Our Ceremonial Grade Cacao at Conscious Development is a pure embodiment of the age-old Mexican tradition, carefully selected from a single-origin farm deep within the verdant landscapes of Mexico. With a rich heritage rooted in sustainable agriculture, this farm not only preserves the legacy of the ancient Mesoamericans but also fuels our mission of holistic health and wellness through quality, purity, and ethical sourcing.

​

The complexity and depth of this cacao's flavor profile are reflective of the rigorous care and commitment of the farmers who cultivate it. Each pod is hand-selected at the peak of ripeness, then naturally fermented and sun-dried to preserve the integrity of the cacao's intricate palette of flavors. The result is a cacao that is deep, rich, and complex, bearing the true taste of its origins - an experience that engages the senses and nourishes the spirit.

​

The significant compounds found in our ceremonial grade cacao include Theobromine, Phenethylamine, and Anandamide, among others. Theobromine is a gentle stimulant that offers a sustained release of energy without the jittery sensation associated with caffeine. It also improves cardiovascular health by supporting blood flow. Phenethylamine, often associated with the feeling of being in love, promotes increased focus, alertness, and overall well-being. Anandamide, aptly known as the "bliss molecule," contributes to feelings of happiness and euphoria.

​

Combined, these compounds make cacao a natural mood enhancer and an excellent aid for deep meditation and spiritual practices. Cacao is known to open the heart chakra, fostering feelings of love, compassion, and connectedness. Its use in spiritual rituals dates back thousands of years, to the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations, where it was considered a sacred plant, a bridge between earthly life and divine realms.

​

Drinking our ceremonial grade cacao can offer numerous benefits. Physically, it is heart-healthy, improves digestion, and enhances mental clarity and focus. Emotionally and spiritually, it can assist in releasing negative emotions, facilitating deep inner work, and connecting to your higher self or the divine. It is a potent tool for meditation, yoga, or any spiritual practice.

In the journey to consciousness development, what we consume plays a critical role. Our Ceremonial Grade Cacao provides a bridge, a tool that not only nourishes the body but also feeds the soul, awakening the spirit and cultivating a deep sense of connection. Sip it mindfully, and experience a profound union of body, mind, and spirit.
