I remember posting bits and pieces of this place because I didn't have time to compiled the videos. Here's one of the newest place in town (ok as of this date now , it may not be the newest anymore, LOL) that I've visited few months back and it's one that is filled with gorgeous lush and lovely space. Most importantly, specially only selling cacao related . Which is great because then more people will be educated on this produce and how and what cacaos are all about. I'm very into cacao mostly because our country produces it but has never quite gotten the lime light and attention, and there's so much benefits of cacao that is often being neglected because they are un-glam.
Here you see they introduce cacao tea, which essentially is very similar to cascara. Cacao tea is brewed using cacao husk and you can mildly taste the aroma of remaining cacao fragrant, with a light sweet finishing.
The husk of cacao beans (that's the seed of cacao fruit), is what's being removed before the seed goes into the next step of process before you get your chocolate.
I guess sustainable practice also includes fully using every part before it goes to becoming waste. So whoever first steep the husk in hot water, please give him or her a standing ovation for contributing to #zerowaste.
