What is ceremonial-grade cacao?
All chocolate is made from cacao beans but not all cacao beans are created or harvested equally. Many brands market their drinking chocolate as 'ceremonial-grade' without fully understanding what that term actually means.
Labelling cacao 'ceremonial-grade' has been employed as yet another marketing ploy over the last decade, as drinking chocolate has made a comeback as a prominent way of consuming cacao. With more and more 'ceremonial-grade' cacao brands popping up every single day and the drinking chocolate trend showing no signs of slowing, it's more important than ever to clarify what distinguishes Cacao as 'ceremonial-grade.'
What Makes our cacao Ceremonial-Grade?
-
We source only 100% native, wild-crafted, organic cacao beans. Working with one small indigenous family, our farmers commit to a life of ‘selective harvesting’, ensuring that our cacao isn't mixed with any other lower-grade, genetically altered, or hybridized cacao. We have direct, close, and intimate relationships with the farmers from whom we source, ensuring our customers receive only the highest quality ceremonial-grade cacao available.
-
Unlike cocoa powder or the raw cacao powders you find in grocery stores, our cacao beans are ground WHOLE using traditional and ancestral means. This means that our product also includes cacao butter, giving in a higher nutritional value. It also means that our cacao is produced with the presence of unique and living plant compounds that elicit cacao's ceremonial effects.
-
From tree to cup, our ceremonial-grade cacao is cultivated with reverence, respect, integrity, and intention, with a strong focus on the ancestral concept of‘ right relationship’, ensuring balance and harmony across the board. Our entire process is approached with respect for the land, the people, and the culture responsible for cacao's cultivation. We are rooted in ensuring reciprocity is exercised through the entirety of our supply chain so that each party is honoured for their unique contribution to our mission in ways that are entirely relevant to them.
