Preparing our Organic Ceremonial Grade Cacao in grams is a precise and intentional process. Here are the instructions to help you create a transformative ceremonial cacao experience:

1. Begin by selecting a peaceful and sacred space where you can fully immerse yourself in the ceremony.

3. Heat water or plant-based milk in a saucepan. Avoid boiling it, as high temperatures can affect the delicate flavours of the cacao. Aim for a warm and soothing temperature.

4. Add the measured cacao to the warm liquid and stir gently. Allow the cacao to melt and blend harmoniously.

5. While stirring, infuse your intentions, prayers, or affirmations into the cacao. This is an opportunity to connect with the sacred energy of the cacao and set the tone for your ceremony.

7. Once the cacao is fully blended, transfer it to your preferred ceremonial cup or mug. Take a moment to appreciate the rich colour and enchanting aroma emanating from your elixir.

8. Find a comfortable seated position, holding the cup close to your heart. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself and express gratitude for the cacao and the transformative journey ahead.

9.Slowly sip the cacao, allowing its velvety texture and exquisite flavours to envelop your senses. Take your time and be fully present, savouring each sip as it nourishes your body, mind, and spirit.

10. Throughout the ceremony, embrace stillness, meditation, or any other practices that resonate with you. Listen to the whispers of your soul, embracing the insights and wisdom that arise.

11. After the ceremony, take a moment to reflect on your experience. Journaling or simply sitting in quiet contemplation can help integrate the gifts and lessons received during the ceremonial cacao journey.

Trust your intuition, honour the sacredness of the moment, and allow the organic ceremonial grade cacao to guide you on this profound path of self-discovery and connection.

History and Origins of Cacao

Cacao (Theobroma) was first harvested by the Olmecs in Mexico as early as 1000 B.C. At that time it was mainly used for fortifying drinks. Over the years, the Mayas and the Aztecs adopted this use in their cultures. Cocoa became part of ceremonial rituals and cocoa beans were a means of payment. In the 16th century, the Spanish brought cocoa to Europe.

In the mid-17th century, it became a popular drink. Cocoa trees were introduced to Asia and West Africa through colonies of various European countries, as there was a rising demand for chocolate in Europe.

The cocoa bean is the raw material used in the production of chocolate. These cocoa beans originate from the tropical climates of South America. The Theobroma cacao tree is sacred to the Mayans and Aztecs. The cacao beans from the tree are harvested by hand and the raw beans are then cleaned in natural water and selected for the best quality. This process ensures that the nutritional values are retained, without any additives.

Our Raw Cacao comes from the Ucayali region of Peru. The cocoa is harvested there by smallholders with whom we work in the Ucayali region in the Peruvian jungle. There, a sustainable production team provides free technical assistance to farmers to improve their yield per hectare, follow organic farming principles and give farmers the general guidance they need. The team also provides logistical support by collecting the product from the farmers, who are often in very remote areas, and sending it to our production facility.
Cocoa paste

Cocoa trees produce pods, these pods contain 20 to 40 beans. The cocoa beans are fermented using a special process that prevents the temperature from exceeding 40 degrees during fermentation. Then the cacao beans are dried in the sun until there is only 3% moisture left in the beans. Finally, the beans are peeled and shredded and then cocoa nibs, cocoa paste, cocoa butter or cocoa powder are made from them.
