Cacao ceremonial grade

Pure cocoa mass for ritual and reflection

Unflavored, single origin cocoa from Kerala (India), directly from small-scale farmers.

This ceremonial grade cacao consists of pieces of pure cacao mass: lightly roasted specialty cacao beans that were stone ground at low temperature into a raw paste. Not polished, not tempered, and exactly why it is so potent.

Single origin cocoa with distinct terroir

This cocoa is single origin and comes from the Idukki Mountains around Kerala. Just like wine or tea, you taste the terroir here: climate, soil and local varieties determine the character.

The cultivars used are Trinitario and Forastero, known for their aromatic complexity and depth.

Artisanal processing, from bean to mass

The cocoa beans are fermented on site in Kerala in wooden boxes (jackfruit wood), sun-dried in UV cabinets and then lightly roasted at the lowest possible temperature. They are then skinned and ground on traditional stone mills.

Because the cocoa is not tempered, its texture is rough and matte rather than smooth and shiny. That appearance is typical and a sign of minimal processing.

Ideal for cocoa ceremonies and meditation

This cacao is traditionally used in cacao ceremonies and rituals. It is known for its warming, grounding nature and is often used to support relaxation, introspection and meditation.

A moment of slowing down, connection and attention, with cocoa as a companion.

Complex flavor profile

The aromas are layered and evolve as you drink: woody and nutty, with spicy accents, and beyond fruity and floral notes.

A cocoa to drink slowly and experience consciously.

This is how to prepare ceremonial cocoa

Use about 20 g of cocoa mass per cup (180-200 ml).

Chop the cocoa and heat water or a vegetable drink (do not boil). Add the cocoa and stir until everything is dissolved. This can be done in a saucepan, blender or with a milk frother.

Traditionally, the drink is slightly bitter. You can sweeten to taste with a date, some honey or another sweetener of your choice.
