Martha Washington's Cacao Shell Tea Tin - 1.5oz loose roasted cacao shells, blended with dried citrus peel - orange peel and lemon peel
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 with a touch of tart citrus. The brew yields a full-bodied, slightly bitter infusion with strong notes of chocolate, and light flavors of melon. Â
Caffeine: Cacao shell tea is caffeine-free, but it does contain other natural stimulants. Â
Brewing:Â Â Suggested serving per 10oz cup: Â 2 tsp, 195 degrees. Â Cacao shells and citrus peels take 10 minutes to infuse their full flavor. Â
