Preparing our cacao is simple and versatile!

Option 1: Stovetop Method

1. Heat your choice of milk in a pot on the stovetop.
2. Stir continuously until the milk reaches boiling point, then remove from heat.
3. Let it sit while you prepare any sweetness or additives you’d like.
4. Pour and enjoy!

Important Tip: Allowing the cacao to hit boiling point is essential for the fats to separate and create the creamy consistency we all adore.

Option 2: Blender Method

1. Add boiled water or milk to a smoothie blender.
2. Toss in your desired sweetness or additives.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Make your cacao as unique as you are by experimenting with add-ins to suit your mood or taste:

• For sweetness: Dates, honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
• For spice: Cinnamon, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, or even cardamom.
• For richness: Coconut oil, cacao butter, or a dash of vanilla extract.
• For a health boost: Maca powder, ashwagandha, or a sprinkle of turmeric.
• For indulgence: A piece of dark chocolate or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.

Let your creativity flow and turn your cacao ritual into a moment of personalized magic!

Ceremonial cacao is a pure, minimally processed form of cacao made from heirloom strains native to Central and South America. It’s considered sacred in many indigenous traditions and has been used for centuries in ceremonies to foster connection, mindfulness, and spiritual awareness.

Key Differences Between Ceremonial Cacao and Regular Cocoa/Chocolate:

• Purity: Ceremonial cacao is made from whole cacao beans, including the natural fats (cacao butter), which are essential for its creamy texture and health benefits. Regular cocoa often has the fats removed and undergoes heavy processing.
• Processing: Ceremonial cacao is minimally processed, preserving its natural compounds, antioxidants, and nutrients. In contrast, regular cocoa is highly processed and often includes additives like sugar, dairy, and artificial flavors.
• Intention: Ceremonial cacao is crafted with care and intention, often sourced sustainably from small farms. It’s not just a product but a tool for ritual and connection, designed to be consumed mindfully.
• Usage: While regular cocoa is often used in baking or sugary treats, ceremonial cacao is typically prepared as a nourishing drink, either plain or with natural additives, to experience its full benefits.

By choosing ceremonial cacao, you’re not only embracing a delicious, nourishing ritual but also honoring a tradition steeped in history, culture, and connection.

No, the medicinal mushrooms in our blends, such as Reishi, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, and Chaga, are completely non-psychoactive. These mushrooms are adaptogens and functional superfoods, known for their health benefits like boosting focus, calming the nervous system, and supporting overall well-being.

Unlike psychedelic mushrooms, which contain psilocybin, the mushrooms we use are safe for daily consumption and won’t cause any hallucinations or altered states of consciousness. They’re all about nourishing your body and mind, not taking you on a trip!
