                                Raw cacao powder naturally contains caffeine, with approximately 12 milligrams per tablespoon, which is significantly lower than a cup of coffee but still present. For those seeking a chocolate fix without the stimulating effects, a common question arises: Is there decaf cacao? The answer is nuanced, as true decaf cacao is rare, but low-caffeine cocoa powder is a viable and nutritious option.
