Key features

• CACAO SHELL TEA - Full-bodied, with notes of chocolate, this hand-blended brew yields light flavors of melon for a delightful, slightly bitter infusion. Rich in nutrients and packed with antioxidants, cacao shell tea leads with a pre-brew aroma of toast, only to unleash a tonic of chocolate once steeped. Our 1lb Cacao Shell loose tea comes packaged in an opaque resealable, air tight pouch to help keep your teas fresh for longer.
• A TASTE OF HISTORY - Cacao shell tea was an expressed favorite of First Lady Martha Washington. Originally from Peru, the shells of the cacao bean were requested often to Mt. Vernon, where the First Lady steeped the husks for ten minutes, creating a light, chocolaty concoction. In a 1789 letter, General George Washington wrote to his agent “She will likewise thank you to get 20 lb. of the shells of Cocoa nuts, if they can be had of the Chocolate makers.”
• LIGHT & CHOCOLATEY - Cacao tea is ideal for breakfast or anytime tea or coffee is served. This natural stimulant is low in calories, and contains theobromine, a compound that gently boosts the mind and body without the aggressive crash associated with coffee. Treat yourself to a moment of luxury, while enjoying the health benefits of the cacao plant.
