Not polished, not tempered, and exactly why it is so potent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eSingle origin cocoa with distinct terroir\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cultivars used are Trinitario and Forastero, known for their aromatic complexity and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eArtisanal processing, from bean to mass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eIdeal for cocoa ceremonies and meditation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moment of slowing down, connection and attention, with cocoa as a companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eComplex flavor profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aromas are layered and evolve as you drink: woody and nutty, with spicy accents, and beyond fruity and floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cocoa to drink slowly and experience consciously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eThis is how to prepare ceremonial cocoa\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse about 20 g of cocoa mass per cup (180-200 ml).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChop 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, the drink is slightly bitter. You can sweeten to taste with a date, some honey or another sweetener of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% non-tempered cocoa mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eAllergens\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product contains no allergens.\u003cbr\u003e\nMay contain traces of: nuts(almond, hazel), peanuts, sesame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is packaged and\/or stored in a facility that also processes products containing nuts, peanuts, mustard, celery, gluten, sesame, soy and sulphite.
