Cacao

The Mayan Elixir Organic Cacao Shell Tea comes in a resealable bag that holds 15 pyramid‑shaped sachets. Each sachet contains a blend of cacao husks (the shells of the cacao bean), vanilla, and cinnamon bark. Eco packaging, giving the product an eco‑friendly presentation. When the bag is opened the aroma of cacao and cinnamon is immediately apparent, hinting at the chocolate‑like profile that will develop during steeping.For brewing, the recommended method is to pour hot water over the sachet and let it steep for the full 10 minutes, though the tea can also be heated slowly on the stove to intensify the flavor. The pyramid shape allows the cacao shells to expand, maximizing the release of aroma and flavor. Because the tea is naturally caffeine‑free and contains no added sugar, it can be enjoyed as a warm, comforting drink on its own or with a splash of creamer or a sugar‑free sweetener. The absence of bitterness even with extended steeping makes it suitable for those who prefer a milder cocoa experience.The resulting cup is light, earthy, and subtly chocolatey, with a faint hint of vanilla and a gentle cinnamon undertone. The flavor can feel somewhat diluted compared to the strong aroma, but longer steeping or using multiple sachets per cup can produce a richer taste. The product offers a clean, vegan, non‑GMO option that delivers antioxidant benefits without caffeine.

My wife bought this tea at a market and now I’m a big fan, it’s delicious and it can substitute a heavy dessert as it has sweet, dessert-like notes. Happy my wife found Azomalli!

Good quality tea

This team gives you the nice aroma and taste of cacao. The sachets look like you would expect for cacao shells in both color and beauty. The tea it makes is of good quality.With all that said while I appreciate the beauty and color designs of the bag and the quality of the sachets I'm very weary at giving 5 stars to a product that is over $1 per a cup of tea. I'd probably pay closer to 50 cents a tea bag for quality like this but I do recommend this product if you are looking for the cacao taste and don't mind the price

Delicious mix of ingredients

This tea was surprisingly good. I wasn't sure what to expect from the mix of cacao, vanilla and cinnamon but I love it.When I first opened the bag I didn't love the scent but after making the tea it smelled amazing. The flavor really captures the chocolate notes. It tastes delicious both with and without sweetener.It is caffeine free, which me and that I can take it before bed to help me relax. Great value for the price!

Mexican hot chocolate

If you like mexican hot chocolate, you will like this tea. The flavor is a little weak, but I get that its tea, not hot cocoa. Real nice

Flavorful tea

The only downside to this tea is that it takes a while to steep, and I'm impatient. If you can let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes, it has a really nice flavor, and I enjoy it a lot. It's great with honey!

Very lovely

Lovely and warming tea, I can taste the vanilla and the cinnamon is not overpowering which I like as sometimes cinnamon can be very strong, but not here. Good balance of flavors!

Cacao Shell Tea with Cinnamon Bark, Soothing Antioxidant Herbal Tea

This is a nice herbal tea with a simple 3-ingredient composition. It comes as a plastic pyramid teabag with plastic mesh to dispense 2.5 grams of the ingredients. I can see through the mesh that there are a lot of small chunks in brown color. It is convenient to remove the teabag when you feel the flavor is good enough. I like to have a pretty concentrated drink, so I steepened for a long time. The teabag has a strong alcohol aroma apparently carried from vanilla ingredients. The tea solution, however, has a dominant cinnamon flavor over alcohol. Nevertheless, the combines flavor is nice. It is a little spicy and with a refreshing sensation. It is also nice to go with a meal. Regarding to the health benefits, both cocoa shell and cinnamon bark contain a lot of fibers and antioxidants. They might have additional benefit in digestion and weight control beyond their effects over anti-inflammation.

Gentle & Uplifting

Cacao also contains theobromine, offering a gentle, uplifting effect without the jittery crash of caffeine, making it an excellent alternative to coffee.

The Bliss Molecule

Cacao, also known as “food of the gods” contains anandamide—known as the “bliss molecule”—which naturally lifts your mood and nourishes the soul. Sip slowly and let the comforting warmth of cacao open your heart.

FAQ

How will I feel after drinking cacao?

Most people describe it as grounding and steady - like a calm kind of comfort. Because cacao contains theobromine (a different stimulant than caffeine), some people feel more alert without the same jitters they might get from coffee. Everyone’s body is different, so start with a smaller cup if you’re sensitive.

Will cacao make me "high"?

Cacao isn’t a “get you high” ingredient. What some people feel is a gentle lift - more like being warmed, softened, or a little more open. Cacao naturally contains theobromine, which can feel energizing for some people, but it’s not an intoxicant.

How do I make cacao tea?

Steep 1 sachet of you favorite Azomalli cacao tea in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Steep longer for a richer, darker cup (it stays smooth). Add a splash of milk or a little honey if you want.

Is drinking cacao tea good for you?

Cacao is widely loved as a nourishing plant - it naturally contains antioxidants and minerals like magnesium. That said, what’s “good for you” depends on your body and what you’re adding to it (like sugar or dairy). We keep it simple: cacao can be a beautiful daily ritual that supports your overall sense of wellbeing.

Does Cacao tea contain caffeine?

Let us debunk this common misconception: Azomalli's cacao tea is made from the finely roasted shells of cacao beans and does not contain caffeine. It does contain, however, theobromine.

Do you test cacao shells for heavy metals and contaminants?

Yes. At Azomalli, product safety is non-negotiable. Every batch of our cacao undergoes rigorous testing for lead and other heavy metals as well as for microbiological purity at accredited third-party laboratories. We follow strict food safety protocols and only use cacao and herbs that meets or exceeds all regulatory standards. If a batch does not pass, it is rejected and never used in our products. Your health and safety are our highest priorities.

What is Theobromine?

Found naturally in cacao, theobromine is the feel-good compound that gives cocoa its magic. Unlike caffeine, it provides a smooth and long-lasting boost without the jitters, helping to enhance focus, support heart health, and even promote relaxation. A natural vasodilator, it improves circulation and may contribute to lower blood pressure. Plus, with mild mood-lifting and bronchodilation effects, theobromine makes indulging in cocoa not just delicious but beneficial, too!

Is this sugar and gluten free?

Yes. Each blend is 100% sugar, gluten-free and allergen-free.

Are Azomalli's teas organic?

Yes, your Azomalli tea is organic and certified by Natural Food Certifiers (NFC).

What are Azomalli's tea sachets made of and are they safe?

Azomalli's pyramid sachets are 100% safe and are made from biodegradable food-grade material made from sugar PLA (polylactic acid). Each batch is tested to ensure it is safe to consume.

Unlike other commercially available tea bags made from nylon, polypropylene, and cellulose that release billions of micro and nano-plastics into a single cup of tea, our sachets are made from natural material that not only makes it more eco-friendly but also ensures its absolute safety for consumption.

Are Azomalli's product packaging environmentally friendly?

Yes. Azomalli's pouches are made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) food-grade safe material. This means that the material has been recycled from used products, reducing the amount of waste and thus having a positive impact on the environment. This type of eco-friendly packaging method is an integral part of a circular economy where materials are reused instead of thrown away. It ensures Azomalli meets its sustainability goals by reducing its carbon footprint.
