Cacao Tea Pouch, 3oz.

All of the health benefits of cacao, no sugar.  Many people also add these husks to their morning coffee grounds for the added benefits and flavor the cacao husks provide.

Cacao tea (also known as chocolate tea) is a light and mild hot drink made from cacao beans. Unlike breakfast, mint, or green tea, cacao tea isn’t made from leaves but from roasted cacao bean shells.  Cacao tea uses the cacao husks while hot chocolate is made with the cacao nibs (and sugar and cream).  Both provide very similar underlying flavor profiles.

Chocolate tea is caffeine-free, making it a great alternative to coffee or black tea if you’re sensitive to caffeine.  Having said that, cacao husks do contain theobromine which some people find has a stimulant effect. However, theobromine releases energy in a slower, more gentle way than caffeine, so you’re less likely to have peaks and crashes.  

Some experts believe the theobromine released in cacao tea can provide a range of health benefits too!
