DISCOVER THE POWER OF ORGANIC CACAO HUSK TEA!
We're excited to introduce a hidden gem in the world of herbal teas- made from the shell of the cacao bean! -Cacao Husk Tea! 🌱✨
(also known as chocolate tea)
The Taste:
Cacao husk tea has a chocolatey flavor with a creamy-woody taste and a rich chocolate aroma. Some say it's similar to hot chocolate, but not as sweet/strong. Others describe it as a mix of cocoa flavor, nutty, and bright.
Imagine the warmth, smell and slight taste of cocoa, but in its most natural form. The longer you steep it, the richer and more robust the flavor becomes!
Fresh cacao pods are harvested in Central & South America for SambaTree cocoa husk tea. Inside the white fruit pulp, is the cacao bean. The raw cacao beans are roasted, then the shell/husk is removed & crushed and used for tea.
Flavor Suggestions: Add honey, a touch of cinnamon, and your favorite milk to enhance the flavor of cocoa husk tea
To Brew Your Cup: To brew cacao husk tea, you can steep 2–3 tablespoons in hot water for 8-10 minutes using an infuser, coffee maker, or French press. The longer you brew it, the stronger the flavor will be. You can add honey, coconut sugar, cinnamon and your choice of milk to create a delightful pick me up drink without the jitters of caffeine!
