{"product_id":"ariel-almond-crumble-black-tea","title":"ARIEL Almond Crumble","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur whole leaf black tea blended with coconut bits and the warm almond character of pastry-shop notes. Available in 1 kg loose leaf bulk – a destination format for café programs running an indulgent flavoured black tea position, and for restaurants serving an after-dessert tea menu. Holds against milk, sweetener, or both. The almond character comes from natural and artificial flavours; no almonds are listed as ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deep amber red cup, with a warm bakery aroma at the front. Sweet almond character leads – the marzipan-and-pastry register, rather than raw nut. Coconut bits give a soft tropical sweetness underneath. The black tea base sits below the flavour – full-bodied enough to carry the sweetness without becoming flat. The finish is rounded and gently sweet, with a clean exit. Tolerates milk well; the bakery notes hold their place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur base is whole leaf black tea, blended with dried coconut bits and supported by natural and artificial flavours that carry the sweet almond character. The blend reads as an indulgent flavoured black tea – the kind of cup that pairs with a pastry case or finishes a meal. No actual almonds are listed in the ingredient declaration; the bakery character is built through flavouring rather than through the nut itself. Coconut is present as a real botanical ingredient and contributes to both the visual character of the leaf and the sweetness of the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 250 ml at 95 °C for 3 minutes. Black tea is the most heat-tolerant of the true teas; boiling water works. For milk-based preparations, 2.5 g per cup holds up well against steamed milk and a sweetener. At commercial scale, a 1 kg bag yields about 400 servings. Zero calories per 250 ml serving brewed without additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Whole leaf black tea, coconut bits, natural and artificial flavours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 kg loose leaf bulk bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aliments Préparés au Québec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Humaniterra Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black tea, caffeinated, loose leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","offers":[{"title":"1 kg loose leaf","offer_id":44444463956019,"sku":"TARIA00NRML02F001","price":43.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf (volume price)","offer_id":44444463988787,"sku":"TARIA00NRML02V001","price":36.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/2363\/3971\/files\/terra-ariel-almond-crumble-black-tea-1kg.jpg?v=1781202100","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.cafeterra.ca\/products\/ariel-almond-crumble-black-tea","provider":"Terra Coffee \u0026 Tea Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
