Crafted with ethically sourced, heirloom cacao from Ecuador, these drinking chocolate blends are made in the traditional style, rich, thick, and meant to be slowly sipped rather than treated as a sugary cocoa. Drinking chocolate is the original way cacao has been prepared for centuries, using whole cacao and cacao butter for depth, texture, and flavor. The cacao is sourced from farms using ecological and regenerative growing practices, with a focus on long-term soil health and rainforest restoration.
Unlike standard cocoa powder, which has most of the natural fats removed, drinking chocolate retains the cacao butter, resulting in a creamier texture and more complex flavor. All varieties are plant-based and made with organic ingredients, offered refillable so you can buy just what you’d like to try or stock up on.
Each blend has a distinct ingredient profile, with select varieties incorporating botanicals and spices traditionally used in food and herbal traditions, including reishi, maca, lucuma, and damiana, which contribute unique flavor and character to each cup.
