Health Benefits of Cocoa Tea:
- Antioxidants: Cocoa powder is rich in flavonoids, which can help improve heart health, reduce inflammation, and support brain function.
- Cinnamon: A natural anti-inflammatory spice, cinnamon may help stabilize blood sugar levels and support digestion.
- Tea: Depending on your choice, tea provides unique benefits—from green tea’s metabolism-boosting properties to chamomile’s calming effects.

- 1 tea bag (choose your favorite!)
