About Ceremonial Cacao
How ceremonial cacao is affecting you
Indigenous origin
Ceremonial cacao is originated from indigenous peoples of Central and South America, including the Mayans and Aztecs, who used cacao in rituals and celebrations.
Our cacao is descended from Mayan lineages and Peruvian cacao farmers.
DaliLeo cacao comes from the ancient bean investigator Laurent.
Pataxte cacao comes from the lineage of the ancient fire-keeper family of Nana Rosalía.
The word "cacao" comes from the Olmec and Mayan word cacaw. They used cacao in a wide variety of recipes, from holy drinks to energizing breakfasts.
Chocolātl in Nahuatl, the language spoken by the Aztecs, means "bitter water" or "bitter drink".
The official Latin name for the cacao tree is Theobroma Cacao, which translates literally as'food of the gods'.
Spiritual purpose
Ceremonial cacao is often used in meditations and rituals to help people deepen their inner world and open their heart energy.
Raw and unprocessed
Ceremonial cacao is a raw material that has been minimally processed, preserving its natural richness in nutrients and active compounds.
Our cacaos are sourced from the purest areas of Guatemala and Peru and have passed laboratory tests for heavy metals and soil quality.
Theobromine
Ceremonial cacao contains high levels of theobromine, a natural stimulant that provides energy without the jitteriness caused by caffeine.
Also, according to nutritionist David Wolfe, cacao is the most vital food on the planet - so you get the biggest energy boost possible when you eat or drink it!
Our cacao is low in caffeine and high in theobromine.
Did you know that the quality of ceremonial cacao varies widely on the market!
Rich in magnesium
Cacao is rich in magnesium, which helps relax muscles and supports the nervous system.
A symbol of love and joy
Many cultures believe that cacao helps to open the heart and increase feelings of love and joy, which is why it is often used in togetherness and community rituals such as weddings and celebrations.
Organic and environmentally friendly
Authentic ceremonial cacao is often organic and grown in small quantities to preserve the integrity of the environment and respect traditional methods.
Our cacaos all come from small farmers who produce real cacao, not the hybrid varieties commonly found on the market.
Handicrafts
Ceremonial cacao is produced in the traditional way, where the beans are roasted and grounded by hand to preserve their quality and energizing properties.
The more harmoniously and machine-free the cacao is produced, the more perfect its cacao crystal is at the molecular level when viewed in the laboratory.
Emotional healing
cacao ceremonies are often used in emotional healing processes, as it helps to unlock and release deeply held emotions.
We also organise annual experience trips to Guatemala - where we take you to the Mayan lineage holders for a real cacao ceremony, where you can experience the deeply healing value of this drink and knowledge space!
Social experience
cacao ceremonies often take place in groups, creating a strong sense of community and connecting participants on a deep and meaningful level.
