In our new series, "Behind the Bonbon," we tell the story behind every bonbon. Because at Bonbonbook, it's not just about taste, but also about the people, ingredients, and choices that make our bonbons special.
Today you'll discover the story behind the Orange Caramel & Rooibos bonbon. A bonbon that lets you taste how chocolate and tea complement each other. Creamy caramel, fresh orange notes, and the soft spiciness of rooibos combine to create a taste experience that will help you completely unwind.
Where tea and chocolate meet
Sometimes a flavor combination happens by chance. Sometimes through endless experimentation. And sometimes because you meet someone who shares your passion for quality. That's what happened at CiTea .
CiTea, like us, stands for dedication, taste, and quality. They work exclusively with suppliers who comply with the strictest European food regulations, have their blends tested by experts, and select only superior quality. This aligns with how we make chocolates: carefully, with attention, and always considering why each ingredient is better than another.
A tea blend with a story
Amsterdam Blend didn't just appear out of nowhere. CiTea's founder, Dio Buchner, started out with a tea shop in the heart of Amsterdam. It was a place where tea lovers gathered, where flavors were created, and where tea knowledge was shared. From that passion, CiTea grew into a modern tea brand that prioritizes quality, craftsmanship, and a passion for flavor!
The taste of Amsterdam Blend
What makes Amsterdam Blend so special is that it's so much more than just rooibos. It's a carefully crafted mix of aromatic vanilla, a hint of cinnamon, a subtle ginger warmth, and surprising elements like pink pepper and bamboo leaf. This blend offers a calming effect without caffeine, yet simultaneously offers a rich, deep flavor experience. We found it precisely this aromatic, warm, spicy note that perfectly complements chocolate. Combined with our creamy caramel, enriched with fresh orange, this resulted in a bonbon that is round, smooth, and yet sparklingly fresh.
Even more delicious in combination with a cup of rooibos tea
The Orange Caramel & Rooibos bonbon truly shines when enjoyed with rooibos tea. Together, they create a harmonious blend of sweet, refreshing, and spicy notes, perfect for a moment of pure indulgence. Want to try Amsterdam Blend for yourself?
