Why Black Matcha Is the Perfect Companion to Chocolate

Chocolate and tea may not seem like the most obvious pairing—but when you meet Wild Orchard Ayr Matcha Black Tea, everything changes. With its earthy depth, roasted complexity, and natural notes of chocolate and coffee, this tea was made to stand alongside rich, velvety cocoa. The result is a duo that feels both indulgent and grounding.

More than just a flavorful pairing, black matcha and chocolate share something deeper: balance. Together, they offer a mindful moment—calm, focused energy without the crash, and flavor that lingers long after the last sip or bite.

What Is Black Matcha?

Unlike traditional green matcha, which is made from shade-grown tea leaves, Wild Orchard Black Matcha is crafted from full-sun, roasted black tea leaves—processed minimally and never stripped of their stems or veins. Grown on our regenerative organic farm on Jeju Island, it’s bold, robust, and entirely unique.

This organic tea powder is rich in antioxidants and nutrients, offering a smooth, focused lift without the jitters of coffee. Its flavor is unmistakable: earthy, roasted, with deep chocolate and coffee-like undertones. It's a tea that doesn’t whisper—it speaks with confidence.

Why Chocolate and Black Matcha Work So Well Together

When paired with chocolate, black matcha’s roasted notes amplify the richness of cocoa, while its natural bitterness balances the sweetness. Whether it’s a dark chocolate square, a chocolate chip cookie, or a silky truffle, black matcha rounds out the experience with warmth and depth.

Both ingredients also bring calm, feel-good compounds to the table, making this pairing not just satisfying, but soothing.

Best Way to Enjoy: As a Creamy Latte

While there’s no wrong way to enjoy our matcha, black matcha shines brightest when blended with whole milk or creamy oat milk. Mixed with water alone, the flavor is intense and bitter—true to the full-sun leaves it’s made from.

But with a splash of milk? It becomes one of the most flavorful and satisfying tea lattes you’ll ever taste.

How to Make a Black Matcha Latte:

• Add 1 tsp of black matcha powder to your cup
• Whisk with a splash of hot water (175°F / 80°C) to make a smooth paste
• Top with warm whole milk or oat milk
• Optional: Add a piece of dark chocolate on the side, sprinkle some matcha or chocolate powder on top—or even melt some chocolate into the latte for a twist
