1. Unpack your Cacao with love and heart. 2. Touch it, smell it, feel its power. 3. Grind the Cacao with love and intention (you can use a coffee grinder or blender) or crush it into small pieces. 4. Use a pot or Thermomix. 5. Add milk (we recommend plant-based milks), a little honey, chilli, almonds, banana, or any other spices according to what your body tells you. 6. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. 7. Do not cook Cacao on a "high" heat! 8. After about 10 minutes, sit back and enjoy the love that Cacao brings. 9. The intention is more important than the process itself.

With full respect to this plant and the way it is created by the tribes, let us give you, with this pure energy, exactly such pieces as are delivered to the shop, in order to retain the full energy and intentions of those who prepared this wonderful Cacao for you.

Of course! We recommend drinking Cacao every day instead of coffee because of its composition. If you drink Ceremonial Cacao you use 45-80g of Cacao per cup. For daily drinking we recommend 15-35g.

Ceremonial Cacao is typically made from raw Cacao beans that have not been roasted or processed with high heat. This is done to preserve the nutritional benefits and natural flavours of the Cacao. Excessive heat can damage Ceremonial Cacao, causing it to lose some of its nutritional content, aroma, and flavour. If natural Cacao is heated above 65°C, it can start to lose some of its beneficial antioxidants and enzymes, just like regular Cacao. Therefore, it's important to use a low-temperature process when making Ceremonial Cacao to ensure that the Cacao is not exposed to high heat. This can include using a gentle grinder or blender to process the Cacao, or melting it at a low temperature to create a ceremonial drink. It's worth noting that some Ceremonial Cacao makers may choose to roast their Cacao beans at low temperatures to bring out the flavours and aromas of the beans while still preserving their nutritional benefits. However, this is not always the case, and some Ceremonial Cacao may be completely raw and unheated.

Cacao's heart-opening properties are often attributed to its high levels of theobromine, a mild stimulant that's believed to temporarily boost mood. Most ceremonies also include at least one more modality that helps bring participants into an altered state - meditation, sound baths, dance, singing and many others.

Unlike coffee, which contains a high-concentration of caffeine that stimulates the nervous system, which can give you an alert and jittery “buzz”. Ceremonial Cacao contains an abundance of theobromine that stimulates the cardiovascular system giving you the feeling of a warm and uplifting “whisper”.
