Our specialty is 100% pure ceremonial cacao, and also drinking chocolate that combines the artisanal cacao with coconut sugar and different herbs and spices. All of these products are prepared by blending with hot water.Cacao paste can't be brewed like coffee because it's essentially pure chocolate and will melt in hot water.However cacao nibs (crushed, roasted cacao seeds, aka cacao "beans") have not yet been ground to the finer texture of chocolate. So nibs can be steeped or "brewed" more like a tea or coffee, using a tea strainer or French press. Cacao husk (the paper-thin material that is removed from the seeds after roasting) can also be brewed like a tea. However the husk is considered to have a higher heavy metal content than the seed (which is made into paste), so we don't recommend consuming a lot of cacao husk tea."Brewed cacao" appears to be a new marketing concept of steeping a combination of nibs and husk. It would give a light chocolate flavor without the energy or other superfood benefits of consuming the actual cacao paste. We recommend enjoying cacao the traditional way, as a blend of cacao paste in hot water!
