St Lucian Cocoa Tea at Anse Chastanet

One of our guests’ favorites is the local cocoa tea: Guests can sip on freshly grated cocoa tea as part of the breakfast experience and also, learn how to make their own cocoa tea at home.
The basis of our local cocoa tea is the cocoa stick: Cocoa nibs are roasted, ground, mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg and then compressed and dried to form a cocoa stick.

Guests interested in learning more about this entire process can visit our cocoa plantation in the Soufriere hills which is part of our organic farm Emerald’s. There, they can learn more about the cocoa harvesting process. Back at the resort, they can purchase the local cocoa sticks in our resort boutique.
