Dosage recommendations

• Everyday dose: 10–20 g – gently invigorating, ideal for morning rituals or creative work.
• Meditative dose: approx. 20 g – supports presence and heart opening.
• Ceremonial dose: 30–40 g – use powerfully, consciously in rituals.

These guidelines are proven for high-quality, 100% pure ceremonial cocoa.

Temperature for maximum nutrients

Heat water or plant milk max. 45 °C . In this way, antioxidants, minerals and the fine energy of the cocoa are preserved in the best possible way. Higher temperatures can affect aroma and recyclable materials.

Tip: If you can dip your finger briefly without it being too hot, you are usually in the right area.

Basics of preparation

• Finely chop the cocoa: on a wooden board that you use exclusively for cocoa.
• Mixing: froth by hand with a whisk or hand blender until creamy.
• Ritual: Set intention – or sing a song, hum, breathe.

Safety & Responsible Enjoyment

• Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Not recommended because cocoa has a stimulating effect (theobromine).
• Children: Under 12 years only very small amounts (max. approx. 5 g).
• Medication: Do not combine with MAOIs or certain heart medications; in case of doubt, consult a doctor.
• Frequency: Do not take ceremonial doses (30–40 g) daily – leave room for integration.
• Sensitivities: In case of histamine/caffeine sensitivity, high blood pressure or heart issues, dose carefully.
• Hydration: Drink enough water, especially at higher doses.

Ritual Clue

Prepare your cocoa consciously: stir by hand or with a hand blender, with intention or singing. Finely cut the cocoa on your own wooden board – used only for cocoa – and drink slowly, presently and gratefully.
