Product Description
Start your mornings with the fine flavor of this Cacao Mint Tea. The brew yields a full-bodied, slightly bitter infusion with strong notes of chocolate, and light flavors of melon. Peppermint is added as a natural complement to the flavor of cacao. Martha Washington enjoyed steeping the shells of roasted cocoa nuts from the cacao tree for the interesting flavor and health benefits. This loose tea is beautifully packaged in a 1.5 oz canister in Charleston, South Carolina by the Oliver Pluff Company exclusively for Colonial Williamsburg.
