Customer photo review of Ceremonial Cacao — Element Blends Tins Variety Pack (4 tins - 8oz each)

I was gifted these by my husband and continue to buy them when I run out. I drink hot chocolate, every morning, (for more than 20 years). Usually just cacao powder in hot water. Sometimes I add additional flavors, but never sugar/sweeteners. I adore this chocolate I have tried both bars and tins. I prefer the tins. I love the creaminess of the chocolate. I think the balance of chocolate to spice is absolutely perfect. I couldn’t improve on this product. Spot on !

Customer video review of Ceremonial Cacao — Element Blends Tins Variety Pack (4 tins - 8oz each)

I’ve been working with the medicine of Cacao for about 6 years now. And like every supernatural food it guides me through in service of cosmic alignment and honest unity. During the pandemic, I was introduced to the growing community of Cacao Lab and since then I’ve been amazed by their contribution to communal healing and all the work with wisdom keepers. Thank you, I look forward to the healing this Cacao brings to me and those I get to meet, share and serve on my journey. 🌸

Taking time to be quiet, reflect, and connect to the Divine is a foundation that helps me start my day with actionable intention. This ceremonial cacao is a gift (yes, it is delicious!) as are the humans that run this company. I feel good knowing that this company respects and cares for those who tend and produce this cacao. I appreciate how they honor the healing properties and work toward sharing guidance with their customers. I'm glad I found cacao laboratory!

Ceremonial Cacao — Element Blends Tins Variety Pack, Organic (4 tins - 8oz each)

My first experience with Cacao was a gift of your “Air Cacao” from my daughter who lives in Kingston. She wanted to support a local small business. I’ve been enjoying it in my morning coffee, which is a light coffee so the cacao shines through. I researched other brands but your brand seems the most authentic so I decided to treat myself with your 4 can collection. Thank you, I love it! Not to mention the health benefits!

I love those!! It's become my scrumptious morning ritual. Minutes of silence and warmth and delightful scents and flavors and intention. I love choosing which element I feel most drawn to on any given day. I've been a passionate coffee drinker and with those cacao I don't even want coffee anymore. The energy I get from the cacao is much more grounding and steady through the day. Also less acidic!! and I LOVE the spices

I measured out 30 gm, (shot glass), and added hot water and a tsp of honey. I ordered powdered coconut milk and munk fruit for sweetner. Am looking forward to trying those with the Cacao. So far I've tried the "water" Cacao and the "Fire" Cacao..both are lovely. Thank you for a wonderful experience with Cacao. Jackie

I literally look forward to waking up knowing I’m about to be embraced by this warm bath of chocolate ! When I’m undecided on a flavor, I’m amazed that my senses guide me each time to a different one than previous - each tin is so unique in aroma and flavor. I’m pretty obsessed I will admit. I’m gifting it for the holidays to a few friends .

The Details

Preparation

Unlike cocoa powder, ceremonial Cacao has not been defatted and requires warm water and thorough blending for it to mix well.


1.  Heat up water to just under boiling


2. While heating up water, begin to chop or grate the cacao. If cacao is already granulated, you can skip this step.


3. Mix chopped/granulated cacao thoroughly with either a tea infusion or hot water using a frother, blender, or whisk.


Quality of water is an important component: filtered water is preferred. 


For more thorough preparation instructions, ideas for superfood boosts, and recipes, please visit our Preparing Your Cacao page.

Attention: We do not add emulsifiers to our cacao. This may lead to the naturally occurring fats in the cacao to separate from the solids and create white spots or a thin white layer on your cacao. This is called blooming and is normal. The properties of the cacao remain intact and its quality does not change.
Servings

A meditation serving is about 1 ounce (28 grams). This can also be measured with about 2 heaping tablespoons of chopped or granulated cacao.


A ceremonial serving is about 1.25 ounces (36 grams). This can also be measured with about 3 tablespoons of chopped or granulated cacao.


An 8 oz tin of granulated cacao will make about 8 meditation servings; a 1 pound bag of granulated cacao will make about 16 meditation servings; while the 1 kilo (2.2 lb) block will make about 35 meditation servings.

Health Benefits

Our whole ceremonial-grade cacao is an incredibly healthy food. Read more about it on our Cacao and Your Health page.

Some highlights include:

  • High theobromine content and very low caffeine content. Theobromine is a cousin to caffeine, but it works completely differently. It works primarily on your cardiovascular system rather than your brain, giving you a gentle, long-lasting lift without the jitters and caffeine crash.

  • Incredible antioxidant potency. Ceremonial-grade cacao has over 40x the antioxidants of blueberries and is one of the most antioxidant-dense foods in the world.

  • One of the best vegan sources of magnesium, which helps relax the body and maintain muscle health.

  • The best vegan source of iron.

  • Vital source of vitamins A, C,and D and B-complex vitamins B1, B2, and B3.

  • Whole cacao contains high levels of the amino acids l-tryptophan and l-tyrosine, which are the building blocks of the mood-moderating neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.

  • It contains phenylethylamine, known as the love drug. PEA works by slowing the reuptake of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, leading to an increased concentration of “happy chemicals” in the brain. This may lead to a natural anti-depressive state over time.

  • Cacao is one of the only food sources of the endocannabinoid anandamide, known as the bliss molecule. The anandamide in cacao works in concert with the body's internal cannabinoid system, moderating stress, pain, and mood responses. CBD supplements act similarly by attaching to endocannabinoid receptors in the body, rather than the brain.

  • The very high levels of antioxidants in ceremonial-grade cacao have been shown to be neuroprotective. And while cacao is not a psychedelic, it is a psychoactive compound—meaning that it may play a vital role in improving your mental space.
What Is Ceremonial-Grade?

Ceremonial-grade is not a certification, but rather an intentional process of bringing to market the very best cacao available.

These are our core tenets of ceremonial-grade cacao:


The source matters. Cacao plants are not all created equal, and seeking the best cacao is the first step to ensuring an excellent experience. This is why we harvest heirloom cacao from some of the oldest and least-modified plantings in the world.


The land matters. The raising of said cacao must be in harmony with the land and regenerate it over time. All of our cacao is raised in agroforestry systems that maintain the forest, rather than destroy it.


Respect matters. Every person, from the farmer to the team member who packs your shipment, must be compensated fairly and treated with respect. That's why we pay above-fair-trade prices at origin and include all employees and partner farms in profit-sharing plans.


Intention matters. This cacao is meant to hold a special place in your life—a ritual, a refuge, a teacher. As such, every member of the process treats the production of your cacao with the intention that it plays a valuable role in your day, and we hope you enjoy it with the same respect.


You can read more about our commitment to bringing you the best cacao at our What Is Ceremonial-Grade Cacao? page.
