Do you want delicious cacao with a creamy texture and an attractive spicy flavour for your cacao ceremonies?

Prepare a delicious drink to relax during a ritual, which you can enjoy alone or in a group. Experience every moment here and now and support a conscious approach to life in the spirit of mindfulness. Leave stress, worries, and anxieties at the door and open your heart to restore harmony.

Cacao contains a unique ratio of theobromine and caffeine, which acts as a gentle stimulant with a slower and longer-lasting effect than, for example, coffee. At the same time, it will lift your mood, support mental freshness, and unleash your creativity – try enjoying it before you start creating.

In the traditional medicine of indigenous peoples, cacao is used to support immunity and normal digestion, against snakebites or insect stings, to facilitate convalescence, childbirth, or lactation. It refreshes in old age and stimulates desire.

For the production of our cacao, we use only the best, carefully harvested cacao beans from organic farming, which have been very gently processed. We produce it in small batches right here at BEWIT.

Cacao – a precious food of the gods

The cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) is a tree originating from the tropical parts of South America. Today it is widespread throughout the tropical belt, widely cultivated in Africa (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, and others). Its name means „food of the gods“. The fruits are about 30 cm long pods, which contain seeds called cacao beans inside. And it is from these that cacao, a raw material popular all over the world, is made.

What is ceremonial cacao?

Ceremonial cacao is intended for meditative ceremonies and rituals, whether by this ritual you mean a morning moment just for yourself with a cup of delicious drink, or special cacao circles. We make it with love from high-quality organic cacao beans that have undergone gentle processing to preserve the maximum amount of beneficial substances.

Cacao ceremonies originated in the 1990s in connection with the New Age movement. They loosely follow the traditions of Central American civilisations, such as the Mayans and Aztecs. For them, cacao was a sacred and ritual raw material. It was expensive, so it was only accessible to selected high-ranking men and also served as currency.

What is the difference between chocolate and 100% cacao mass?

Cacao mass consists exclusively of ground cacao beans. It can be used pure, e.g., as ceremonial cacao, or serve as a raw material for further processing, e.g., into chocolate. This is made from cacao mass, which is tempered and supplemented with sugar, or other added ingredients.

How to use

Ceremonial cacao is traditionally prepared as a warm drink. Cut the cacao into smaller pieces with a ceramic knife and pour the desired amount of water, or plant-based milk or herbal or spice decoction over it.

The liquid you pour over the cacao should be between 70 and 80 °C to preserve as many beneficial substances as possible. To dissolve and create a rich foam, use a whisk (if you have one, a traditional Mexican molinillo), a matcha whisk, or an immersion blender.

Cacao is traditionally prepared with intention, in a space cleansed with incense (palo santo, white sage, copal, etc.), in the presence of the element of fire and music.

Dosage

For 200 ml of drink, you will need:

• For beginners, children, and a milder tasting drink: 15–20 g
• For full-flavoured cacao: 20–34 g
• Ceremonial dose: 34–44 g
• Generally recommended maximum daily dose: 50 g

Adhere to the recommended maximum daily dose, as you can overdose on cacao. Overdosing will manifest as a headache, very strong heart palpitations, and hand tremors. When drinking cacao, always maintain your fluid intake, as it is a diuretic.

Store in a dry, dark place. Ideally at a temperature between 14–18 °C, maximum 24 °C, protect from temperature fluctuations. After opening, keep in a tightly sealed container – pantry moths love cacao.

Warning

This product does not have a powdered consistency; it is a solid mass that needs to be cut or grated before use. It is not tempered chocolate. Fat and sugar bloom are natural and not a defect.

Due to the content of theobromine and caffeine in a combination whose effects can last up to 7 hours, we recommend drinking cacao rather in the morning.

People with low blood pressure, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and young children should consume cacao with caution, or consult a doctor.
