Dont worry! Drinking ceremonial cacao is not going to alter your consciousness. You will simply feel a natural state of calm, energy and good mood thanks to anandamide and theobromine.

YES! Our cacao is almost raw, slightly toasted or sun dried. It has an ORAC score of 95,000 per 100 grams. Regular cocoa is at 20,000 and blueberries just 4000! A ceremonial dose of our cacao is 50 grams, giving you 47,500 ORAC units from just one cup! That is ten times the minimum recommended dose.

Did you know that the Mayans thought cacao was literally food for the gods? It's true! And it's not hard to see why. Cacao has been used in all sorts of rituals and remedies throughout history, but its real claim to fame is theobromine - a natural stimulant that gives us a smooth and steady energy boost, no jitters or brain fog required! Plus, cacao is loaded with all sorts of essential minerals and mood-enhancing compounds like dopamine, serotonin, anandamide (aka the "bliss molecule"), and P.E.A. (the "love drug"). So basically, cacao is like a delicious, all-natural happiness pill that the gods themselves would totally approve of!

Simply melt your desired amount (20-30g for daily dose or 50g for ceremonial dose) into saucepan, stir and melt on medium heat with your favorite milk. We recommend oat milk or almond, although adding cows milk makes for a delicious healthy treat. See our preparation guide for more recipes.

Listen up choco-fans, here's the deal: cacao powder is like the instant coffee of the cocoa world, a total wannabe trying to imitate the real deal.Now, let's talk about the authentic stuff - our cacao paste. We're talking hand-picked fruits from the magical theobroma cacao tree, fermented to perfection, sun-dried and roasted with care. Then, we grind it up into a deliciously smooth paste, chop it up into chunks and share the love with you!But beware the impostor - cacao powder (or cocoa powder, if you prefer). This poser has been through an intense process to extract the cacao butter, leaving it dull and tasteless. Plus, it lacks the vital fats needed to transmit all those feel-good chemicals to your brain. And don't even get us started on the so-called "dutch-processing" that sucks out all the health benefits. Stick with the real deal, friends, and enjoy the pure, unadulterated joy of cacao paste - ceremonial cacao.

Cacao is like that chill, laid-back friend who's always there for you. Coffee, on the other hand, is like a wild party animal that burns out too quickly.Caffeine, the active ingredient in coffee, can cause jitters and anxiety by producing cortisol - the stress hormone. Meanwhile, cacao's theobromine helps us relax by reducing cortisol.But wait, there's more! Cacao also stimulates our cardiovascular system, improving blood flow, oxygenation, and reducing blood pressure. So, next time you need a little boost, ditch the java and reach for some delicious cacao instead. Your body (and taste buds) will thank you!
