cacao as a coffee alternative
Pure cacao is a great alternative to coffee when you enjoy it as a hot cacao drink. This is because cacao is high in Theobromine, a natural stimulant similar to caffeine, but without the jittery effects. Theobromine affects the cardiovascular system, whereas caffeine affects the nervous system, hence why many people get anxious and jumpy from drinking coffee.
Sourcing
cacao beans
Proudly sourcing single-origin, fairly-traded, organic certified cacao beans from Dominican Republic. Our cacao beans have notes of peanuts and honey.
the white pattern
untempered
Untempered means a white 'bloom' pattern will be on the cacao.
Tempering cacao means raising and lower the temperature so that the crystal formulation inside the chocolate is altered. We don't temper the 100% cacao block, as it doesn't need it. When it's untempered it melts quicker - so it's perfect for hot cacao and baking.
Let customers speak for us
Love this interesting combination of ingredients. A different way to experience pure cacao with a hit of orange. I love that the orange is subtle.

I was delighted to get my block of pure cacao as I had nearly run out of the previous one. I use it for hot chocolate and this time I tried breaking it up with a knife rather than shredding it. It took much less time and melts perfectly in preheated plant milk, being untempered.
This is the perfect afternoon or post-dinner treat. I love it unadulterated and find it satisfies any sweet cravings. I'm drinking it daily. Highly recommend 👍

Ive been looking for caffeine alternatives, and was very pleased to find this product. Also to see all the reviews of people who cant tolerate Caffeine either!! Its a lovely smooth drink , with a lovely bitter taste not unlike a coffee!! Feel much more balanced afterwards though than after coffee.
It’s great really enjoy not worrying about running out of it anymore 😉
