Can anything symbolize love more than roses and chocolate?! This luxurious and cozy drink will wrap you (and your lover) in a warm embrace.
A kiss of Rose opens the heart to a peaceful place. Cacao, Damiana and Ginger subtly get the juices flowing. Milky Oats and Kava Kava bring a sense of calm to be present in the moment. Vanilla is a provocatively stirring taste and scent.
Despite the name, this drink can be enjoyed any time you want to deepen love in your body and heart so delight in a cup whenever the mood strikes you.
