Grenadian Cocoa Tea Balls – Heritage Drinking Chocolate

This is how Grenada drinks chocolate.

Cocoa Tea is a heritage beverage tradition in Grenada, made by grating or dissolving cocoa balls into warm milk or water. This is not a modern product category. It is a centuries-old preparation that predates the chocolate bar, passed down through Grenadian households and still made the same way today.

Why these cocoa balls
Made from single-origin fine flavour cacao grown through the Grenada Cocoa Farmers Association, ground with traditional Grenadian warm spices — nutmeg, cinnamon, and bay leaf. No added sugar, no fillers, no flavourings. Just fermented, dried, roasted, and ground Grenadian cacao, pressed into traditional ball form. The same origin as all Spice Isle bars.

Ingredients
Cocoa beans, cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaf.

How to prepare
Grate or crumble one ball into warm milk or water. Sweeten to your preference. A single ball makes one generous mug.
