Ceremonial Cacao Mexico

Theobroma cacao – a gift from the gods

The cacao tree (lat. Theobroma cacao) is an evergreen tree native to South America. Its seeds – cacao beans – have been valued by mankind for thousands of years. They are used to make cacao, high-quality chocolate, and ceremonial cacao, which retains most of the nutrients and plant intelligence from this sacred tree.

The combination of caffeine and theobromine provides the body with a gentle, stable boost. Amino acids and neuroactive substances such as tryptophan and anandamide promote good mood, creativity, and cognitive function. It is therefore no surprise that cacao, with its heart-opening qualities that promote empathy, gratitude, and a deeper sense of belonging, is considered a true superfood for the body, mind, and spirit.
