TEALEAVES x Pantone Created a Tea Blend Inspired by the Color of the Year

Annually, Pantone's chosen Color of the Year captivates with its visual vibrancy, yet its emotional resonance and cultural significance have the power to influence other sensory experiences, as the TEALEAVES x Pantone collaboration proves.

Pantone officially selected Mocha Mousse as its 2025 Color of the Year, and the first-ever brown color to have this title encompasses comfort, simple indulgences and earthiness all at once. Pantone's collaboration with luxury tea purveyor TEALEAVES resulted in a bespoke tea blend featuring micro-farmed Himalayan chamomile, cinnamon, and dandelion root. Created to represent reimagined indulgence and a celebration of the natural world, this loose-leaf black tea is ready to be paired with chocolate, or savored in a creamy latte.
