Like our second most beloved bean (here's looking at you, coffee!) all cacao beans contain some amount of naturally occurring caffeine. Luckily for us and our dessert habits, the caffeine content in cacao is significantly lower than what you'd get from a cup of coffee. Here's what you can expect from our Cacao Powder and Cacao Nibs:
-
Cacao Powder = 20mg of caffeine per 1 tablespoon (6g)
-
Cacao Nibs = 5mg of caffeine per 1 teaspoon (3g)
And for a little perspective:
- Coffee; 1 cup brewed: 80-135mg
- Coffee; 1 cup drip: 115-175mg
- Coffee; 1 shot espresso: 75-100mg
- Black tea; 1 cup steeped: 49-90mg
- Matcha tea; 1 cup brewed: 45-60mg
- Green tea; 1 cup steeped: 20-45mg
