This medicine is a specifically cultivated light roast to ensure you are receiving the full medicine of Cacao.

Raw (unroasted) cacao is cacao in its most ceremonial and traditional form, used for thousands of years as a sacred plant medicine. As it is not exposed to heat, raw cacao retains high levels of antioxidants that help protect cells, support heart and circulatory health, and gently stimulates the nervous system. Raw cacao is high in anandamide, the ‘bliss’ chemical and Tryptophan, the precursor to serotonin. This potency is what gives raw cacao its deeply heart-opening, emotionally activating quality, often used in ritual and intentional settings.

Roasted cacao beans undergo heat, shifting cacao from a ceremonial medicine into a more grounding, nourishing food. Roasting can significantly reduce the heat sensitive antioxidants, bliss and happy compounds, however increases the bioavailability of minerals and nutrients such as iron, magnesium and potassium, making it easier for our guts to digest. The heat also increases phenylethylamine, the ‘love’ chemical, released when we fall in love. Roasting softens cacao’s stimulating effects for a calmer, more comforting experience, making roasted cacao ideal for everyday enjoyment, integration, and sharing, rather than deep ceremonial use.

This medicine is roasted to a low heat that is a perfect balance to soften the cacaos stimulation, opening up the bioavailability of nutrients with only a slight reduction on the feel good compounds and antioxidants. Each sip, you are receiving cacao in her full magic and medicine.
