5,000 years before coffee there was brewed cacao. According to Mayan legend, it was discovered by the gods who carried it down from sacred mountains. This “drink of the gods” was served to kings in golden cups and given to warriors before battle. Cups of brewed cacao were buried with the honored dead to sustain them in the afterlife.
The ancients called it cacao. We call it Crio Bru.
