Crio Bru is roasted, ground, and brewed just like coffee, but has the amazing flavor and aroma of pure dark chocolate. Brew our 100% pure ground cacao in your French press or coffee maker, and your kitchen will have the aroma of pure dark chocolate heaven in no time.
Brewed cacao contains theobromine, a naturally occurring stimulant found in cacao that can be more pleasant than caffeine. Unlike caffeine – which is harsh with a spike and following crash – theobromine works with your body, not against it, giving you a mild, long-lasting lift without making you feel nervous or jittery.
Enjoy the benefits of one of nature’s most amazing superfoods. Cacao is loaded with nutrients that can lower your acidity intake, boost your immune system, help you lose weight, and best of all help you feel great, increase focus, reduce stress, and sleep better.
100% Pure Ground Cacao: Keto, Paleo, Non-GMO, Kosher, Sugar-free, Dairy-free, & Gluten-free.
Certified Organic (Ecuador Light, Ecuador French, Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint, Maya)
Ingredients: Cacao Beans (Cocoa Beans)
Very happy with the sampler! Nice selection of dark and light roasts, and a few flavored blends I may not have tried otherwise. We'll be figuring out our favorites and ordering more, but none of the smaller packs will go to waste.
I drink...probably too much coffee everyday. I use this for after 4PM so I am not taking in any caffeine. I highly recommend you brew this VERY light (3/4 tablespoon) or you are going to get a very bitter / harsh taste.
PROS:
Very easy on my stomach and mind for late evening drink - no caffeine
Smells amazing when you brew it
Fantastic when you add cream and pure maple sugar
CONS:
If you brew too strong there is a horrible bitter taste, cup will be wasted - not drinkable
Absolutely needs a sweetener to be added
Does not taste like it smells, not even close
Pretty much all the brews taste identical
Overall - cool experience trying it, but not for me, I will stick to loose tea in the evenings.
It's alright, but not better than coffee tho. I like my caffeine kick.
So far only tried one and I really like it.
I’m so glad I bought the sampler for my first order because I found a few flavors/roasts that I love and if had I ordered what I thought I’d like, I would never have reordered. I’m giving this four stars instead of five because I couldn’t even stand the smell of a few of the flavors (actually made me wretch and I have a strong stomach), much less the taste. I was also disappointed by the Mocha and Double Chocolate flavors, which I expected to like the most, because the added flavors tasted weird/artificial to me. All that said, a few of the flavors were good and I absolutely loved the flavor of the Ghana Light Roast, even just drinking it black. I’m glad I gave cacao a try because I love the energy and focus I feel when I drink it! No crash, just sustained alertness. I still love the taste of coffee, but this will be nice to add to my options to cut back on caffeine while still getting a much-needed boost of energy/focus throughout the day.
