Spring Awakens
The lightest and most delicate of our blends. Bright, floral, and refreshing, it evokes a sense of new beginnings. Perfect for a morning cup, whether hot or cold brewed.

Summer Twilight
A balanced medium roast with smooth chocolate, ripe fruit, and a touch of woody tannin. Think warm evenings and easy company under a full summer moon.

Bold and comforting. With stout-like roast barley notes and deep chocolate, this is a rich, satisfying cup for those who savor depth and decadence.

How To Brew
- This Brewing cocoa works well in coffee brewers and actually mixed with coffee. Other brewing cocoas can have a tendency to muddy the flavor of coffee I have found, or worse, clog brewing filters or screens. Your mileage may vary, but I’ve found 1:1 ratio wonderful, and if you are just a little careful, so it does not overflow, even straight can work well.
Your tastes may vary but I recommend starting with the following proportions and times: 4 T/8 oz boiling water Steep 5 minutes Press (assuming you are using a press pot - drip works ok too) Enjoy straight, with milk (or cream) and/or sugar.

F.A.Q.
Q: Is brewed cacao just hot chocolate?
A: Nope, it is a totally different animal. Brewing cocoa is best thought of as a cocoa tea. Hot chocolate is thinned down sweetened chocolate and has a full, thick mouthfeel. Brewing cocoa is ground whole cocoa beans extracted with hot or cold water so is more like a tea or coffee.
Q: What is the difference between brewed cacao and cocoa powder?
A: Brewing cocoa is whole, roasted cocoa beans coarsely ground up and ready for brewing. Cocoa powder is what is left over after cocoa nibs are pressed and the cocoa butter is removed.
Q: What does brewed cacao taste like?
A: Oh my, what does a blue sky look like? Brewing cocoa is more like a tea or coffee, instead of hot chocolate.
Q: Can I brew cacao powder like coffee?
A: Generally speaking, yes. Pour over. Check. French press. Check. Coffee maker. Mostly. You need more brewing cocoa than coffee so some machines are too small. Espresso. Sadly not.
We have a video about how to brew brewing cocoa, you should watch it.
Q: Is brewed cacao safe?
A: As safe as tea or coffee and some think more so as it has nearly no caffeine.
Q: What are the benefits of drinking brewed cacao?
A: If you are looking for an alternative for coffee and other caffeinated drinks, Brewed Cacao is the droid you have been looking for in that is it virtually caffeine free (less than decaf green tea).
Q: Which is healthier cocoa or cacao?
A: Neither. They are the same. People will tell you tons of things to make it sound fancy or more complicated but cocoa is in English, and Cacao is generally Spanish.
Likewise: Brewing Cocoa = Brewed Cacao
Care & Storage
To preserve its freshness and rich flavor, store your brewing cocoa in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Like most cocoa products, it benefits from stable, moderate conditions and should be kept sealed when not in use.
