Cacao Citrus Teabags

Martha Washington's Cacao Shell Tea Tin -  20 teabags with Roasted cacao shells and blended with dried citrus peel - orange peel and lemon peel  History: Martha Washington enjoyed drinking cacao shell tea, which she made from roasted shells and sipped at breakfast. George Washington wrote to his agent, “She will, . . . thank you to get 20 Lbs of the shells of Cocoa nuts, if they can be had of the Chocolate makers." Tasting notes: Aroma of toast before brewing. Steeping in hot water unleashes a tonic of chocolate with a touch of tart citrus. The brew yields a full-bodied, slightly bitter infusion with strong notes of chocolate, and light flavors of melon.   Caffeine: Cacao shell tea is caffeine-free, but it does contain other natural stimulants.   Brewing:  Suggested serving per 10oz cup:  1 teabag, 205 degrees.  Cacao shells and citrus peels take 10 minutes to infuse their full flavor.   NOTE:  During initial processing and roasting, Cacao Shells may be exposed to  Nuts, Soy, and Dair
