We are excited to offer a unique taste experience in this new tisane, made from the winnowed husks of ethically sourced, organic cacao beans! During the chocolate-making process, chocolatiers roast cacao beans and then remove the outer shells to obtain the nib. These husks retain a tiny portion of the cocoa nib and the aromatic oils that give chocolate its flavorful characteristics, so when steeped in hot water – they make an intense, cocoa cuppa!
Our husks come from beans hailing from Bolivia, Peru and the Dominican Republic. This blend yields a richly aromatic, slightly spicy cup reminiscent of Mexican drinking chocolate.
Important: We highly recommend two teaspoons of tea and one teaspoon of sugar per cup when making this tea! The sugar fully awakens the cocoa flavor, similar to adding sugar to cocoa powder for a pleasing hot chocolate.
Pairs well with fruit, pepper-heavy foods, and chocolate cravings.

It took a long time for us to come to an peaceful understanding with herbal teas. As habitual tea drinkers, a lot of common herbal blends were too overburdened with conflicting flavors and fruitiness for our everyday desires. In looking for ways to elevate African Red Bush tisanes like rooibos and honeybush, however, we found uncommon flavors and quality that really called out to our team.
This collection of herbal teas (also known as tisanes) have earned places of honor in our tea cabinets, as blends that accentuate the natural flavors of red bush teas… or represent the pinnacle of rooibos, in the case of our Organic offering. All of them are caffeine-free, are infinitely forgiving when it comes to steeping, and make excellent iced tea to boot! This bundle includes four small-sized canisters of:

Rooibos is an herbal, caffeine free plant produced primarily in South Africa, and is processed in similar fashion to tea. Most importantly, however, it’s delicious – rooibos brews to a deep reddish cuppa with natural malty tones and no astringent tones, while taking things like honey and milk just as a dark black tea would. For those avoiding caffeine or looking for something warm that isn’t going to keep them up at night, rooibos more than makes the grade when satisfying those cravings,
Pairs well with fish, rich cheeses, and late nights.

The simplest of herbal drinks, mint has been a favorite throughout many cultures. Between its invigorating brew, soothing properties, and distinctive flavor, our spearmint makes a lovely cuppa when tea just isn’t in the cards. When fancy strikes, we’ve taken to mixing spearmint with other teas and drinks to give them an extra ‘zing,’ especially around the holidays.
Pairs well with baked goods, chocolate, and sore throats
Traditional African rooibos “tea” joined with its most popular counterpart. Simple but delicious, the smooth maltiness of rooibos goes hand in hand with a bit of creamy vanilla. It produces a deliciously drinkable cuppa of warm flavor akin to a fine bourbon. One of our favorite everyday tisanes.
Pairs well with just about everything, seriously. We drink this like it’s water.
