Coffee & Cacao Part 3 of 3 Something that surprises most people: Cacao is not a high-caffeine drink. A cup of coffee → ~80–100mg caffeine A ceremonial cacao drink* → ~10–20mg caffeine That’s closer to green tea than espresso. What cacao does have is a significant dose of theobromine — around 300–500mg in a proper ceremonial serving. So when people feel energised by cacao, they’re not riding caffeine. They’re feeling theobromine’s slower, broader action moving through the body over a longer arc. No spike. No crash. Just a steady, warm hum. Or you can out them together and have an explosion! * a ceremonial dose is about 40gr image
Coffee & Cacao: Part 2 of 3 Here’s the detail that changes everything about how cacao feels: It’s full of fat. Raw cacao is rich in cacao butter — a ceremonial serving (40gr)can carry 15–20g of natural fat. And fat changes everything about absorption. It slows the release of active compounds into the bloodstream, smoothing out what would otherwise be a peak into a long, gradual curve. Coffee is a fast aqueous extraction — it hits quickly and leaves. Cacao is fat-carried — it builds slowly and holds. That fat also delivers anandamide (the so-called bliss molecule), magnesium, iron, and flavonoids — compounds that don’t exist in coffee in the same way. #FoodOfTheGods image
Coffee & Cacao: Same Morning, Different Medicine Part 1 of 3 ☕ vs 🍫 — same same but very different medicine. Both coffee and cacao have built civilisations around them. Both are bitter, both beloved, both stimulating. But the compounds doing the work are not the same — and the difference is worth knowing. Coffee runs on caffeine — a fast-acting compound that blocks adenosine receptors (the brain’s tiredness signal). The effect is sharp and quick: alertness, raised heart rate, a cortisol spike. Great for arriving fast. Cacao runs on theobromine — same family of compound, completely different character. It’s slower, gentler, and works more on the body than the brain: dilating blood vessels, relaxing airways, increasing circulation. The lift is warm and sustained, not urgent. It also nudges serotonin and dopamine in ways caffeine doesn’t, which is why people often describe cacao as mood-opening rather than just waking. Same morning ritual energy. Totally different mechanism. None of this makes coffee wrong. We love Colombian coffee too, especially from our neighbours and dear friends, this is top medicine. Caffeine’s sharpness is genuinely useful. But cacao is a different tool — built for a different kind of morning, or a different kind of person. Worth trying once, properly, before deciding it’s not for you. Verify: don’t trust image
