FOCUS – 92% Ceremonial Cacao with Lion's Mane, Cordyceps and Spices – KAICAO 200 g
Product detailed description
FOCUS by KAICAO is a mix for making hot cacao. The base is 92 % ceremonial cacao from the Hacienda Limón estate in Ecuador, to which the maker adds lion's mane powder, cordyceps, ginger and cardamom. No sugar, no flavourings, no fillers.
The beans are lightly roasted, stone ground for two days and then matured for two months. The result is a full-fat cacao with a thick body and a bitter, spiced taste that ginger and cardamom round into a warming profile. Cacao was prepared as a ceremonial drink in Mesoamerica for centuries, and KAICAO follows that preparation.
One serving is 20 g, which makes a proper mug. It suits the morning in place of coffee, or the afternoon when you want a break without another espresso. The 200 g pack lasts ten servings.

KAICAO: stone-ground ceremonial cacao
KAICAO is the brand of Madrid chocolatier Ida Talmore, who works bean-to-bar: from choosing the beans on a specific plantation to the finished product in one workshop. KAICAO ceremonial cacao is a full-fat cacao powder made from lightly roasted beans that are stone-ground for two days and then aged for two months. The result is earthy with a light floral note, and it is prepared as a thick hot drink rather than the sweet cocoa of childhood.
The beans come from a single Ecuadorian plantation, Hacienda Limón; the MEXICAN variety uses washed Lavado beans from Tabasco in Mexico. Nothing is sweetened with sugar and no emulsifiers or lecithin are added.
