1. **Single-Origin Kocha Black Tea** — Uses 100% full-leaf Kocha tea from a single, sun-drenched slope in Shizuoka, Japan, known for its malty, low-astringency profile.

2. **72% Dark Couverture Chocolate** — Formulated with a precise blend of cocoa beans for a deep, complex bitterness that balances the tea's sweetness.

3. **Proprietary Low-Temp Bake** — Baked slowly at a precisely controlled 135°C (275°F) to preserve the delicate tea polyphenols and prevent a burnt aftertaste.

4. **Japanese GMP-Certified Production** — Every batch is made in a facility certified for Good Manufacturing Practices by Japanese standards, ensuring hygiene and consistency.

5. **No Artificial Flavors or Preservatives** — The flavor profile is achieved solely through the quality of tea, chocolate, butter, and flour.

6. **Precise Ingredient Ratios** — Each 85g brownie contains exactly 8.5g of ground Kocha tea leaves and 22g of 72% chocolate for a consistent experience.

7. **Individually Sealed for Freshness** — Each cake is nitrogen-flushed and wrapped in a high-barrier film to lock in moisture and aroma until opened.

8. **Texture-Tested Structure** — Achieves a specific density score (between 0.78-0.82 g/cm³) for the ideal balance between fudgy center and slight crust.

9. **Allergen-Controlled Facility** — Produced in a dedicated facility free from peanuts and tree nuts to minimize cross-contamination risk.

10. **Shelf-Stable Formulation** — Designed to maintain optimal taste and texture for 90 days from production without refrigeration.

1. For best experience, let the sealed brownie sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before opening. 2. Unwrap and enjoy as a standalone dessert or paired with your afternoon tea or coffee. 3. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Born in the historic tea-growing region of Shizuoka, Japan, Ragueneau was founded by master patissiers who believed dessert should be a moment of pure, guilt-free indulgence. They saw how modern stress and rushed meals left people craving deep satisfaction. Their answer was the Poro Chocolat Kocha Brownie, a creation that took 3 years of development. They sourced single-origin, full-leaf Kocha black tea from a family-owned Shizuoka farm and paired it with 72% dark couverture chocolate, using a proprietary low-temperature baking method to lock in flavor. Every batch is produced in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, with each ingredient tested for purity. This dedication made it the #1 ranked premium brownie in the 'Gourmet Dessert' category on Japan's leading lifestyle platform for 18 consecutive months.

Ragueneau Poro Chocolat Kocha Black Tea Brownie Cakes are crafted with a blend of ingredients designed to deliver a rich, indulgent experience. The primary components include wheat flour, which provides structure and a soft crumb texture; sugar for sweetness and moisture retention; eggs to bind the ingredients and add richness; and butter or margarine for a tender mouthfeel and buttery flavor. Key flavoring ingredients are dark chocolate or cocoa powder, imparting deep chocolate notes, and Kocha black tea, which infuses a subtle earthy aroma and complements the chocolate with its robust character. Additional elements may include baking powder or baking soda as leavening agents to ensure a light, airy texture, and vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity. These ingredients work synergistically to create a moist, fudgy brownie with a unique tea-infused twist, offering consumers a gourmet treat that balances decadent chocolate indulgence with the sophisticated nuance of black tea, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a distinctive dessert experience.
