Pair with...
Rye Crumb 60% (20g): The mellow creaminess of the milk chocolate shows off the nuttiness and acidity of the rye grain.
English Breakfast and Darjeeling House Blend

Tasting tips
For the best tasting experience, take a nibble of the chocolate and let it melt in your mouth, then slowly sip the tea. This will allow you to enjoy the texture, aroma, intensity and flavours. Refer to the flavour wheel provided; it includes all the notes, from floral and fruity to caramel, sweet and spicy – even vegetal!
