Use Cacao Vida as a base for a protein ball with dates, seeds and coconut nectar or honey.

Our cacao is sourced ethically and sustainably from Papua New Guinea as whole “pods” and then brought to Australia to be carefully stoneground and dutched in small batches. This means that it’s pretty much the freshest and most vibrant cacao going around, you will immediately notice the incredible chocolate aroma as you open your bag of Cacao Bloom for the first time.

Native Australian wild mint (A.K.A. Rivermint) has a distinct soft peppermint aroma with slight hints of lemongrass and pepperberry. We love how it ties the rich dark tropically grown cacao with the bright tannins of Japanese matcha together.

For our blends, we source organic premium matcha from the wet fields of Kagoshima Japan. This region, known for its volcanic soil and sub-tropical climate, produces a distinctly bright, smooth and slightly sweet character with low bitterness that we find works wonderfully with other natural fun flavours (especially natives!).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cacao Vida is an elixir crafted to refresh and inspire. It's for those who enjoy peppermint choc flavours but are perhaps searching for something with greater depth. When you drink this blend you can feel an aura that surrounds you and your cup.

  • This blend gives you a gentle boost of inspiration and focus that lasts for hours! It's great for those who wish to get in their flow.

  • The short answer is absolutely yes! A morning cup of cacao pairs very well with a second afternoon pick me up. Always listen to your body and enjoy in the manner best suited to you.

  • Even though caffeine is present to a small degree in the cocoa bean, the main alkaloid/stimulant is called theobromine (the mild, chilled out cousin of caffeine). Theobromine is a slow releasing, mood boosting compound that can also lower blood pressure. Paired with the high magnesium content of cacao, the effects can actually promote a fulfilled sense of rest and a long lasting aura boost rather than a jittery energy spike sharply followed by an intense crash.

    Cacao Vida also contains matcha that contains caffeine in a form that is long lasting and slow releasing so you can just keep on cooking!

  • Cacao Vida can be drunk at any time of day. It's great to help you get set for the day ahead, and equally great for the night owls among us. This blend gives you a calm sense of focus and creative clarity.

  • Whether you have a stovetop, a steamer, milk frother, campfire or something else, all you need is a way to heat up your milk of choice for a hot drink. For best results we recommend activating your powder with a splash of warm water and then adding your milk to the resulting syrup and then heating with your preferred method. Cacao Vida is also great in a smoothie, just simply add a spoonful for a healthy and nutritious chocolate hit.
