Numi Organic Chocolate Pu-erh Tea, 16 Dark Tea Bags, High Caffeine

Product Description

Rich, velvety, and decadent. Numi's Chocolate Pu-erh combines a bold, fermented black tea with organic cocoa, sweet orange peel, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a chocolatey cup with a warm, spicy finish — smooth enough to sip slowly, hot or iced. Unlike black tea, which oxidizes for about 8 hours, pu-erh undergoes a unique 60-day fermentation process that develops a deep, earthy, malty base beneath the chocolate and spice. We source this tea from old-growth pu-erh trees in the Yunnan Mountains of China, communally owned by local villages and grown in harmony with the surrounding indigenous forest to support biodiversity and long-term conservation. Our Fair Labor Verification program in Yunnan has helped improve maternity benefits and workplace safety for the workers who grow and process it. Every tea bag is made from manila hemp (Abacá) fiber, sealed with a crimp-and-knot process instead of the plastic heat-seals used in most tea bags, so no polypropylene ever touches your cup. The bags are BPI Certified Biodegradable and supplier-verified free of added plastics or microplastics — not just labeled that way. The outer wrapper is plant-based and commercially compostable, made from FSC-certified paper and non-GMO sugarcane. Certified USDA Organic and Fair Labor Verified. Steep 4–5 minutes in fresh, boiling water, swirling the cup as the cocoa may settle to the bottom.
