Cacao Ritual
Real cacao is one of the oldest drinks in the world, and it is still drunk the same way: slowly. In this category you will find ceremonial cacao in 92 to 100% variants, pure 100% cacao powder and blends that pair cacao with functional mushrooms such as reishi, lion's mane or cordyceps, or with collagen.
Ceremonial cacao is made from whole cacao beans and keeps its natural share of cacao butter. You prepare it by melting it in hot water or milk and whisking it into a thick, full-bodied drink.
Whether you make it in the morning or in the evening, cacao is a drink that makes you stop for a moment.

Cacao FAQ
What is ceremonial cacao?
Minimally processed cacao made from whole cacao beans, ground into a paste and pressed into blocks. Unlike regular powder, it keeps its natural share of cacao butter. It is traditionally used in cacao rituals in Central and South America.
How do you prepare ceremonial cacao?
Break or grate it into a mug, pour over hot but not boiling water or milk, and whisk thoroughly. You will find the recommended amount on each product's packaging.
How is it different from regular cocoa powder?
Regular cocoa powder is usually defatted and often alkalized. Ceremonial cacao goes through only minimal processing, so it has a fuller taste and a thicker texture.
Does cacao contain caffeine?
Cacao naturally contains theobromine and a smaller amount of caffeine.
What are cacao blends with functional mushrooms?
Ceremonial cacao complemented with reishi, lion's mane or cordyceps, or with spices. You will find the exact composition and ratios on each product.
How should cacao be stored?
Well sealed, in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight.
