Beneficial for Mood: Pure cacao contains beneficial neurotransmitters and neuro-modulators already present in our brain. It also contains reuptake inhibitors that block the pathways that our bodies normally use to break down and recycle these beneficial mood altering molecules, so the good mood lasts for longer. In the long term, cacao can have therapeutic health benefits, including creating new neural pathways that change our daily experience to include more joy, love, and connection
A Whole Food: Ceremonial cacao is made from premium whole cacao beans with nothing added or removed and minimal processing. Cocoa powder, in contrast, is made from the lowest quality cacao beans, and highly processed to separate the cocoa butter, losing the essential fat based carrier mechanism for delivering the health benefits of cacao. Brewing cacao runs water through cacao nibs for a watery drink, while ceremonial cacao uses the whole bean in the drink to deliver optimum health benefits
Sourced from Tanzania: This pure 100% cacao is grown amidst the laughter and close relationships of thriving village life in Africa. Amidst extensive rice and banana crops, seven hundred certified organic farmers within the biodiverse Kilombero Valley grow cacao for Kokoa Kamili, who takes utmost care to ferment and dry the cacao to exacting standards that offer the best quality on the continent. From our farmers in Tanzania, "Asante" - this is Swahili for thank you!
