Honest Energy™ - 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.

Nicaragua Cacao Bean Origin- Managua, Nicaragua. For the past few years, we have been working with one of the leading cacao purveyors from Nicaragua. We are ecstatic to be able to bring you this new variety that showcases the exceptional quality they are able to provide.
There are many wonderful cacao varieties in Nicaragua for making chocolate but we have selected this particular one for its amazing flavor when brewed.
This was my first attempt at making a pot of Crio Bru. I think my measurements of Crio Bru and water were not too good. I followed the instructions on the bag for my coffee pot, but it came out too weak. I will try to make it in the french press and see if this makes it stronger.
The taste is also good and the entire starter package came up to the standard that I had hoped.
Sadly, the cacao gave me heartburn or indigestion. I'm prone to this but was hoping that the cacao drink would be gentle enough. I was wrong. Perhaps I should try it again in smaller quantities. But for now im disappointed.
