Peru & Ecuador
Experience cacao in its purest form.

Whether for ceremony, meditation, or mindful daily drinking, Be Loved Cacao delivers rich flavour, deep connection, and natural energy.
What Is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed cacao made from whole beans that are roasted, peeled, and ground into a paste. Unlike cocoa powder, it retains all the cacao butter, antioxidants, and mood-boosting compounds nature intended.
Traditionally, ceremonial cacao has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous peoples of Central and South America for spiritual connection, community gatherings, and heart-opening experiences.
Benefits of Ceremonial Cacao
Our ceremonial cacao offers more than just taste — it supports mind, body, and spirit.

How to Prepare Ceremonial Cacao
Preparing ceremonial cacao is simple but sacred. Here’s how we recommend:
- Measure – Use 25–42g of cacao paste per serving. (42g is normally considered a ceremonial dose, but for regular consumption, we use 25g)
- Heat water or plant milk – avoid boiling; aim for a temperature of around 70–80°C.
- Blend – Add cacao and liquid to a blender, whisk, or frother. Blend until smooth and frothy.
- Flavour – Optionally add cinnamon, cayenne, or a natural sweetener.
- Set intention – Take a breath, sip slowly, and enjoy the moment.
