Coffee and cacao are often grouped together, but they behave differently. Coffee is driven by caffeine; high-cacao chocolate leads with cacao itself — and the compound that gives cacao its character, theobromine.
A different kind of energy
Cacao naturally contains theobromine, which gives high-cacao chocolate its deep, bitter and energising character. Many people describe the experience as calmer and more even than a strong coffee.
Why not both?
You do not have to choose. The Morning Coffee Ritual is simply adding 1–2 AztecBlood pieces to your coffee — the cacao rounds out the cup and turns it into a deliberate moment.
