How to use it
Chop or weigh out your serving, then melt it into roughly 6–8 oz of hot — not boiling — water. Boiling water scorches cacao and turns it bitter.
Whisk properly. A hand frother or a small whisk for thirty seconds is what separates a smooth, emulsified cup from a gritty one. Add honey, a pinch of salt or chilli if you want; it needs none of them.
Drink it early. The 1 oz single-serve boxes are made for travel — one sachet, one cup, no scale required.
Start with a smaller serving than the packaging suggests for your first few cups and work upward. Cacao is best met gradually.

✨ Temple Tip
Make it the first thing you do, before your phone. A cacao cup takes about four minutes to prepare properly, and those four minutes of whisking are the actual ritual — the drink is just what is left over at the end.
Frequently asked questions
What is ceremonial cacao?
Whole cacao bean, minimally processed, with the natural cacao butter left in — unlike cocoa powder, which has most of the fat removed. It is prepared as a drink rather than eaten.
How much do I use per cup?
Most people work in the range of 20–42 g depending on how strong they like it. Start at the lower end and adjust over your first week.
Does it contain caffeine?
Cacao contains theobromine and a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine. It is noticeably different from coffee — most people find it steadier — but 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, talk to your doctor before adding any herbal blend to your routine.
How do I store it?
Cool, dark and dry, sealed. Cacao picks up other smells easily, so keep it away from strong spices.
