Delicious bold and roasty natural chocolate taste with an earthy flavor. If desired, add your favorite creamer or sweetener.
Roasted, ground, and brewed just like coffee, Crio Bru Brewed Cacao 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.
Cacao is packed with nutrients like antioxidants to boost your immune system and magnesium to support bone, brain, and heart health. Additionally, while low in carbs and calories, cacao also acts as a natural appetite suppressant. Best of all, cacao is loaded with natural mood enhancers that can help you feel great, increase focus, reduce stress, and sleep better.
Brewed cacao is 99.9% caffeine free but contains theobromine, a naturally occurring stimulant found in cacao that can be longer lasting, milder, and more pleasant than caffeine.
100% Pure Ground Cacao: Keto, Paleo, Non-GMO, Kosher, Sugar-free, Dairy-free, & Gluten-free.
Cacao Bean Origin – Volta River, Ghana.
Winding throughout the country, the Volta River gives shape to the lovely landscape of Ghana. The surrounding agricultural area is dotted with small, family-owned farms that produce the very best African cacao for Crio Bru. The dark, earthy-toned beans are carefully selected to enhance the full-bodied chocolate flavor, with hints of coconut and cinnamon.
Ingredients: Cacao Beans (Cocoa Beans)

I’m a big Criobru fan in general but the Ghana French Roast is my favorite by far. It is so rich and flavorful. I like mine with a bit of Laird superfood creamer. Great combo!

My friend and I ordered 4 10oz bags to split so we could try a variety of types. I fell so in love with this Ghana French Roast. It is so smooth and chocolatey...I just love it!

Love this stuff! It gives me way more energy than coffee -as a matter of fact, I have to be careful how much I drink because it’s almost too much energy for me! I love the fact that it is not acidic, so way better for you than coffee.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed how I am unable to tolerate the caffeine in coffee, even decaffeinated coffee. Discovering Crio Bru has been a Godsend! It’s wonderful, brews beautifully in the French press (my favorite way to brew coffee) and such a delight every morning. I am not a chocolate eater in any way but I love the taste of CB. Made correctly, it truly is a slice of heaven in every sip.

I was looking for a brewed chocolate beverage without the cream and sugar of traditional hot cocoa drinks. So I was not surprised by the bitter taste and watery consistency of Criu Bru. That's exactly what I wanted! However, I was surprised by how different the actual product is from the advertised product.
First, Crio Bru does NOT brew just like coffee. A more accurate slogan would be "Brews Kind of Like Coffee." You cannot use a standard coffee maker without a special setting and a gold filter, and you cannot use a manual drip cone. You can use a French Press, but you must let it brew longer and it is messier to strain. After lots of experimenting, I found the best method was to let the cacao and water barely simmer (very, very gently) on the stove top for at least ten minutes. Then strain using a fine mesh strainer. (I tried straining through a drip cone with a paper liner, keeping as much cacao as possible in the pan, but the paper filter clogged immediately). While simmering, the fragrance is heavenly. The actual taste is quite bitter, even for someone like me who likes it very bitter.
The brewed cacao tastes much better diluted with almond milk or soymilk, and it even better served as an iced beverage. And that is the second discrepancy. The product is not as low in fat as Criu Bru indicates. After an hour or two in the fridge there is a definite layer of saturated fat all over the sides of the pitcher. I was shocked by the amount of fat.…
