Connection and Heart-Opening Our cacao is more than just a drink; it's an invitation to connect. It supports grounding and meditation, and helps open your heart. Whether you're reflecting on your own life or sharing moments with loved ones and the community, our cacao nurtures deep connections and gratitude. Plus, it is infused with plant wisdom, acting as a medicine for the soul.

Rich Texture and Complex Flavors Experience the creamy, silky texture and rich, smooth, and complex flavor that sets our cacao apart from other 100% dark chocolates or baking chocolate produced from commodity cocoa. Our cacao contains crucial fats that are not found in cocoa powder or brewed cacao, ensuring a superior taste and experience.

Ethical and Direct Trade We are committed to ethical and direct trade practices. Our cacao is sourced from small family farms practicing regenerative, organic certified agroforestry. Our small team travels to each farm, establishing reciprocal, long-term relationships that benefit all parties involved. This results in premiums prices for the farmers and premium quality organic cacao that is lab-tested, heavy metal free, and traceable.

Healthy Alternative to Coffee Ceremonial cacao provides gentle, sustained energy. Each serving contains 212mg of Theobromine, a primary stimulant in cacao, which stimulates the heart and relaxes blood vessels. This can lead to a 30-40% increase in blood circulation. It’s a healthy alternative to coffee, rich in key minerals and nutrients like magnesium, chromium, copper, calcium, manganese, zinc, sulfur, and iron. Additionally, it is sugar-free and diabetic-friendly.

Mood Enhancement Ceremonial cacao is rich in beneficial neurotransmitters and neuro-modulators that naturally occur in the brain. These components block the pathways that typically break down mood-altering molecules, ensuring the good mood lasts longer. Over time, regular consumption can support therapeutic health benefits by creating new neural pathways that increase joy, love, and connection.

Whole Food Superiority Unlike cocoa powder, which is made from lower quality cacao beans and highly processed to remove cocoa butter, our cacao is made from premium whole cacao beans with minimal processing. This ensures that you receive the full health benefits of cacao, including its essential fats and carrier mechanisms for delivering those benefits. Brewed cacao, on the other hand, is made from water run through cacao nibs, resulting in a watery drink that misses out on the complete effects. With ceremonial cacao, you get the optimum health benefits from the whole bean.
