Ceremonial Cacao Ritual Guide
Find Your Daily Ritual with Cacao
Drinking ceremonial cacao is much more than enjoying a warm drink — it’s a moment of connection, awareness, and care. This guide answers the most common questions about how to consume cacao in a conscious and intentional way.
What’s the recommended daily dose?
Every body is different. We recommend starting with 15–30 g per day, depending on how you feel.
No scale? That’s about 1 or 2 level tablespoons.
Tip: Start with one tablespoon and increase only if needed.
Important: Never boil the liquid. Warm your water or plant-based milk to no more than 90 °C, to preserve the cacao’s beneficial properties.
When is the best time to drink cacao?
Ideally in the morning on an empty stomach, to enjoy its clean and stable energy.
If taken with food, it may feel heavier due to its natural fat content.
Can I drink it at night?
It depends on your sensitivity. Some people sleep better after cacao, while others feel more energized. Listen to your body and decide accordingly.
How long does it take to feel the effects?
Some feel benefits after the first cup, others after a few days. For deeper physical, emotional, or spiritual results, we recommend drinking cacao daily for at least 15 days.
What type of cacao is best for me?
It depends on your intention. Here are our suggestions:
- New to cacao? Start with Everyday Cacao or soft blends like Kids or Feminine Connection.
- For deeper rituals: Ganso Ceremonial Cacao or Conscious Cacao are ideal.
Can I drink cacao before or after working out?
Yes. Drink it 20 minutes before or after your workout. It provides natural, stable energy, mental clarity, and supports good mood.
Does cacao help balance hormones?
Yes. Many women combine cacao with ashwagandha or other adaptogenic herbs to support the menstrual cycle.
Start 3 days before menstruation and continue throughout your cycle.
Who should moderate the dose?
For children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people on medication (e.g. for low blood pressure or antidepressants), we recommend a maximum dose of 10–15 g/day.
Always check with your trusted healthcare provider if unsure.
What is a ceremonial dose?
All our cacao is ceremonial grade, even if not stated on the label.
Recommended ceremonial doses:
- Everyday Cacao (Criollo): up to 45 g (occasionally)
- Ganso / Conscious Cacao: up to 35 g
Start low, and let your body integrate cacao gently.
