caffeine. our filter cacao contains about 1/8 to 1/10 of the levels of caffeine compared to the same volume of filter coffee . as a result it can be enjoyed round the clock without caffeine-jitters.
theobromine. a cup of 150ml filter cacao contains 50mg of theobromine . a gentler, more steady and long lasting source of energy.
polyphenols. the same cup of 150ml contains 90mg of polyphenols, known for their contribution to maintain the elasticity of blood vessels & optimum blood flow . a daily dosis of 200mg is considered having immediate positive health effects .
so you only need 2.22 cups of filter cacao to hit that mark.
no waste. after brewing you can reuse the cacao grounds for baking, scooping into your (plant-based) yoghurt or granola, etc . it just keeps giving.
calorie-free. the high cacao butter content of our light roasted ground cacao (55-58%) delivers a unique, complex taste & aroma to our brew . but by using a paper filter, our brew is considered completely fat- & sugar free with only 1.7 kcal/100ml.

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cacao farms in El Salvador
Finca chiquihuat is led by Don Herbert, a doctor and a cacao maestro. He talks about cacao as a medicinal fruit. Far from the industry but at the same time with a strong awareness of the highest quality standards. His focus is always on the cacao which he calls "ancestral", his farm is very diverse and has a large amount of cacao criollo.
an oasis in the middle of sugar cane plantations
A lot of attention is given to a rigorous post-harvest technique, where fermentation of the beans is controlled in such a way that as many of the chemical components, having beneficial health effects, are retained in the cacao bean. We find an abundance of timber and fruit trees, including 7 mango varieties and the patashtes (theobroma bicolor), which belong to the same family of cacao. All these trees form a protective shade forest that allows the cacao trees to be productive and healthy
