Cacao Tea is an all-natural tea, made only from cacao husks (shells) once they are removed from the cacao nibs. It is completely free of sugar, calories, dairy, gluten, GMOs, and caffeine, but full of mouth-watering chocolate flavour.
The aroma is incredible, and it has a smooth chocolatey flavour with a very slight natural sweetness. Although it is caffeine-free, it contains theobromine, a natural compound that provides a gentle energy boost, while decreasing blood pressure, and supporting healthy circulation, respiration, digestion, and brain function.
Cacao Tea is ethically-sourced, organically-grown, sustainable, and fair-trade. It is rich in antioxidants (10 times that of green tea), flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. You can read more about the health benefits here and here. And, check out the FAQ here.
It was very easy to brew; it's just 1-2 tsp per cup of boiling water, and a few minutes of steeping. The flavour was perfect for someone like me, who finds hot chocolate way too sweet. This tea is a perfect dessert-like beverage for me, or great as a morning or afternoon pick-me-up.
We often drink green tea for the health benefits, but I think we'll be switching it up for Cacao Tea for the added antioxidants and flavour.
