  • Cacao Tea - Loose Shells

    3 reviews
    • Martha Washington enjoyed drinking cacao shell tea, which she made from roasted shells and sipped at breakfast. George Washington wrote to his agent, “She will, . . . thank you to get 20 Lbs of the shells of Cocoa nuts, if they can be had of the Chocolate makers."

      Tasting notes: Aroma of toast before brewing. Steeping in hot water unleashes a tonic of chocolate. The brew yields a full-bodied, slightly bitter infusion with strong notes of chocolate, and light flavors of melon.  

      Caffeine: Cacao shell tea is caffeine-free, but it does contain other natural stimulants.  

      Brewing:  Suggested serving per 10oz cup:  2 tsp, 195 degrees.  Cacao shells take 10 minutes to infuse their full flavor.

    Amazing!

    Rich cocoa flavor similar to cacao nibs, and cheaper at Samson than at Colonial Williamsburg site

    Fantastic flavor

    This is really good. Not as heavy as hot chocolate but very good flavor.
