On some days you just need a little extra celebration and motivation, and this enhanced ceremonial cacao elevates you quickly as our blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cayenne get your circulation pulsing. The spices are warming and quicken the effect of the cacao, making it a cold weather favorite, but we'll happily drink this one even when it's warm out.
Ancient peoples of Central & South America loved drinking their chocolate hot and spicy rather than sugary. This is a modern interpretation of ancient Mayan drinking chocolate honoring our Zapotec elder Maria. She taught us the time-honored ways of chocolate making in Oaxaca by roasting cacao beans over on open fire on a clay comal, carefully hand peeling the cacao beans, and then grinding the cacao with spices on a metate (hand stone grinder). Through this special cacao, we give gratitude to the roots of cacao ceremony.
