ABOUT THE TEA: We love collaborating with like minded individuals. It allows both sides to get creative and push the boundaries even further. And this Cacao, Cascara & Rose Tisane is the prime example of just that.
We use what we call cacao husk to bring a chocolatey aroma and flavour to this tea. The husk (or shell) of the cacao seed is typically discarded as it is not used in the chocolate making process.
The cascara is the dried fruit from the coffee cherry. Since coffee uses only the seed, the fruit itself is typically discarded. Once again, its packed with flavour - reminding us of cherries and honey.
Dried rose is added for its delicate floral properties and it complements both the cacao husk and coffee cascara. You'll see what we mean once you crack open the lid of the tea tin itself!
TASTES LIKE: Delicate chocolate flavours with a hint of sweetness. The cacao husk shines bright both through the aroma and flavour. The rose is there for its aromatic qualities, and rounds out the flavours of both the cacao and cascara nicely.
STEEPING INSTRUCTIONS: Mix 1 tsp with 12oz of hot water (just off boil) and let steep for 6 minutes. This tea benefits from a longer steep time and can be enjoyed with the loose leaf steeping longer as you sip.
USEFUL INFORMATION:
We use cacao husk from Dominican Republic for this tea. It has the best flavour and blends perfect with the cascara and rose.
This was delicious. I tasted it first in tea bags from MamaEarth and loved it. I was not careful in ordering and was surprised that I received loose leaf, however, even more delicious. I was a little disappointed that the tin was not sealed though, especially since one was a gift.

Best herbal tea!!
This is my absolute favourite nighttime tea. It’s like drinking a mug of comfort with hints of hot chocolate and rose and it makes me so happy.

Can't get enough
A lot of teas have tend to be really aromatic, but then are disappointingly low on their flavour. NOT THIS ONE!!!!! It's flavour really matches its smell, which is absolutely fantastic. It's even good enough that my garbage actually smells great! A friend of mine came into my room and asked if I had a diffuser. I said "No, it's my garbage." Yeah. It's that amazing. I bought 3 more tins after the first and I'm still worried it wasn't enough.
