Cacao Rico 90%

For all dark chocolate lovers!

Our 90% single origin dark cacao drink blend offers a decadent silky taste profile, as well as an engaging and calmative energy source that’s packed with antioxidants.

Lightly salted and with just a hint of cinnamon and lucuma to compliment the intricate dark fruit and cherry blossom notes that cut through lively nutty bitterness and lingering whiskey tannins of our organic PNG cacao, stoneground in Aus. Blended with extra cacao butter (5%) for an ultra-silky finish, It tastes like “the real thing” fresh from the source, ethical, sustainable & invigorating. 

Cacao Rico is, by nature, a vessel for naturally mood enhancing and deeply satisfying properties of the cacao bean. It’s high in theobromine which provides a long lasting boost of concentration combined with calmness without jitters, it contains natural PEA and amino acids like tryptophan which are linked to “happy” hormones like serotonin and dopamine, and, it’s a good source of magnesium which is good for healthy energy metabolism, muscle function and promoting healthy rejuvenating rest.

Cacao Rico is a great night-cap as it promotes feelings of comfort and bliss. A small cup before bed can actually help you wake up feeling fresh and rested, maybe even negating the morning caffeine craving.

Cacao is made from the seed of the theobroma cacao tree which has been cultivated for over 5000 years for a wide range of uses including ceremony, currency and an age-old indulgence. The earliest evidence of cacao/cocoa in ancient culinary practices originate in Honduras, surviving civilisations such as the Mayans and Aztecs, spreading outwardly into the Andean regions of South America. Like many goods from around the world, it eventually made its way to Europe by the late 1500s where techniques were developed to produce the many different styles of chocolate we enjoy today. Similar to the coffee bean, cacao is now grown in tropical climates around the world from Tanzania, to Peru, to Mexico to Papua New Guinea (which is where we source our cacao for all our blends)

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.

We all know about caffeine, many of us love the quick fix that can jump start your engine and get you going fast. Now introducing caffeine’s slower and more chilled out cousin that is contained in abundance in the cacao bean, theobromine. Although they are very similar in structure, theobromine provides a, less overwhelming, slower releasing, longer lasting blissful lift, without jitters that is useful if you want a more calm and targeted effect without the over-sensitive and overstimulating properties linked to caffeine. Great for productivity and mental stamina.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cacao Rico is for our true chocolate lovers. It's dark and indulgent flavour highlights the deep, moreish and rich flavours of our cacao. Organically grown and harvested in Papua New Guinea then transported in Melbourne to be ground fresh for your cup.

  • Cacao offers mood-lifting, antioxidant rich and calm energy boosting properties. It's the perfect night cap to help your rest cycles through an overall feeling of great contentment.

  • 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 Rico is great for any time of day. It's great for a calm morning elixir, as well as a mid-morning pick-me-up and best as an evening night cap.

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

  • This blend may be a bit bitter for kids by itself, we recommend making a little weaker and with a dash of honey if you are preparing for children.
