Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Tea Theme Week.

Today's new chocolate was a Reishi Chocolate Immunity Elixir from Rebbl (Emeryville, CA). 

This smooth beverage was made with coconut milk and the chocolate added additional rich flavor depth. The reishi (mushroom) extract was smoothly incorporated into this blend, and there were no "off" fungi-related flavors. This well-balanced elixir was sweetened with coconut sugar and stevia.

Technically an elixir may not have been a tea, but it was a liquid botanical brew. 

The "tea" portion of today's entry came from re-tasting an Earl Grey and Orange 70% dark chocolate bar from Antidote Chocolate (Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY)--made with Arriba Nacional cacao (Ecuador) and aromatic, chewy bits of orange peel on the back which nicely complemented the subtle infused floral tea flavor.
