How to use it
Melt 23 g into 6–8 oz of hot, not boiling, water and whisk for thirty seconds. The blend is slightly denser than the pure cacaos, so give it the extra ten seconds — it emulsifies fully once it does.
It takes oat milk better than the pure origins do if you want it creamier, and a pinch of salt sharpens the chocolate note. Start below a full serving for the first few cups.

✨ Temple Tip
Keep this one for the end of the working day rather than the start. It is the quietest cup in the range, and it is wasted on a morning you are going to spend rushing.
Frequently asked questions
Does it taste like mushrooms?
Not really. The extracts blend into the cacao and read as earthiness rather than as a mushroom flavor of their own.
What does fruiting body only mean?
The extract is made from the mushroom itself rather than from mycelium grown on grain, so there is no grain or starch carried into the powder.
Is it gluten free?
Yes. There are no grains or fillers in the mushroom extracts or in the cacao.
Does it contain caffeine?
Cacao contains a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine along with about 196 mg of theobromine per serving. It is not caffeine-free.
Can I drink it every day?
Many people do. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition, speak to your doctor before adding any mushroom or herbal blend to your routine.
How do I store it?
Cool, dark, dry and sealed. Cacao picks up other smells quickly, so keep it away from strong spices.
