CEREMONIAL CACAO

For Ceremonies, for gatherings, for brunches, for rituals, for connecting deeper with your SELF and your HEART. Cacao is seen as a plant medicine because of the essence of the plant and its nutritional qualities, which bring healing & feelings of wellness, vitality & wholeness.

 

The purest, highest grade, ceremonial cacao sourced from family farmers in Guatemala, with deep-rooted practices of reciprocal land stewardship. These farmers have been practicing organic farming and permaculture principles before it was certifiable. So this Cacao is uncertifiably organic AF, and we couldn’t be more honored to work with these fine humans.

Farm to Ceremony Cacao.

From the farm where the cacao plants are grown and the beans are sun-dried and fermented, to the local women’s collective where the beans get fire-toasted, hand-peeled and pressed into a fine paste, and finally to you and your ceremony. Our partners are part of every step and have personal relationships with everyone involved. This is “farm to ceremony” Cacao.

Heart, Mind & Soul … much more than an Superfood

  • Ceremonial grade Cacao is loaded with antioxidants that boost your immune system. It has one of the highest ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) scores which is used to measure antioxidant levels in food. Cacao is one of the best plant sources of magnesium, which supports the heart, aids digestion, balances brain chemistry, and builds strong bones.

  • Cacao has Anandamide, which gives a general sense of bliss and happiness. Cacao stimulates the release of Serotonin, Phenylethylamine, and Dopamine, all of which help us to feel more optimistic and peaceful. All of these combined provide us with an overall sense of well being while providing gentle, natural, long-lasting energy.

  • Cacao contains Theobromine, which differs from caffeine, in that its stimulant effects are milder and longer-lasting. It is a known vasodilator (a blood vessel widener) enhancing blood flow and oxygenation to the brain, providing a short-term boost in brain function. Theobromine may widen the body’s airways and relax smooth muscle tissue throughout the body, including the smooth muscle tissue found in the lungs. This, in turn, increases airflow to the lungs, supporting a healthy respiratory system.
