This Natural cacao tea is produced in GUATEMALA
MADE WITH LOVE IN PAXIL AND KAYALA (GUATEMALA), THIS TEA IS FILLED WITH INCREDIBLE PROPERTIES THAT WILL ACTIVATE AND HEAL YOUR BODY.
This tea is made from the husk or bean shell that covers the cacao beans. After the beans of our cacao are wood-fire roasted, the cacao gets peeled by hand, and the husk or shell that comes from it becomes our healthy and delicious cacao tea!
You might be new to cacao tea, but once you add it to your life, you will fall in love with it! Here are some of its incredible benefits:
It is incredibly high in antioxidants and flavonoids. It fights free radicals and helps reduce inflammation of the body. It helps stabilize blood pressure. It stabilizes serotonin, helping create a state of happiness. Contains theobromine, which is a caffeine-free source of energy, and is considered a mood regulator, improves heart health, improves the respiratory system, increases cognitive function after consumption, and much more. Since it is free from sugar, gluten, and it has no additives at all, cacao tea is low in calories
And did you know cacao tea is a great alternative for people who can't drink 100% ceremonial cacao paste? If you have an ulcer, are taking anti-depressive or anti-anxiety medication, if you are taking medication for epilepsy, and some other chemical medications for mental health issues, you might not be able to drink 100% ceremonial cacao paste. BUT in that case this amazing cacao tea is a great alternative, and you can definitely drink it! (of course, in balance and a reasonable daily quantity).
DIRECTIONS
Mix 1-3 Tsps of cacao tea into 1 cup of boiling water! Cover up well and leave for 2-5 minutes. Strain and enjoy your tea. You can also add 1 clove, cinnamon, and/or a natural sweeter of preference.Â
BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR TEA!
It is also delicious and healthy to make a refreshing beverage out of your cacao tea! Make it in a pitcher (with the measures mentioned above used proportionally depending on how much water you are using), and store it in the fridge. You will now have a super healthy and delicious beverage for the whole family!
You can also use the tea water as a natural product that can be an amazing hair mask. Let the cacao husk infused water cool. And apply it on your hair and scalp. Some of the natural cacao oils remain in the husk, which will make your hair shiny and silky. But also its antioxidants and other properties will promote hair growth, and prevent hair loss.
