Beyond its usual reputation

Many, if not everyone who adores ceremonial grade cacao, loves to have it in the morning for a good reason. It gets you ready and keeps you on top of your game for the day. Unlike coffee, it doesn’t give you that burnout kind of come down, but more of an empowering, focused, and open-hearted clarity. 

So why is it so popular in the morning, and what exactly makes ceremonial grade cacao so powerful? It isn’t just the fact that “it energizes you”, but more on “how it energizes you”. Coffee mainly works on the receptors in our brain that gather adenosine, this is a compound that is responsible for increasing levels of sleepiness. What coffee does is allow caffeine to replace adenosine, effectively keeping your brain hyper-alert.

In contrast, the ceremonial grade cacao’s empowering effect comes from theobromine. This stimulant relaxes our blood vessels and can boost our blood circulation by 10% to 25%.  Although theobromine also blocks your adenosine, it does it to a lesser degree. The main thing that it accomplishes is to slightly increase your heart rate, and in turn, signal your brain to respond faster.

Cacao is known to help people focus and concentrate more, sometimes even giving them more clarity in a heart-centered kind of way. At the other end of the spectrum, it’s a fantastic tool to couple with meditation, or when closing your eyes, to slow down and focus on breath, presence, and peace. Ceremonial Grade Cacao is known as a powerful assistant in releasing the mind from the usual shackles of everyday distraction, and instead, may allow one to be more open, grateful, and fulfilled.
