From Leaf to Flavor: The Art of Crafting Villakuyaya's Tea-Inclusion Chocolates

The tea in the Villakuyaya bars has always been a point of great curiosity since the moment of its creation. What many do not know is that tea came into my life at a time of physical and mental transformation, and obviously, it came and stayed. And little by little, tea became my favorite drink instead of coffee, although I still enjoy coffee as well (Coffee is just my second favorite now!)

As tea became part of my daily routine, it became easier as well to include it in Villakuyaya recipes. The difficult part was finding the perfect tea that would complement the cocoa flavors I had chosen. I tried many teas, and they were all of good quality, but when combined with the chocolates, they did not have the taste I had in mind.

Many told me that it was a crazy idea to put tea leaves in the chocolate, but what they didn't realize was that the combination of tea and chocolate created a unique pairing.

When you taste the chocolate with the tea, each flavor can be experienced separately at different times. At first, you get the tea aroma on the surface, then the flavor of chocolate (with its rich cocoa flavors). Next, the tea flavors start to emerge with the flavor of the cocoa, and finally, in the aftertaste, the deep flavors of the tea ingredients.

It's truly an amazing experience for your taste buds and all your senses. I can't just explain it to you; you really have to try it to understand what I'm talking about. Anyway...

After so much searching, I found my perfect tea—the VILLAKUYAYA TEA. Our supplier had everything we were looking for. It's managed with high-quality standards and is both organic and kosher certified, just like I wanted for the Villakuyaya brand. Plus, it shares our mission of traceability and sustainability. They work directly with farmers in India, China, and Japan, and their tea fields are full of colors and aromas.

I'd really love to share with you the beautiful story of how each tea came into Villakuyaya's life. It's filled with emotions, sensations, and deep feelings, which always inspire us when we seek new tea inclusions.

But for now, let me tell you about a special one—the CHAI TEA. It holds a unique place in my heart and was the first to become a part of both my life and Villakuyaya's.

Chai has always been Villakuyaya's darling. It's a one-of-a-kind blend with an explosion of flavors that delights all your senses—it's a true sensory experience. When I combined it with chocolate, it created a burst of intense flavors, and the aftertaste was so amazing that you kept wanting more of this cocoa-tea combination.

Other teas in our collection follow a similar process, but each has its own distinct flavors. So, what are you waiting for? Try our collection for yourself to have your own experience. and don't hesitate to share with us what your experience is!
