The Caribbean is famous for its sea, sand, and sun. However, it's also renowned for sugar, rum, cotton, coffee, spice, and cocoa. The Caribbean's rich volcanic soils and tropical climate make it a perfect location for an agricultural economy. Cocoa trees especially love this environment, and the Caribbean produces Criollo and Trinitario Cocoa, two of the rarest and most sought-after cocoas in the world. This recipe for Chocolate Tea is a local favorite that infuses that delicious cocoa flavor with local spices to create a genuinely comforting cup of warmth. In addition, we highlight traditionally made cocoa balls that are 100% natural and organic to give you the authentic Cocoa Tea experience.
