Ingredients

100% Peruvian Criollo ceremonial cacao (Theobroma cacao).

Origin & Historical Use

Our Peruvian ceremonial cacao is made from Criollo beans sourced from Peru, a region with a long relationship with cacao cultivation and traditional preparation.

Ancient cacao traditions: Cacao has been valued across Central and South America for more than 3,000 years and was revered by Maya and Aztec cultures.

Sacred ceremonial use: Cacao was prepared in ritual drinks, offerings and spiritual ceremonies, and valued for nourishment, grounding and connection.

Traditional preparation: Whole cacao beans were fermented, dried, stone-ground and brewed into thick ceremonial drinks.

Criollo cacao is considered one of the oldest and most prized cacao varieties. It has traditionally been associated with ceremonial use and intentional practices supporting grounding, clarity and heart-centred presence.

Frequently asked questions

We believe in being open about everything we make. Below are honest answers to the questions we get asked most about our ingredients, sourcing, testing and how to get the best from your routine.

What is Ceremonial Cacao?

Ceremonial Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is a tropical plant from Central and South America. It is recognised for its rich flavour, mood-boosting compounds, and its traditional use in spiritual and wellness practices.

Are your products third party lab tested?

Absolutely! We test all our products in third-party labs to make sure they meet the highest standards for quality, purity, and safety. These independent tests confirm the strength of active ingredients and ensure that our products are free from contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes.

Is your Cacao ethically sourced?

The cacao is sourced from small, family-run farms across Venezuela, Peru and Ghana where farmers follow traditional, sustainable methods of cultivation. 

How do I take it?

Chop or grate 10-15g of Cacao into warm water or milk, whisk until smooth and blend if required. Sweeten to taste and enjoy. 

Is it safe to take long term?

Yes, Cacao is considered safe for ongoing use. It should be consumed in moderate amounts and has natural compounds like theobromine, antioxidants, and magnesium that may help with mood, energy, and heart health.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before consuming, as it contains functional herbs and mushrooms.

Can I take Cacao with coffee or other mushrooms?

Yes! Many mix it with coffee or other functional mushrooms. Pairs well with Morning Magic to create a Mocha-style drink.

How should I store it?

Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed. Keep away from heat, light, and moisture for best freshness.

How do I choose the best ceremonial cacao?


Choosing the right cacao depends on factors such as origin, processing, cacao quality, flavour and testing. We’ve compared some of the leading options in our best ceremonial cacao UK guide.
