Cacao Roja

This blend celebrates the intense & dynamic flavour of our freshly roasted cacao. All it takes is a touch of chilli, a sprinkle of cinnamon and just a hint of nutmeg to bring out more of those dark and rich characteristics that us chocolate lovers adore! The spice level is not overpowering, it simply adds a gentle warmth. Best served hot in a mug.

One sip of Cacao Roja awakens your senses and delivers a slow-releasing and long-lasting lift in focus and inspiration. It is also adaptogenic, high in magnesium and full of flavonoids that can help lower blood pressure and promote healthy sleep. Check out the brown box further up on this page where we flesh out the core properties of all the ingredients featured in this delicious blend.

The short answer is absolutely yes! A morning cup of cacao pairs very well with a second afternoon pick me up or night time treat. 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.

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 Roja is also great in a smoothie, just simply add a spoonful for a healthy and nutritious chocolate hit.

Cacao Roja is an all-day, anytime, functionally versatile blend. It can be a great way to energise you and get you motivated and focused in the morning, a mid-morning substitute for that second coffee, a convenient high-fibre superfood snack or even a comforting night-time magnesium rich indulgence that helps you to unwind.

Cacao Roja is safe for all ages, however the Cacao Bloom may be a better choice for little ones unless they like dark chocolate and are not too sensitive to a tiny bit of chilli.
