ĀKĀŚA Ceremonial Cacao

ĀKĀŚA Ceremonial Cacao is grown from ‘Arriba Nacional’, an endangered heirloom strain prized for its exceptionally complex and unique flavour profile. Sourced from a family in Quevedo, Ecuador, our cacao is grown in accordance with traditional agroforestry principles that protect unique biodiversity.

WHY CACAO?

At ĀKĀŚA, we are passionate about co-creating a more joyful,  compassionate, and loving world. To even be able to fathom how such a world could look, we need to be able to slow down, take deeper breaths, and engage with the reality of the present moment. 

When our nervous system is on high alert (fight/flight/freeze/ fawn), it's near impossible to dream big or connect deeply.

The stimulating effects of caffeine were pivotal to the success of the Industrial Revolution. Coffee helped to sever our connection to natural cycles and replaced it with clock time; enabling us to work around the clock. We believe that the time is now for the reemergence of an ancient plant ally.

In her pure form, ceremonial cacao can help us slow down, facilitate connection, reset our body’s circadian rhythms, nourish us, and help us dream a more harmonious future together.
