We buy from small family farms practicing regenerative, organic certified agroforestry. Our small team travels to each of the cacao communities that we source from to establish reciprocal, long-term relationships that result in thriving for all. Our social impact model pays farmers some of the highest prices for cacao in each country that we source from, and produces premium quality organic cacao. Lab tested, heavy metal free, and traceable, unlike most raw cacao paste. Healthy Alternative to Coffee. Provides gentle, sustained energy - no more jitters or crashes. Contains 212mg of Theobromine, the primary stimulant in cacao, which stimulates the heart and relaxes blood vessels and supports the cardiovascular system by producing an effect of 30-40% higher blood circulation. High in key minerals and nutrients like magnesium, chromium, copper, calcium, manganese, zinc, sulfur, and iron. No sugar added, diabetic friendly. High flavonol, high flavanol. Beneficial for Mood. Pure cacao contains beneficial neurotransmitters and neuro-modulators already present in our brain. It also contains reuptake inhibitors that block the pathways that our bodies normally use to break down and recycle these beneficial mood altering molecules, so the good mood lasts for longer. In the long term, cacao can have therapeutic health benefits, including creating new neural pathways that change our daily experience to include more joy, love, and connection. A Whole Food. Ceremonial cacao is made from premium whole cacao beans with nothing added or removed and minimal processing. Cocoa powder, in contrast, is made from the lowest quality cacao beans, and highly processed to separate the cocoa butter, losing the essential fat based carrier mechanism for delivering the health benefits of cacao. Brewing cacao runs water through cacao nibs for a watery drink, while ceremonial cacao uses the whole bean in the drink to deliver optimum health benefits. Let this cacao fill you with joy! Its generous spirit carries the heartbeat of the Semuliki Forest - a lush, tropical rainforest beneath the soaring Rwenzori mountains that form the border between the Congo and Uganda, and are also part of the Nile River headwaters. This cacao is grown by over 50% female farmers who imbue this cacao with their strength & spirit. 70% of the farmers are under the age of 35, so this cacao contributes good livelihood to a vibrant young generation of farmers. Work with this cacao to experience strengthening in your soul and your power. It feels like a steady drumbeat under the mountain. Enjoy consistent and classic chocolate flavor notes reminding us of a childhood hot cocoa, chocolate fudge and chocolate truffles.
