Cacao bloom happens due to the separation of cacao butter or sugar from the cacao liquor, causing it to rise to the surface and crystallise.

There are two types of bloom:

·    Fat bloom, caused by changes in temperature

·    Sugar bloom, due to moisture exposure

While it might seem like a flaw, cacao bloom is a testament to the purity and authenticity of the ceremonial-grade cacao.

One of the most remarkable aspects of cacao bloom is that it does not alter the taste of the cacao.

Despite its altered appearance, the rich, delicious flavours, smooth texture and medicinal properties remain intact, promising that wellbeing remedy with every sip.

About Our Cacao

100% pure ceremonial-grade cacao. No additives, sweeteners or preservatives. 

All our products are:

  • Organically grown

Ecuadorian cacao is known for its light, smooth, and silky texture. If you’re new to cacao, or exploring different origins, each variety offers its own unique personality and experience.

Important: Cacao & SSRIs

If you are taking high doses of SSRIs please consult with your doctor before consuming. Cacao releases serotonin, so it works as a mild antidepressant. SSRI’s release serotonin chemically, while cacao releases serotonin naturally, which can lead to serotonin syndrome.
