Ceremonial Cacao from Bali with love
Not all Cacao is created equal. I’ve always been particular about the cacao I choose to drink and serve in ceremony.
The medicine of Mama Cacao has been a profound catalyst for my spiritual development. For the past 5 years, I’ve held ceremonies with the spirit of Cacao as a sacred conductor, cultivating a sensitive and refined preference not only for its taste but also for how it harmonizes with my body and impacts my nervous system and spiritual essence. I’ve witnessed the energetic shifts within sacred groups, and I choose my cacao sources with great care.
This cacao from Ubud is raw, rare and has a deep, loving effect—smooth, creamy, and beautifully expansive. It activates a profound sense of gratitude and grace, guiding me through my spiritual evolution. I’ve been amazed at the absence of the typical cacao “hangovers”—no gas, heart racing, or headaches. I visited the plantations first hand whilst on my recent journey to Ubud, discovering a beautiful synergy between the growers and the earth, filled with joy and pride in their process. The atmosphere was unhurried, with abundant time for guidance and answers to all my questions, all set in the lush, vibrant jungle.
This Raw Ceremonial Grade Cacao is made from certified organic cacao. From planting the seeds to harvesting, the farmers offer daily prayers and ceremonies at each stage. Each farm has a shrine dedicated to Mother Earth and the Hindu gods, reflecting a level of devotion unique to Balinese culture. This is what makes this ceremonial cacao such a powerful plant medicine.
The sacred beans are peeled, ground, and packaged without any tempering or additives, resulting in 100% pure cacao that is ethically sourced.
I’m excited to share that I’ve brought some back to Cyprus with me and have a limited supply for those who appreciate the sacredness of this gift from the jungles of Ubud.
Why Ceremonial Cacao:
Ceremonial cacao differs from regular cacao in its gentle handling and minimal processing. After harvest, the beans are fermented and sun‑dried, but not roasted. The dried beans are hulled to reveal cacao nibs, which are ground into a dense paste and then formed into solid blocks. These blocks resemble pure, unsweetened chocolate but are made simply, without conching or tempering, to preserve the bean’s natural profile. The goal is to keep the cacao as close to its original state as possible, maintaining its nutrients and subtle energetic qualities with nothing added or taken away.
When the beans arrive, they are gently dried, the husks removed, and grinded at low temperatures to protect their nutrients and delicate biochemistry. Every step is carried out with care and intention so the finished product is both delicious and deeply nourishing, a raw, ceremonial‑grade cacao crafted for potency and flavor.
We hold that the Bali ceremonial cacao we bring, ranks among the finest available. It’s made to support inner work, spiritual inquiry, creative inspiration, and a felt connection to the sacred, however each person understands and practices that path.
