Traditional use and composition
Theobroma cacao, the cacao tree, is grown for its seeds, the raw material of chocolate. Chemical residues found in pottery from Puerto Escondido, Honduras, show that cacao beverages were being made there before 1000 BC (Henderson et al. 2007). At Colha, Belize, the Preclassic Maya used cacao as early as 600 BC (Hurst et al. 2002).
Among the Olmec, the Maya and the Mexica, cacao had ritual and medicinal uses; the word “cacao” comes from Olmec and Mayan kakaw (Dillinger et al. 2000). The seeds contain methylxanthines, theobromine and caffeine, and flavanols such as epicatechin.

Theobroma cacao: name and native range
Linnaeus named Theobroma cacao in Species Plantarum in 1753, and GBIF places the accepted species in the family Malvaceae. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants includes Colombia in its native range, together with northern Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela; in many other tropical countries it is recorded as introduced. Brazil’s official flora list describes it as a tree, and GBIF records the English names cacao, cocoa and chocolate tree.
Cacao in other forms
The shop also sells cacao as a solid product: the Putumayo cacao from Colombia is a 450 g seed bar from the same supplier, and the Ceremonial Cacao category lists further blocks, powders and blends by weight. In the same 10 ml bottle size, the supplier’s cacao and blue lotus extract adds blue lotus, according to its name.
Storing your botanicals
Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.
Before using a plant
- Keep plants out of the reach of children and pets.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist first: many plants interact with medicines.
- Stop immediately if you have an allergic reaction or feel unwell.
