To celebrate the new year, Sam Tilney of BANGtea and I developed this limited edition "tea chocolate bar" using one of her most popular teas, GABA oolong, sourced from Taiwan.

After sampling BANGtea's remarkable collection, I felt this GABA Oolong was truly unique. Following several formulations tested throughout the fall, we settled on this perfect blend.

About the Bar

This exclusive bar is crafted with 11% tea leaves by weight, blended with cocoa butter, dark chocolate, and sugar. It is packaged in a limited-edition red envelope to welcome the new year.

Tasting Notes: Persimmon, Biscotti, Raisin.

Ingredients: Dark chocolate, cocoa butter, tea, sugar, and soy lecithin.

Net Wt: 50 g (1.76 oz)

About the Tea

The Spring 2024 GABA Oolong "offers a rich, fruity broth, evoking the indulgent taste of a luscious fruit pie with a lingering, sweet aftertaste."

It has undergone an extended 3-day anaerobic fermentation and a 4-hour roast. This harvest achieved a high concentration of 193mg/100g leaves, surpassing the minimum threshold for GABA content.

 

Materials

Care information

Our chocolate is best kept in a cool, dry environment, away from sunlight and strong-smelling food. The ideal conditions are 55°F to 65°F and around 50% humidity. A wine fridge is a perfect storage solution!

For longer-term storage (up to 6 months), you can freeze them by following these steps:

  • Wrap the entire box tightly in several layers of plastic wrap.
  • Store in the freezer.
  • When ready to enjoy, remove from the freezer and allow to reach room temperature before unwrapping. (This is critical to prevent sugar or fat bloom—the rough, grayish texture.)

Thawed bonbons should be enjoyed within 2 weeks.
