UNCONVENTIONAL TEAS

MANOA CHOCOLATE | MANOA CHOCOLATE TEA
The Japanese term “Mottainai” can be translated as “What a waste”, it encourages using the output from one process into the input of another. In this case the shells of the roasted cacao beans are steeped in hot water creating a chocolatey aromatic “Tea” This tea contains Theobromine which has a similar molecular structure to caffeine. Theobromine is known for lifting your mood, providing focus and clarity.

TRADITION COFFEE ROASTERS | 100% KONA CASCARA TEA
This intense sweetness of dried cherries combined with hibiscus aromatics are created from the fruit known as a coffee cherry. Coffee “beans” comes from a delicious, sweet fruit about the size of a penny. The fruit and skin are dried on open air beds to create this antioxidant rich blend. Cascara consumption is believed to predate roasted coffee, so enjoy this very traditional tea! Cascara Tea contains approximately 25mg of caffeine much like a green tea.
