The Story Behind Your Cup
We partner directly with small-scale family farmers in the remote Amazonian regions of Peru, where cacao thrives in the shade of native rainforest canopy. These aren't industrial plantations, they're multigenerational farms where biodiversity and flavour are inseparable. Every bean is harvested by hand and fermented using time honoured methods passed down through families.
Our flagship Peruvian Criollo comes from the ancestral fields of Luis Reyes and his cooperative, where agroforestry traditions mean cacao plants grow alongside fruit trees, nitrogen-fixing plants, and native hardwoods. This isn't just farming, it's stewardship. The result is cacao with exceptional terroir: bright citrus notes, floral aromatics, and a complexity that only true single-origin can deliver.
Learn Our Story
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.

I have tried so many different brands of ceremonial cacao but Spirit Of Cacao hit me different. 1st of all the packaging is just beautiful and your cacao is wrapped in the most beautiful wrapping paper with light language symbols. There is something very special about it. Then you have your little ritual of making your cacao and the taste is just gorgeous. So easy to drink and heart warming.
Amazing quality. Will definately buy again.
From the very first sip, Spirit of Cacao Ceremonial Grade Cacao felt like a true homecoming for my heart. There’s a softness, a warmth, and a depth to this medicine that I’ve never experienced with any other brand. It’s as though every cup carries its own intention, gentle, grounding, and profoundly nourishing.
The energy of this cacao is pure. You can feel the integrity in the way it’s sourced, the love infused into the process, and the reverence held for the tradition behind it.
Each ceremony with Spirit of Cacao brings me back into my body, reconnecting me to my intuition. It’s a medicine that doesn’t just open the heart… it holds it.
I resonate so deeply with this brand because it feels aligned, conscious, and genuine.
Nothing about it feels commercial or forced, it feels sacred. It feels like something created with intention for people who truly honour their spiritual path.
If you’re seeking cacao that supports healing, connection, and emotional expansion, Spirit of Cacao is a gift. A ritual. A companion. A gentle teacher.
This isn’t just cacao.
It’s ceremony in its truest form.
I have been drinking cacao for 7yrs and have tried many companies but by far Spirit of Cacao has been my favourite. Well done in creating such a beautiful heartfelt experience.
I'm so grateful I found Spirit of Cacao, I was looking for an ethically sourced, small business to buy cacao from. I love that the cacao is chopped and ready to go (I find the block quite overwhelming) and the different dosages on the box help me be more intentional with my cacao practice. The cacao itself smells divine and makes for a really creamy, heart warming drink. Thank you for the love and care that goes into the cacao and the packaging, I look forward to purchasing again soon.
