    Storage Guide

    Please note the pouches are not airtight, and therefore once opened, your tisane should be transferred to an airtight caddy or storage jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. We do not recommend glass, plastic and paper containers.

    Medical disclaimer

    Any noted health benefits of our herbal infusions are from traditional medicine and should not be used to prevent or cure any disease.

    Consult a GP if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have any other health concerns.

    Our herbal infusions are allergen free, however we cannot guarantee that our foragers and pickers have not come into any contact with any allergens whilst picking or processing.

  • Our organic cocoa beans are harvested from the Crayfish Bay Organic Cocoa Estate on the volcanic Caribbean island of Grenada. A by-product of the chocolate making process, our sustainable cocoa husks and nibs are fermented for 5 days, sundried, charcoal roasted and finally milled slightly to increase dissolution. Cocoa beans contain a small amount of caffeine.

    Our wild linden flowers are hand harvested 1,400m above sea level from their native habitat, the Motcor forest in the Lori region of Armenia, during a single week after St. John’s day (normally between 21-28 June each year). The method of collection and processing has been passed down over thousands of years. All of the processing is done by hand by the residents of the village of Odzun and is supervised by an ethnobotanist.

  • After its arrival to Europe in the sixteenth century, sugar was added to it and it became popular throughout society, first among the ruling classes and then among the common people. In 1828, a Dutch chemist found a way to make powdered chocolate by removing about half the natural fat (cacao butter) from chocolate liquor, pulverising what remained and treating the mixture with alkaline salts to cut the bitter taste. His product became known as 'Dutch cocoa', and it soon led to the creation of solid chocolate. The creation of the first modern chocolate bar is credited to Joseph Fry, who in 1847 discovered that he could make a mouldable chocolate paste by adding melted cacao butter back into Dutch cocoa.

    In fact the seeds possessed so much value, that they were used as a form of currency. One bean could be traded for a tamale, while 100 beans could purchase a good turkey hen, according to a 16th-century Aztec document. Originally prepared in drink form, 'chocolate' was served as a bitter liquid, mixed with spices or corn puree shared during religious ceremonies. Both the Mayans and Aztecs believed the cacao bean had magical, or even divine, properties, suitable for use in the most sacred rituals of birth, marriage and death. It was believed to be an aphrodisiac and to give the drinker strength. Today, such drinks are also known as 'Chilate' and are made by locals in the South of Mexico.

  • Delivery time 1 - 5 working days, after the day of despatch. Order before 2pm on a working day for same day despatch.

Discover Our Cocoa's Origin

Brayfish Bay has designed its own unique roaster which uses charcoal. We believe it to be the only commercial roaster of this type in the world. Charcoal is purchased locally which supports the village economy. All the wood used for making charcoal is the result of storm damage or land clearance. No trees are cut down specifically for the making of charcoal and this system of roasting gives the cocoa its own unique flavour.
