Use 2 grams of loose Sifted Tea (or approx 1tsp) per 8oz of water
For a teapot, use 2 rounded tbsp per 2-4 cups water. Steep for a minimum of 5 minutes. To make it stronger, add more tea or use less water. To make it weaker... You get the idea.
French Press | Tea Pot | Tea Infuser | Reusable Muslin Bag | Percolator / Pour-Over
However you like to steep tea, go for it! It can also steep like a coffee - hence the french press and pour-over techniques. Keep in mind that the flavor only gets stronger and bolder (with more hints of chocolate) the longer it steeps. Cacao tea doesn't get bitter or acidic. It just gets more awesome. Steep 4-6 hours and chill for an iced tea concentrate!

It's very aromatic and brews a nice cup of tea! I wish there was an option to have cacao nibs in it as well, to make it even chocolaty-er, although I know that that would add caffeine.
Hi Melanie! Thanks for your review! We certainly agree that a stronger, bolder flavor would be a lovely option - but you are certainly correct that by adding cacao nibs we'd be negating our mission to be caffeine-free. We've sent you an email with some suggested recipes to try, as well as a slightly longer steep or trying different brewing methods (in my opinion a french press gets it the strongest, because you're able to agitate the husks after it sits for a while by pumping the press up and down a few times). Hope all this helps, thanks for being a loyal customer!

Magical chocolatey deliciousness
If you love hot chocolate but don’t always want the calories, caffeine, and fat this is the answer! I like to enjoy at bedtime and know it won’t keep me awake. Delicious added to Earl grey tea too! Excited to try it iced once the weather gets warm.
