THE BENEFITS OF CACAO

Ceremonial-grade cacao, is 100% pure cacao bean (Aztec Cacao is a paste) that contains substantially higher levels of medicinal and mood-improving benefits unlike powder cacao.

Ceremonial-grade cacao is not altered, which means it retains all of its inherent health benefits.

Unlike coffee, ceremonial cacao focuses on enhancing mindfulness, promoting emotional connection, and nurturing a deep sense of well-being.

Ceremonial cacao isn't just a beverage; it's a soulful journey.

Unlike coffee's fleeting jolt, ceremonial cacao gently uplifts your spirit, leaving you feeling grounded and centered throughout the day.

Additionally, replacing your 1st cup of coffee for an alternative offers a gentler energy lift, promoting mental clarity and relaxation without the jittery side effects.

You'll experience a harmonious balance of vitality and relaxation, without the overstimulation that sometimes accompanies coffee consumption.

The word “Cacao” refers to the unrefined bean that is harvested from the fruit of the Theobroma Cacao tree.

Single Origin Criollo Cacao

• “Criollo” is a specific type of heirloom cacao—one of the oldest and most delicate varieties
• “Single origin” means the cacao comes from one specific region or farm, not mixed with beans from other places
• This preserves flavour uniqueness—like wine or coffee, the terroir (soil, climate, farming practices) influences the taste
• Criollo single origin cacao is prized for being low in bitterness and incredibly smooth—often with fruity or floral notes
