Cacao bloom happens due to the separation of cacao butter or sugar from the cacao liquor, causing it to rise to the surface and crystallise.
There are two types of bloom:
· Fat bloom, caused by changes in temperature, and
· Sugar bloom, due to moisture exposure.
While it might seem like a flaw, cacao bloom is a testament to the purity and authenticity of the ceremonial-grade cacao.
One of the most remarkable aspects of cacao bloom is that it does not alter the taste of chocolate. Despite its altered appearance, the rich, delicious flavours, smooth texture and medicinal properties remain intact, promising that wellbeing remedy with every sip.

Peruvian vs Ecuadorian Cacao
Our Ecuadorian Cacao is light, smooth and silky, making it the perfect introduction for those who are new to cacao. We find Ecuadorian cacao slightly less bitter than Peruvian cacao, and if you drink cacao regularly, you may start to notice distinctions in flavour, texture and how the cacao affects your meditation or shamanic journey.
Each cacao has its own personality and it's quite literally a matter of taste as to which cacao medicine suits you best! :) If you’ve never tried either cacao, why not start with our taster pack to see which one you prefer?

CACAO AND SSRIs
If you are taking SSRIs or are sensitive to caffeine, we suggest taking a maximum of 10gm cacao a day and seeing how it affects you. Cacao naturally produces serotonin, which can create issues if you are taking SSRIs that also chemically produce serotonin. We advise you to speak to your doctor if you are unsure.
