😉

Bruce’s Chocolate Cake Tea

This blend starts with the familiar flavor of rich chocolate, then lightens it with the warm tones of honeybush. Just as coffee often used to add intensity to chocolate cakes, so too does a touch of mocha nut mate give this blend greater depth of flavor. Throw in some cocoa nibs for even more chocolate flavor and some whimsical sprinkles reminiscent of cupcakes, and you’ve got yourself the perfect dessert tea! It’s rich and sweet, perfect on its own or with a bit of sugar and milk.
