Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • It is an herbal infusion made from the outer shells (husks) of the cacao bean. These shells are separated from the nibs during the chocolate-making process, making it a great zero-waste product.

  • It has a tantalizing chocolate aroma but a mild, subtle, and dark chocolate flavor. It is often described as smooth, comforting, and less bitter than unsweetened cocoa, sometimes carrying delicate notes of caramel or toffee.

  • No. It is much cleaner, lighter, and leaner than traditional hot chocolate. It offers a mild flavor without the heaviness, fat (cocoa butter), or sweetness of hot chocolate.

  • No, it is generally considered caffeine-free. Since the tea is made from the outer shell and not the bean (nib), it contains little to no caffeine.

  • Yes, it contains Theobromine, a naturally occurring compound found in cacao. Theobromine is a gentle stimulant that offers a milder, sustained energy boost and mood-enhancing benefits without the jitters or crash associated with coffee.

  • Cacao husks are rich in Antioxidants (Flavonoids) and minerals like Magnesium and Iron. It is known to support heart health, improve blood circulation, and aid digestion due to its natural fiber content.

  • Pure cacao husk tea is naturally sugar-free, low-calorie, and unsweetened, making it an excellent alternative to sugary chocolate drinks.

  • Because the husks are dense, they require a longer, hotter steep time than regular tea leaves. We recommend steeping 1-2 teaspoons of husks per cup in boiling water (around 212°F / 100°C) for 6 to 8 minutes using an infuser, tea pot, or French press.

  • Absolutely. It is delicious enjoyed pure, but you can add a touch of honey, sugar, maple syrup, or a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) for a creamier, richer "chocolate latte" experience.

  • Yes. Brew a strong batch of hot tea, let it cool, and then serve it over ice. You can garnish it with a slice of lemon or orange for a refreshing twist.

  • It is more forgiving than regular tea, but steeping for too long (e.g., over 10 minutes) can potentially extract more bitter compounds, resulting in a slightly "puckery" mouthfeel.
