- Gold Standard Ceremonial Cacao. Boost your mood, elevate your energy, live with gratitude, set intentions for your life. An invitation for connection with your own heart, with your loved ones, your community, and with plants as medicine. Supports grounding, meditation, & heart-opening. Creamy, silky texture with a rich, smooth, & complex flavor. No sugar added.
- Ethical and Direct Trade. We buy from small family farms practicing regenerative, organic agroforestry. Our small team travels to each of the cacao communities that we source from to establish reciprocal, long-term relationships that result in thriving for all. Our social impact model pays farmers some of the highest prices for cacao in each country that we source from, and produces premium quality organic cacao.
- Healthy Alternative to Coffee. Provides gentle, sustained energy – no more jitters or crashes. Contains 212mg of Theobromine, the primary stimulant in cacao, which stimulates the heart and relaxes blood vessels and supports the cardiovascular system by producing an effect of 30-40% higher blood circulation. High in key minerals and nutrients like magnesium, chromium, copper, calcium, manganese, zinc, sulfur, and iron.
- Beneficial for Mood. Pure cacao contains beneficial neurotransmitters and neuro-modulators already present in our brain. It also contains reuptake inhibitors that block the pathways that our bodies normally use to break down and recycle these beneficial mood altering molecules, so the good mood lasts for longer. In the long term, cacao can have therapeutic health benefits, including creating new neural pathways that change our daily experience to include more joy, love, and connection.
- A Whole Food. Ceremonial cacao is made from premium whole cacao beans with nothing added or removed and minimal processing. Cocoa powder, in contrast, is made from the lowest quality cacao beans, and highly processed to separate the cocoa butter, losing the essential fat based carrier mechanism for delivering the health benefits of cacao. Our ceremonial cacao uses the whole bean to deliver optimum health benefits and maintain the integrity of the spirit of cacao.
