WHOLESALE WITH CACAO CO. - A SHARED RITUAL. A CONSCIOUS PARTNERSHIP.
Invitation to build a shared story
Cacao Co. is a Brighton-based collective built on community, conscious living, and the heart lifting power of ceremonial cacao in its raw and unrefined form.
We partner with cafés, yoga studios, wellness spaces, retailers and hospitality venues who believe what we consume can re-connect us to our inner well - being.
Our mission is to create a community for cacao lovers, promoting kinship, grounding and rekindling our relationship to the earth.
Wholesale with us is not simply a supply agreement - it is an invitation to build a shared story rooted in science, heritage, and accessible wellbeing.
Why partner with cacao co. ?
Our organic certified cacao is single origin, and minimally processed, preserving its natural potency and purity. The taste of our cacao will be distinctive and incredibly delicious. Rich in antioxidants, magnesium, potassium and iron, to name just a few, it offers a gentle, sustained lift from theobromine — energising without the crash of coffee. Taste and feel it for yourself; order a complimentary sample and experience the grounding and balancing effects for yourself.
For your customers, cacao becomes a mindful alternative to coffee — a ritual companion to workouts, runs, yoga or slow mornings with a journal. For your business, it offers strong margins across multiple formats, compelling storytelling and access to a fast-growing, values-led wellbeing category rooted in connection and conscious living.
Cultural Heritage & Ethical Sourcing
Our cacao begins in Peru, ethically sourced from smallholder farms and trusted cooperatives rooted in fairness and care. We work directly with partners committed to fair wages, organic certification, reforestation and community development — ensuring every harvest supports both land and livelihood.
Ceremonial cacao goes beyond purity and flavour. It is woven through the entire cultivation journey, from seed to fermentation, shaped by reciprocity and respect for people and planet.
Today’s customers want to know:
- Where is this from?
- Who grew it?
- What does it stand for?
With Cacao Co., you can answer with confidence, clarity and integrity.
Training & Education For Your Team
We believe cacao should be served with confidence, care and understanding of the culture and peoples who are sharing this sacred plant. For many of your customers, this may be their first encounter with organic ceremonial cacao — and first impressions matter.
At the heart of Cacao Co., we are committed to honouring the history and traditions of cacao. We approach this journey with curiosity, respect and integrity, and we invite you to learn and share alongside us as we deepen our understanding together.
We see the stories and education as a shared ritual. Together, we can help your community experience cacao not just as a drink, but as a moment of connection.
Our barista and team training covers what makes cacao ceremonial, the health benefits explained through accessible science, and the difference between caffeine and cacao’s gentle theobromine lift. We guide you through dosing (10–25g), preparation techniques, whisking and heating, and flavour pairings that elevate each cup.
We offer in-person training in Brighton, virtual sessions across the UK, printed preparation guides, retail talking points and clear FAQ sheets for front-of-house.
Your team won’t just serve cacao — they’ll share its story.
Equipment & Preparation Support
Organic ceremonial cacao asks for a slightly different rhythm than coffee. It’s less about speed, more about intention — but that doesn’t mean it can’t flow beautifully within a busy service.
We guide our partners through practical preparation techniques, from traditional whisking methods to milk steaming suggested practice (always gently heated, never boiled). We support batch preparation for smoother service and advise on dosing adjustments for takeaway cups versus slower, more ritual-style servings.
We recommend simple, accessible tools: a traditional whisk or electric frother for a silky finish, barista milk jug or milk pan for controlled heating, and airtight storage containers kept in a cool, dry space to preserve freshness and potency.
Our goal is to make cacao feel effortless within your existing food and beverage setup — seamlessly integrated, confidently served, and consistently delicious. With the right guidance, cacao becomes not a complication, but a beautiful extension of what you already do well.
Who we partner with
We work with spaces that believe drinks can do more than energise — they offer a holistic and embodied sense of well-being.
Our partners include yoga studios and wellness spaces, independent cafés, conscious retailers, community-led venues, retreat hosts, and festival or pop-up organisers. Whether you serve a post-practice cup, a slow Sunday ritual, or a mindful alternative to coffee on your menu, cacao has a natural home in your offering.
We align best with partners who share our values: a deep respect for cacao’s cultural heritage, a community-first mindset, and a genuine commitment to accessible wellbeing.
If you care about where your products come from, how they’re served, and the experience they create, we’ll work beautifully together — building something rooted in integrity, connection and shared purpose.
Community & Events
Community sits at the heart of Cacao Co. We actively work alongside local charities and communities, and collaborate with grassroots groups such as our monthly sea swim club. We’ve discovered that people are searching for meaningful ways to open up, slow down and connect — and cacao offers a healthy, gentle and accessible bridge to do exactly that.
For us, cacao is more than a drink. It is a shared and intentional moment that creates space for conversation, reflection and kinship.
We host and collaborate on cacao ceremonies, yoga and meditation gatherings, swim-and-cacao sessions, educational talks and community tastings. We also continue to support and engage with local charitable initiatives.
If you’re looking to engage or grow a new community within your space, we can provide the guidance and resources to help you do so. Beyond flavour, it’s connection that truly sets us apart.

Retail & Merchandising Support
We’ve created a comprehensive Retailer Toolkit — built with retailers, for retailers — designed to make onboarding smooth and effortless . From first delivery to first sale, we guide you through introducing cacao to both your team and your customers.
You’ll receive clear retailer language guidance, customisable point-of-sale materials that can sit comfortably alongside your branding, and ideal customer profiles to support confident, natural selling. We also provide in-store education sheets to help answer common questions and deepen customer understanding.
Beyond the shelf, we offer social media collaboration opportunities and co-hosted cacao events to bring the ritual to life in your space.
We proudly champion our wholesale partners across our marketing channels, including Instagram and email — building shared visibility, shared storytelling and a growing community rooted in connection, not competition.
