The Mayans were the first to process the wonderful confection and called it \u003cem\u003exocoatl\u003c\/em\u003e, from which the English term \"chocolate\" is derived. Ah yes, chocolate. The word itself is enough to make some people forget whatever they're doing, be it their taxes, feeding their kids, leading a meeting, etc., and hunt down the nearest piece, slice, or spoonful. Sandwich the word between \"\u003cem\u003ewhite,\" \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003e\"mousse,\" \u003c\/em\u003eand well, watch out. The invention of chocolate mousse. the wonderfully rich and creamy dessert, is generally credited to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, famous French painter, noted chocoholic, and reputed lover of fresh cream. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenri, in need of a fix after a marathon painting session in his studio, went into the kitchen and being a creative sort of guy, decided to try something new. He grabbed some chocolate, sugar, a heap of fresh cream, and set to work. A little while later and \u003cem\u003evoila\u003c\/em\u003e, chocolate mousse was born. A few months later, Toulouse-Lautrec's friend Aristide Bruant, also a noted chocolate addict, (his likeness can be seen in Lautrec's famous painting \u003cem\u003eAmbassadeurs\u003c\/em\u003e,) came up with the idea of a white chocolate mousse. Toulouse obliged and \u003cem\u003evoila encore\u003c\/em\u003e, white chocolate mousse was created.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To honor these two great chocoholics, and the Mayans who preceded them, we've created this amazing tea. Sweet, creamy, chocolaty, arousing, velvety smooth finish - words alone cannot describe this one. Brew some for yourself and you'll see what we mean. Incidentally, a little milk and sugar will really help open this one up.

Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Cold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(to make 1 liter\/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1\/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1867424833,"sku":"253-100","price":11.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1867424897,"sku":"253-250","price":21.51,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1867424961,"sku":"253-500","price":32.57,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1867425025,"sku":"253-1000","price":61.45,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/253.jpeg?v=1442448323","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/white-chocolate-mousse-black-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
