Frequently asked questions
What exactly is cacao?
Put simply, cacao is the core ingredient of what we now know as chocolate. Cacao beans are harvested from the cacao fruit and turned into various products, pastes and powders. Our cacao is minimally processed into a block, which we hand-grind to enjoy as a hot drink.
How is cacao different from regular hot chocolate?
Hot chocolate is typically made with ultra-processed cocoa powder, sugars and additives.
Because cacao is pure, it has a richer chocolate taste and naturally contains minerals and antioxidants like magnesium and iron. You can control what you add to it.
Can I drink cacao any time of day?
Yes. Among other things, cacao contains theobromine (a mild stimulant) and a small amount of caffeine - most people can enjoy it in the morning or afternoon. If you’re very sensitive to stimulants, a lower dose is recommended.
Is cacao just for spiritual ceremonies or health-focussed people?
Some people add rituals or use it for its superfood properties but you can just enjoy it as is, however you like. There are no strict rules to follow.
Can I drink cacao before exercising?
Yes. Its gentle stimulant effect can give you a natural lift without the jitters of strong coffee or energy drinks.
