Montezuma's Chai Tea - CFT-Chai Teas

Legend suggests that the first cocoa beans came out of paradise and lent wisdom and power to the person that ate them. For obvious reasons, the use of cocoa was kept to a minimum by the emperors. It is believed that the Mayas first discovered chocolate. They used the cocoa bean from the Cacao tree as an ingredient in their favorite drink. Xocotlatl is an aromatic chocolate drink mixed with vanilla, pepper and other herbs to make a powerful and tasty beverage. Hey even Montezuma, Aztec emperor was a chocolate fanatic!! We hope you will enjoy this modern rendition as much as we do!
