Crio Bru is 100% Cocoa that brews like Coffee in either a coffee percolator or French Press. Although the cocoa beans are roasted, many of the benefits that are found in the raw bean like high antioxidants and minerals are still found in a cup of Crio Bru. Unlike many other hot beverages on the market, Crio Bru contains little or no caffeine. It does however contain a stimulate that is closely related to caffeine, called Theobromine. It increases energy slowly without the common jitters that occurs with caffeinated beverages. To learn more about the effects of Theobromine and the differences and similarities between it and its cousin caffeine, please refer to Crio Bru's FAQ page.

| I received the following products from Crio Bru to review. |
The Chocolate Covered Crio Beans are rich, crunchy and delicious. They taste mild and are not bitter like than a coffee bean. The outer chocolate layer is thick and the consistency reminds me slightly of a truffle. They make a wonderful little treat to satisfy that little chocolate craving without overindulging.

| What a lovely French Press! |

| As you can see the granules are very coarse. |

| Time to begin pressing the Cocoa |
My husband has taken a liking to both varieties. He is the larger coffee drinker out of the both of has and enjoys mixing a blend of coffee and Crio Bru. It is nice to see him cut down on his caffeine intake and replace parts of it with something so healthy and delicious. While the Vega Real and Cavella Dark Roast are both great on their own, I really enjoy it with a variety of different milk substitutes. They specify on the website that it tastes wonderful with cream as well.
Crio Bru has offered my readers a 12 oz package of Coca River, a 12 oz package of Vega Real, a 4 oz package of Crio Beans and a convenient Travel Press.

I learned that they sell a Nut Milk Bag and you can make your own Nut Milks at home. For Nut Milks
Just blend your choice of nuts, water and a sweetener (agave, dates, honey) in a blender. Then strain through the nut milk bag for silky, smooth, creamy milk that can replace any diary or soy milk for drinking or in recipes.
Very Cool
