Why Cacao?
Discover the Magic of Ceremonial Grade Cacao
More than just chocolate, ceremonial grade cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine with ancient roots and modern-day benefits.
What is it?
Ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed cacao paste made from heirloom strains of cacao beans (criollo, trinitario, et al.) It has not been stripped of its fat content (such as cacao powder) and is rich in potent minerals (such as iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, copper, sulfur, manganese, selenium, etc) and polyphenol antioxidants (flavonols.)
Unlike commercial chocolate, it's not diluted with sugars, milk, or fillers — it's the purest form of cacao available on the market, prepared with reverence for its medicinal, spiritual and energetic properties.
Where does it come from?
Traditionally used by the Maya, Aztec, and other Mesoamerican cultures, ceremonial cacao is sustainably sourced from small farms that honor the plant's sacred history. Beans are fermented naturally and stone-ground into a paste and maintaining their rich nutritional and energetic integrity.
Why is it special?
This cacao grade isn’t just a treat — it’s a tool for transformation. Rich in theobromine ("food of the gods"), magnesium, antioxidants, and mood-boosting compounds, ceremonial cacao supports:
Heart health
Emotional clarity and focus
Cognitive health
Deepened spiritual connection
How do you use it?
Prepare a warm drink by gently melting the cacao with water or plant milk. Add cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne, or a natural sweetener if desired. Sip slowly with intention — whether alone or in a group ceremony.
Not just a trend... a return to tradition.
As we seek deeper connection in our fast-paced world, ceremonial cacao invites us to slow down, drop into our hearts, and remember the wisdom of the Earth.
Whether you're seeking spiritual insight, emotional healing, or just a more meaningful morning ritual, ceremonial cacao can be your gentle guide.
