Original Cacao Tea

The shells (or husks) from our roasted Hawaiian-grown cacao beans make a delicious tea rich in chocolate flavor and theobromine. See your preparation instruction on the back of each bag. This tea also makes excellent chocolate extract and chocolate spirits. Steep one cup of tea in one quart of clear spirits for one to two weeks, strain into a container of your choice and add a touch of simple syrup and a small snip of vanilla bean (optional) to round out the flavor. Enjoy over ice as an after dinner drink, over vanilla ice cream, or in any baked good the way you would use vanilla extract.  You will also see that we've updated our packaging!
