We encourage customers to taste and work with KAKAO intimately before ordering a bulk bag, ie. using our 1lb or sample sizes. Please refer to our Return Policy here. 

KAKAO is a high-vibe, ceremonial-grade drinking chocolate made from whole cacao beans. Our cacao is sourced from Peru in the native strain called 'Chuncho' via direct trade.

A large part of KAKAO's non-profit mission is to help protect the native strains of cacao and the communities which cultivate them.

Ingredients & Nutrition

Ingredients:

• 100% Whole cacao beans (stone-ground into a paste and then chopped for your convenience)

All of our ingredients are directly sourced in Peru from small, wild farms that are natively owned.

KAKAO is not sold as a block. But rest assured, this is Cacao Paste that you're looking for. If KAKAO was left in the sun, it would melt and return to its original block form, which we simply chopped in a food processor for your convenience! In non-summer months, it will arrive to your doorstep as a granular product that you can scoop easily with a tablespoon.

Preparation

Ceremonial Dose Recipe using PURE KAKAO:

• 8oz hot water
• 3-4 TBSP (28-40 grams) of Pure Cacao (please start gently)
• Sweetener of choice: honey/coconut sugar/maple syrup (our favorite is Panela)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Dash cayenne pepper or cinnamon
• Optional: Maca powder

Blend all ingredients in a blender safe for hot liquids, for a smooth & frothy drink! 

If you don't have a blender that is safe for hot liquids, you can use a whisk. Please note that our product is at its best & creamiest when a blender is used.

Please sit ceremonially and with sacred intention with this cacao. Adjust dose for your own body and needs, as this is powerful medicine and it deserves 90+ minutes of conscious connection.
