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.

Maca is a root found in the Andes in Peru & Bolivia. It has been traditionally used as a food source and as a natural medicine for centuries. As an adaptogen it has been linked to hormonal balance, fertility and energy. It has an earthful, nutty, caramel taste.

Lucuma, is a fruit native to Chile, Ecuador & Peru. It is a low GI, high fibre superfood known for its glowing honey-like, butterscotch flavour. It is a popular ice-cream flavour in the previously mentioned regions of South America. We use it to add sweetness to our blends while avoiding refined sugars and fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cacao Bloom is our flagship cacao blend, designed to be the perfect healthy hot chocolate that can be enjoyed by experienced cacao lovers and newcomers alike. We have found that other products on the market can be heavily blended and preserved, and can carry a strange ‘artificial’ or ‘refined’ sweet tinge all in an effort to make the products more dissolvable. Instead we have allowed our natural ingredients to simply exist harmoniously together with just a simple mixing process achieving a more “full bodied” chocolate experience factoring mouth feel, smell and taste. It’s creamy, it’s wholesome, comparable to biting into a piece of milk chocolate!

  • Overall, these ingredients offer mood-lifting, antioxidant rich, adaptogenic properties, sweetening the deal is the high fibre Peruvian fruit, lucuma.

  • 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.

  • Cacao Bloom 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.

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