They grew cacao here more than six hundred years before colonization; the tradition faded when they lost their ancestral land and has returned since that territory was recognized as a living being under federal protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia — Arhuaco growers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCacao content\u003c\/strong\u003e – 100%, whole bean, soothing and earthy in the cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer serving\u003c\/strong\u003e – 25 discs (23 g) — 150 calories, 0 g sugar, 4 g fiber, 52 mg magnesium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStimulants\u003c\/strong\u003e – About 212 mg theobromine and roughly 30 mg naturally occurring caffeine per cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e – USDA Organic, vegan, keto, soy-free, GMO-free, lab tested for heavy metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e – 1\/2 lb, 1 lb, 5 lb, and 1 oz single-serve boxes of 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e – Ships within 3 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeigh or chop 23 g — about 25 discs — and melt it into 6–8 oz of hot, not boiling, water.

Thirty seconds with a hand frother or a small whisk is the difference between a smooth, emulsified cup and a gritty one.
