Cacao flavanols are the most evidence-backed part of cacao’s nutritional profile...
Baking chocolate and cocoa each have their place — but ceremonial cacao adds a layer of intention, nuance, and connection that transcends the purely culinary. Whether you're crafting heart-opening beverages or experimenting with cacao in your desserts, using a mindful, high-quality cacao can transform your kitchen into a sacred space.
Most people have never tasted real cacao. What's sold in supermarkets has been processed, defatted, or loaded with sugar until nothing healing remains. That's not cacao. That's confectionery.
Ceremonial grade cacao is 100% pure cacao paste. The whole bean, pressed. That's it. Nothing stripped, nothing added.
It naturally contains theobromine, magnesium, and mood-elevating compounds that gently open the heart, sharpen focus, and create calm, sustained energy. No crash. No jitters. Just clarity.
Feel It In 20 Minutes
Theobromine increases blood flow, lifts serotonin and dopamine, and creates a warm, open energy. Not wired. Switched on.
Reiki Infused
Charged with Reiki energy by two Master Practitioners (Georgia & Elyse) before every batch ships. Your cup carries intention.

Welcome. We’re Georgia and Elyse.
We’ve been friends since 2005, and in 2018 we discovered ceremonial-grade cacao for the first time. It changed everything.
As practitioners of Reiki, Ayurveda and Shamanic healing, we came to see cacao as more than a drink. To us, it became a way to slow down, reconnect, and return to the heart.
Spirit of Cacao was born from that experience. We created it to share pure, intentional cacao with people seeking something real.
Every batch of our single-origin Peruvian Criollo cacao is infused with Reiki energy and offered with deep care, reverence, and integrity.
Every cup of ceremonial grade cacao delivers a precise stack of naturally occurring bioactives that modern science is only beginning to describe; compounds we now know support the body's own systems for circulation, energy, and cellular repair. Epicatechin and procyanidin flavanols, shown to support healthy blood flow and arterial function. Theobromine, a gentle, long-acting plant compound that lifts energy without the cortisol spike of caffeine. Polyphenols that support the body's natural antioxidant defences. And one of the richest plant sources of magnesium, iron, and zinc on earth; in the whole-food form your cells actually recognise.
We don't roast it hot. We don't cut it with sugar, dairy, or fillers. What's in the cup is what the plant made, intact, potent, and alive. This is cacao as it was always meant to be taken. Ancient in tradition, validated by science, and felt within the first sip.
Cacao flavanols, particularly epicatechin, are studied for their role in supporting healthy blood flow and vascular function. It's one reason pure cacao brings that signature feeling of warmth, openness, and clarity within the first half hour.
Theobromine is a naturally occurring compound in cacao that supports steady energy and focus for hours, without the jitters, spike, or crash of caffeine. Alert, but rooted. Lifted, but grounded.
Ceremonial cacao is one of the densest plant sources of magnesium, iron, zinc, and polyphenols on earth, the exact minerals and compounds modern life quietly depletes. Whole-food nutrition at a cellular level.
Ceremonial grade cacao is pure, whole-bean cacao. The most minimally processed food on earth, with nothing added and nothing removed.
Unlike cocoa powder or chocolate, it retains all its natural fats, nutrients, and energetic properties.
Ours is single-origin Criollo from Peru, widely considered the finest variety for ceremonial use. It is one of the few remaining strains of the Criollo variety that is not genetically modified.
It's not, which is exactly why sourcing matters. We use 100% pure Criollo cacao paste, organic, non-GMO, and free from fillers, sugar, or artificial anything. When you buy from us, you know what you're getting.
What makes cacao ceremonial?
Native & Heirloom Varieties: It comes from noble, non-hybridized cacao strains, primarily Criollo or native Arriba Nacional which possess a smoother, less bitter, and more "heart-opening" energetic quality compared to industrial hybrids.
Minimal Processing & Nutritious: The beans are lightly roasted or sun-dried to preserve their enzymatic properties and medicinal compounds. Crucially, the cacao butter (the natural fat) is never removed, keeping it in its whole-food form.
Zero Additives: No sugar, dairy, or emulsifiers are added, allowing for a pure, bitter, and rich experience that differentiates it from commercial drinking chocolate.
Ethical & Small-Batch Sourcing: It is almost always sourced through direct-trade partnerships that honour farmers with higher-than-fairtrade wages.
Intention & Energy: The production process is often treated as a sacred act, with intentionality and respect for the spirit of the cacao, which many feel sets it apart from mass-produced products.
Ceremonial cacao is a gentle plant medicine, but those taking SSRIs, blood pressure medication, or undergoing chemotherapy should keep to a lower dose (around 15–20g). Pregnant women should also limit intake. Always consult your healthcare provider if unsure.
Cacao is not a psychedelic. Its active compound, theobromine, is a gentle heart stimulant, quite different from caffeine. Most people feel open, warm, focused, and emotionally present. It's a shift in state, not a loss of it. Great for deep focus tasks or creative endeavours.
Every batch is infused with Reiki energy by Georgia and Elyse — two Master Reiki Practitioners with nearly two decades of healing practice.
The intention is for the recipient to receive healing across mind, body and soul. For their souls calling to come forth and align in this lifetime.
Our cacao isn't just sourced with care, it's held with intention from the moment it arrives to the moment it reaches you.
Our cacao has a beautifully rich, smooth, and full bodied flavour. Customers often come back because it tastes unlike any cacao they have tried before. It is naturally sweetened as it grows wild alongside pineapples.
It is deep and chocolatey without being overly bitter, with a naturally luxurious profile that makes it easy to enjoy as a daily ritual.
