This golden needle Dian Hong tea comes from Yunnan. The cacao husks originate in the Dominican Republic and are roasted in the US.
Cacao husks do have a small amount of caffeine but are not the same as cacao nibs or processed chocolate. The combination of tippy black tea and cacao husks becomes a punch in a velvet glove. Energizing but soothing at the same time, this blend is a good morning tea, but use with caution towards bedtime if you are especially caffeine sensitive.
This doesn’t make a clear tea and there is cacao sediment in the cup due to the small size of the husks being used. If this bothers you, you can try using a filter bag. Otherwise, enjoy the extra bit of chocolatey yum at the bottom of the cup!
