Silencio is a loose leaf pineapple black tea with black pepper and cacao from Da LBI Tea. Each cup brings notes of ripe pineapple, black pepper and cocoa bean.
The climate of the Cuban coast is gripping. The scent of sweet tropical flowers hangs heavy in the air. This tea envelops you with cocoa-scented orchid and a hint of warm tobacco. As you sip, the earthy aroma yields to juicy, sun-ripened pineapple. It finishes on a deep peppery note. A touch of milk mellows its spiciness and brings out the floral sweetness of pineapple. This is a place where everything conspires to make time pass in slowness, enchanted with nostalgia.
