cocoa tea mix [cubes] claudette

Hand made Artisanal Cocoa cubes from the island of Grenada
Made in small batches by Ms. Claudette from St. Patrick.

A Grenada morning favorite  is  a cup of cocoa tea, a  blend of ground cocoa nibs cinnamon and bergamot.

Cocoa cubes are a blend of ground cocoa beans, cinnamon and bergamot.
This is the same mixture made before forming the cocoa balls for Grenada's favorite cup of cocoa tea.

cocoa begins with theobroma cacao tree. pods from this tree are harvested when fully ripened. unripened pods yield beans with low cocoa butter content and low sugar content. the natural sugars in cocoa beans fuel the fermentation process, which is responsible for much of the classic cocoa flavor.

cacao refers to cacao beans that have not been roasted, what is called cocoa is made of beans that have been roasted. 

cocoa tea cubes can be stored in the refrigerator 

place approximately 1-2  cocoa tea cubes in three cups of water along with: 2 cinnamon bark pieces, 1 borden leaf. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. Finish by adding milk or non-dairy milk alternatives plus sweetener.
