We carry Caldera Mist Chocolate Abyss, a blend of several black teas, including one from Colombia and Colombian cacao nibs and cacao husks.

This new blend took me on a little chocolate lesson. I didn't know if cacao and cocoa were the same thing. It turns out they are and they aren't. Cocoa comes from the cacao tree. Cocoa is made by heating the cacao bean at a very high temperature. The heat creates a sweet version of cacao. On the other hand, cacao has a slightly bitter edge.

You may have heard that cacao is healthy for you - that's true - it's another plant that provides tons of antioxidants and is referred to as a Superfood. However, cocoa, or the heated version of cacao, doesn't carry as much antioxidant punch, because some of its nutrients are lost in the heating process.

Our cacao products, which include nibs, husks and shells - come from Tumaco, a port city in northern Colombia. Tumaco is world renowned for its cacao and cocoa products.

Keep this in mind as you sip any of our teas with cacao:

• Caldera Mist Chocolate Abyss - sweet black tea with a hint of bittersweet chocolate.
• Stress Less - you'll get a hint of wispy chocolate in an otherwise savory blend.
• Cycle Goddess - the cacao offers anti-inflammatory and circulatory benefits, as well as great flavor!
