How to Use It
Cacao likes a slow hand. Give it four minutes and a little attention.
- Warm 6–8 oz of water or plant-based milk. Keep it just below boiling so the cacao stays velvety.
- Add your serving of elixir as directed on the pouch and whisk until fully dissolved and glossy.
- Sweetener and plant-based milk are entirely optional — traditionally, cacao is prepared with hot water and herbs alone.
- Sit down before you drink. Wrap both hands around the cup, take three slow breaths, and name what you want this cup to hold.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in Gentle Activation?
Ceremonial Ecuadorian cacao with lion's mane mushroom, ashwagandha and maca, rounded out with sacred spices.
How is this different from coffee?
The maker positions it as a coffee alternative built on cacao and theobromine rather than a heavy caffeine load, intended to avoid the jitters and the crash.
Is there caffeine in this?
Ceremonial cacao naturally contains theobromine, which the maker describes as caffeine's cleaner cousin, alongside a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine. It is not a decaffeinated product.
Can I drink it in the evening?
Many people prefer their cacao in the morning or early afternoon. If you are sensitive to stimulating drinks, start with a smaller cup earlier in the day.
How is it shipped?
Ships within 3 business days in sealed packaging. Store your pouch closed, cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.
Is it suitable for everyone?
