Spicy Cacao | 20 Cups
A blessing in every cup 🌶️
Inspired by the ancient Mayan and Aztec tradition of cacao with chili, our Spicy Cacao is an invigorating, heart-opening self-love ritual to awaken the heart and illuminate the mind.
20 Divinely Delicious Cups
- 80% ceremonial cacao from Vanuatu
- Roasted and stone ground in Raglan with our friends at Raglan Chocolate
- Organic spices, freshly ground
- Sweetened with jaggery, no refined sugar
- The perfect coffee alternative: less caffeine, more theobromine
- Enjoy hot or iced 🔥🧊
The taste
Rich, dark Vanuatu cacao meets bright red chili for fire, ginger for warmth, and cardamom for a soft floral lift that balances the depth, finished with a pinch of Himalayan salt. Gently sweetened with jaggery, an unrefined sugar from India.
The feeling
Cacao naturally carries theobromine and a touch of caffeine for a gentle, uplifting energy that opens rather than jolts. It's a beautiful bridge if you're reducing caffeine during the day.
In Ayurveda, chili and ginger kindle agni, our digestive fire, while cardamom, a spice said to bring balance to every body type, softens cacao's richness and keeps the lift light and clear.
Hot or iced 🔥🧊
Enjoy hot for deep warmth and grounding, or iced for a lighter, refreshing lift on sunny days. The spices keep a gentle glow either way.
Grown with care, made together
Our cacao begins with single-origin beans from Vanuatu. Our friends at Raglan Chocolate roast them, and we join them in their facility for the final stone grinding before blending it all by hand with our spices and jaggery. We also work alongside smallholder growers in Papua New Guinea and Samoa who farm naturally, without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers. While not certified organic, their cacao is grown the way it always has been, in harmony with the land. We use certified organic ingredients wherever possible.
