Ceremonial Cacao buying 35.27oz Arriba Nacional- 100% premium drinking chocolate

Hi, we are Flo and Fede. We are a brother-sister duo and the founders of Cacao Lab; your source for Ceremonial Cacao.

We source the finest heirloom varieties of cacao directly from farmers in Ecuador and Guatemala. Different from cocoa powder, which has been processed and defatted, ceremonial cacao retains all of its nutrients and feel good molecules which help us relax, connect, and feel happy!

Our journey into the world of cacao began while studying with Mayan elders in Guatemala who traditionally use cacao, not for chocolate, but as a ceremonial beverage meant to connect and inspire. This lead us on a deeper journey of understanding of our connection to mother earth and our fellow humans. From here we were inspired to create the most healing line of ceremonial cacao blends to help you create very special moments for yourself and your loved ones.

About our Cacao
We source our cacao beans from family owned farms that employ regenerative buying practices such as agroforestry. We carefully look for and select older native trees as opposed to the ever more present genetically modified strains such as the ccn-51. The beans are fermented 5-6 days, then roasted, peeled, and ground to a paste.

The Benefits
Cacao is high in magnesium, helping you relax, and theobromine which is a stimulant slightly more gentle than caffeine. Anandamide and other feel good molecules as well as a precursor to serotonin. Drinking cacao in community helps you connect, allowing you to be more gentle with yourself and with your community.
