A Perfect Balance of Sweetness and Zest: Villakuyaya Fine Dark Chocolate Lemon Essence

My love for tea makes me keep looking for new delicious blends to pair with my chocolates, as well as to learn more about what is inside each of these tea blends that can be more beneficial to our health. I think I owe it to my grandmother, who always had a magical natural herb for every pain.

And for this week, I'd like to introduce Villakuyaya Fine Dark Chocolate Lemon Essence 80%, one of our new tea inclusion flavors.

We decided to include Lemon Essence in our 80% collection because the balance of this percentage makes the strong teas milder. Its main ingredients are black tea and lemongrass. This combination makes the aftertaste a little sour and citrusy, but the overall taste takes a strange turn and reveals a unique flavor that we may not taste at first, but the moment you get it, you will feel the fruity and citrusy combination in both its taste and aroma.

Moreover, when I think about lemongrass, I remember how it relieved my cramps and reduced inflammation in my stomach; the thing is, these are only a few of the health benefits lemongrass can provide.

So, what can lemongrass really do in our body?

1. Not all antioxidants found in natural products have the same chemical composition. Antioxidants found in lemongrass, for example, can help prevent cell dysfunction in the coronary arteries.

2. Two main compounds of lemongrass are what we called citral and geranial. These compounds are responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties, and they help stop the release of certain inflammation-causing markers in your body.

3. Lemongrass is also a natural diuretic, allowing the body to expel excess fluid and sodium.

The pairing of tea and chocolate can be a magical experience, especially when it comes to the Villakuyaya Fine Dark Chocolate Lemon Essence 80%. This unique blend of black tea and lemongrass not only creates a delicious taste but also offers various health benefits. So, the next time you indulge in a piece of Villakuyaya Fine Dark Chocolate Lemon Essence 80%, remember that you're not only treating yourself to a delightful experience but also providing your body with some much-needed nutrients.

I hope these facts pique your interest enough to try and discover one of the new flavors we've created in Villakuyaya. Enjoy!
