What is Ceremonial Cacao?
The heart-opening sensation that ceremonial cacao generates, and the production process the cacao bean goes through to generate it, are the main reasons why this particular type of cacao is labeled “ceremonial”.
Technically speaking, for a cacao-product to have “ceremonial” on its label it needs to be organic, ethically-sourced, and minimally or traditionally processed pure cacao bean paste, made from high-quality Criollo or Trinitario beans.
The reason for this is that the Criollo and Trinitario beans have the highest concentration of joy-enducing compounds (such as theobromine, serotonin, proanthocyanin, anandamine, and many others) out of all cacao bean strains. By processing the bean minimally through traditional means, the resulting cacao paste retains the majority of these compounds and generates the most powerful heart-opening sensation out of all natural cacao-based products.
This ability to generate an intense body-state is why ceremonial cacao is imbibed in ceremony — this heart-opening sensation helps people feel more open, receptive and vulnerable. And when we are open, receptive and vulnerable, there is a higher likelihood we’ll identify something in our lives that needs to evolve, which is the reason ceremony exists: to catalyze change.
**Please let us know if you are taking SSRI's (not recommended to use with Cacao) so we can prepare you another beverage for our ceremony.
