We source to find the most potent & flavorful cacao so you get all the goodies that make it a renowned superfood and beautiful assistant in opening the heart. We source to find the most potent cacao so that it has all the goodies that make it a renowned super food and superb assistant in opening the heart. Our cacao comes from Guatemala, whose climate and soils grow some of the best cacao, what so

me call criollo, the wild/native variety of cacao. It just so happens that this type of cacao also tastes great and has a complex flavor profile. We've all heard that dark chocolate is good for our health but not everyone knows that the benefits come from the pure cacao that is sourced & processed properly. Our cacao is processed the way it has been for thousands of years; fully fermented, sun-dried, toasted and ground. So skip the additives and get your premium cacao straight up. Our name, Heartblood, is inspired by the Aztec word for cacao, Yollotl Eztli, which translates as heart’s blood. They understood long ago the potent properties and healing powers of this plant. Brew up a drink as a morning energizer, make delicious treats, or open your heart with the full ceremonial dose.

Coffee is a sprint.
Cacao is a long walk.
The active compound in cacao isn't caffeine. It's theobromine — a methylxanthine that shares a molecular family with caffeine but behaves nothing like it.
Caffeine peaks in an hour and crashes shortly after. Theobromine — what's actually in cacao — sustains for 4-6 hours without the cortisol spike, without the vessel constriction, without the bedtime tax.
Most people who "tried cacao and didn't feel anything" were comparing it to coffee's hijack. That's not what cacao does. It's a different tool.

It's a lifestyle, not just a product. Health & wellbeing isn't just about what we feed our bodies. It's about what we feed our minds and our souls. It's about slowing down and appreciating the good things that nurture us.

Worried about saturated fat in 100% cacao? You're not alone — it's one of the questions we hear most. Here's the short version: cacao butter is a healthy fat. It's high in stearic acid, which your body converts to heart-healthy oleic acid (the same monounsaturated fat in olive oil). Research even shows regular cacao consumption can lower LDL cholesterol. Swipe through for the full breakdown. 🍫

When Consumer Reports tested 28 dark chocolate bars and flagged 23 of them for lead or cadmium, I read the whole study — and noticed something.
Almost no chocolate brand actually publishes their lab work.
So when our latest lot came back from Eurofins (independent food safety lab), I asked for the full panel. Here's what they sent back 👇
🔬 LEAD: 17.9 parts per billion
→ 80% below the EU's legal limit for cocoa powder
→ Below California's Prop 65 threshold
For scale: that's about one drop of water across 28 backyard swimming pools. Or roughly an inch across the distance from New York to Los Angeles.
🔬 CADMIUM: 242 parts per billion
→ 60% below the EU's legal limit for cocoa powder
→ Well under California's Prop 65, too
This is what real ceremonial cacao should look like. Not just well-sourced beans and a beautiful pouch — actual receipts. The lab work that says exactly what's in your cup.
We're publishing the full Eurofins certificate so you don't have to take our word for it.

High flavanol cacao — what does that actually mean?
It's a question we get a lot. So let's break it down.
🌱 Flavonoids are a huge family of plant compounds — thousands of types, found in fruits, vegetables, tea, and yes, cacao.
🍫 Flavanols are a specific subgroup within flavonoids. They're the ones cacao is famous for. And they're the ones with hundreds of clinical studies behind them — particularly for supporting healthy blood flow, circulation, and cardiovascular function.
📊 The widely cited target for cocoa flavanol benefits is 500–1000 mg per day.
We sent our cacao to Eurofins — an independent food safety lab — to find out exactly what's in our cup.
Result: 563 mg of flavanols per serving.
One cup. Right in the recommended range. Not a supplement. Not a powder pretending to be something it's not. Just real, single-origin ceremonial cacao with the math to back it up.
The benefits are real. The numbers are tested. The cup tastes incredible.
Pour the real thing 🤎

Happy Thanksgiving! We're Grateful For You!

With fall wrapping up and the harvests in, we're excited to get together with friends, family & loved ones to celebrate this Thanksgiving. We love the feeling of abundance after all the work of growing food comes to a close, and what better way to give thanks than to break bread together!

It has always been clear to us that our customers are the most important part of our family business. From day one, exceeding expectations has always been our goal, as we know our business relies entirely on each one of you. For most of our history, it was primarily word-of-mouth that helped us grow.

So we want to share our BIG GRATITUDE for each and every one of you, for making this work possible, and supporting us over all these years. It's a pleasure to be able to share our love of cacao with you, and to know that together, we're growing something more heart-centered and soul-nourishing.

For those wondering about Black Friday, our focus has always been on keeping our prices affordable every day. Instead of running big sales and making that up with higher regular prices, we just keep ours consistent all year long. So you can kick back and relax during the shopping frenzy, knowing that our affordable pricing will still be here.

We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of abundance, joy, and loved ones!

From our hearts to yours
~ Moses & Ambe
